Very interesting angle to this coaches resume that Jim Harbaugh had him tagged to be Stanford's DC back in 2010 after Ruffin was done at Texas Tech. I am still a bit leery of this hire, but it says a lot that Harbaugh thought enough of him to want him as his DC. I know most on here have no love for Harbaugh, but most have to admit he knows football.
