Urban was interested and interviewed him but went another direction. He’s a good coach and recruiter, but he didn’t turn Jacksonville down to go to Tennessee.
That’s a really strong hire as a LB coach. He’s been solid for years, and a very strong recruiter in Florida. Was really surprised there was so much unfamiliarity with him.
Pretty recently. They promoted a quality control guy to fill the staff vacancy (he’s ST coordinator solely) so they did save some money on their staff budget. I imagine there’s a number they don’t want to go over for Washington, but that’s just my guess. They print money though, so who knows.
