I don't know anything about this guy, but it look's like he has a pretty impressive resumay. Miami and Oregon in the college ranks, and San Fran., Seattle and St. Louis in the pros, covering 30 years of exsperience all together as a defensive position coach or a D-Coor. I don't think there's any question he has the exsperience. That make's 4 coaches on this staff with NFL exsperience that I know of. Bobby Petrino, Paul Petrino, Willy Robinson, and Ward. (sorry, couldn't remember first name)
Lorenzo, and i'm with you; I don't know much about our new DC either but he looks to be an (apparently) great hire. Yet another superb decision for Petrino.
