    Very accurate statement. This one has me scratching my head, but only because I have no idea what to really think about it.

    If Sarkisian is on board, so am I.

    A young but experienced rising DL Coach who can recruit is the profile needed.

    "Rising" by who's estimation? From what I can tell, just Matt Zenitz's estimation. 

    We'll see I guess.

    Watched a couple of his pressers while at WKU - dude has a great personality. High energy, positive attitude... reminds me a bit of Choice. Hopefully he'll be just as dynamic of a recruiter!

    @Bobby Burton @Blake Munroe @Bob Shipley @Rod Babers - any of y'all have ties to Brandon Jones or deshon Elliott to get the skinny on him as a man/coach over the past year with the dolphins?

    • WKU had #2 scoring D in CUSA in ‘22
    • DL DeAngelo Malone was the 2021 Conference USA DPOY (16.5 TFL & 8 sacks)
    • Malone named 1st team all conference in ‘20.

    UT-Chattanooga (2019)
    • DL Devonnsha Maxwell (1st team All-SoCon)
