If this is who I think it is, he was on Parker’s staff, and if this is the case, the firing of Parker and hiring of this guy makes absolutely no sense. Assistant coach on staff with no coordinator experience? This could not have been their first choice or it would have been done months ago.
My guess is that “maybe” Tim Budd was in the mix and the admin told him, or other coaches who were interviewed that they had no jobs available and that the job would be football only, and the other candidates told them to kick rocks.
