Good hire. Was with Koening in Illinois so they have a good working relationship. Together they had the 11th ranked defense in the country. That is playing Big10 teams...not MAC, WAC, and CUSA comp.

Would be nice if they could get Hargreave or McCollum now to fill Duggan's position.

I think its a good hire. Now Id like to see Daryl Dixon hired to coach in the secondary and move Vic to LBers. Dixon would be a young energetic guy that would help with recruiting.

Yeah, they did mention his name as a candidate. Actually, I agree. I think he would be a perfect fit now that I think about it.

Nice find with the video!

I like his energy. And that's a pretty excellent track record. Seems like a homerun hire to me.

This seems like a solid if not terrific hire. Fedora continues to breed confidence.

Any idea how this translates into success with the 4 DL prospects on campus this weekend?

UNC definitely has a better chance of landing some of these prospects with a new D-line coach on board. The timing of this hire is great and he seems like a very solid choice.

I liked Deke and thought he did a good job but Gilmore, IMO, is definitely an upgrade. Glad to have him on board.

Larry Fedora does not disappoint with his hires. Says a great deal about the respect he has earned within the coaching profession.
