His college coaching experience is as follows:
2011 Cincinnati (DA)
2012 Indiana State (DA)
2013 Idaho (CB)
2014–2017 Bowling Green (CB)
2018–2019 Cincinnati (CB)
2020–present Notre Dame (DB)
He clearly is a wonderful CB coach. Freeman may feel he needs more experienced (than he is) Coordinators as he grows into being a better head coach. Having to look over Micken's shoulder as a "new" DC might be more than he wants to do. WE also have a pretty green group of defensive players and Freeman may feel he needs someone with more experience at running an entire defense than Mickens has.
