DL Coach Hawt Board v2.0

Maybe Okam is a great coach, but forgive me for being nervous about bringing in another assistant position coach from the NFL.
Okam does have experience coaching in college (Toledo, Baylor and Rice) and had success at each location. The question with him is whether he wants to uproot his family from Texas.
 
I don't want anything to do with NFL guys we bring into college. It's such a different game with rosters, motivation, and even schematically.

Most of us were pretty pleased with Knighton...and he was an NFL guy. Just because our last hire sucked doesn't mean that all coaches of this mold suck.

Rhule bringing Knighton with him from the Panthers that was there for 2 years prior to being in college football is different altogether than a Bradden or Butler hire straight from the NFL while Rhule is already here. Kind of apples and oranges comparison there.

But I'll rephrase my point... I don't want to hire a guy that has been in the NFL since 2013 (Butler) and 2017 (Bradden) to come coach a position in 2026 college football. Whole different world.

Wondering if Lose wasn’t offered because Robinson was available? Maybe waiting until after the bowl to offer or formally accept? I don’t know anything for certain about that. I did read or hear somehow that he was a very good DL coach, not sure about the recruiting.
