McClendon left for UCONN and Nardo is looking at D2 head coaching jobs.

Hopefully we can get some good coordinators / S&C coach replacements.

After last season, there was no way the d-line coach and the strength coach could have possibly survived. And quite often "pursuing other opportunities" means getting fired. I can't definitively state that this is the case here.

with the transition occurring with the Miami Dolphins... it would be cool if DP could find a role for Curt Kuntz (former Struthers HC). Having that NFL experience and being able to connect some dots at the next level could be helpful with recruits/transfers. Bring him home!

Kuntz is a heck of a coach.

Ashton Youboty has left to become the DB coach at Purdue. Plenty of open spots still left to fill...

Ashton did a great job for us with the D backs. The players bought in to his coaching and it showed on the field. Glad for Ashton, but sorry for us.  I think he was great connecting with the players and getting results on the field. A special gift.
