Sorry, you're right, he was with the Steelers as an adult. I didn't catch that, as it was towards the end of his bio...I guess he was a summer intern there once, and then assisted with coaching DBs on a 1-16 Cleveland Browns team, defensive analyst for Vandy (probably his best gig), grad assistant at Southeastern Louisiana (not sure what that is and how he couldn't parlay his connections at Vandy into a better gig), and then coaching secondary in a joke football league. I'm sorry, I just think that's kind of a sad resume. Those placements are either kind of meaningless (i.e. the Steelers intern gig) or kind of sad (AAF and coaching one of the worst NFL teams in history). I guess I wouldn't expect much more since we're bringing in a star coach whatever that means, but it just sort of wraps up the way that things have looked for us during RE2 in a nutshell
I think this is a kind of sad post.
ONE thing: it is obvious that our new DC made this a priority. He didn't see Wholley as the future and used personal relationships to bring in JH. He knows this guy. He has some notion of how he will recruit. And thanks be to God ... Edsall is letting a guy with some credible background make a move on Defense. I wish better for Jon Wholley; but that is over.
