Played for Kelly at UC, most recently was CB coach at UC. From Dayton, where he played for football power Wayne HS, which is a virtual talent pipeline to OSU.

Initial thought is this is a good hire. Never hurts to have someone who can recruit OH.

- If Kelly had hired Belichick and Saban there would be some ND fans who would bitch about the hiresNT fedman 1:07pm · 2/15/20
- Seems like he was the 3rd choice, but I think ND got the right guy ND_in_DRO 8:41am · 2/14/20
  - We really don't know who the 1st choice wasNT D2 2:05pm · 2/14/20
    - What makes you think the first choice wasn't Deronte Jones? ND_in_DRO 9:00am · 2/15/20
      - Only Kelly & co. know who their 1st choice was. D2 1:23pm · 2/15/20
        
        Fair enough ND_in_DRO 8:28pm · 2/15/20
        
        I know you are supportive of the hire. D2 1:34pm · 2/16/20
  - Absolutely, the third choice is always better than the first twoNT PBHangingChad 10:56am · 2/14/20

- he played for Kelly so why isn’t everyone bitching that Kelly isn’t going out of his “comfort zone”NT CC72 9:33pm · 2/13/20
- Can he recruit? Can he teach the cb's to look for the ball (or is that technique obsolete)? ghostwriter 8:54pm · 2/13/20
  - It’s obsolete- it’s not the way the position is taught or coached anymoreNT murph92675 6:01pm · 2/15/20
  - I think recruiting against the big boys is the real question here.NT whatsamataU 4:37pm · 2/14/20
    - I think it's more about Ghostwriter's post. ND's gotten top notch DBs...but Karamello 8:05pm · 2/14/20
- great hire, Brian keeps hitting home runsNT DonMiller 5:15pm · 2/13/20
  - Faust was from Ohio. This is another stretch. Aragoto 8:24pm · 2/13/20
  - I agree. This is a great hire.NT MrP 8:19pm · 2/13/20
    - Lou and Ara were both from OhioNT DonMiller 2:09pm · 2/14/20
  - Hey there dirty Don, how would you characterize this one? arnie 8:08pm · 2/13/20
  - McNulty a home run also? whatsamataU 6:55pm · 2/13/20
  - Explain why this is a homerun?NT holybull101 5:33pm · 2/13/20
    - Appears to know how to coach players up.NTLink ucandoit 1:18am · 2/14/20
    - Don is a robot.NT whatsamataU 6:55pm · 2/13/20
    - Read the article and explain why it isn't.NT faircatchcorby 6:21pm · 2/13/20
      - A good hire, probably, but a homerun hire is a stretch. Maybe a double in baseball terms. NDQuebec 6:48pm · 2/13/20
        
        In my opinion, it's hard to find a reason to bitch about this hire... Domer From Hell 11:36pm · 2/13/20
        
        Good point!NT Jerseymick 11:33am · 2/14/20
