Per FootballScoop.
He'd been working under Jeff Grimes as a GA at Va Tech and LSU the last couple years. Frank Wilson seems to be taking several LSU support staffers with him to San Antonio.
Will be interesting to follow his career... maybe someone auburn looks at down the road in a few years.

Its pretty cool to see the number of AU guys working their way into coaching. DCraig, Rocker, TRob & Garner have all established themselves but seems like we have a new wave coming up through Kodi, TWill, Karibe Dede and now Pugh. Jonathan Wallace is expected to be a GA I believe next season. Very cool to see
I have no reason to be but I am super excited about Travis being LB coach this season. Guy was the heartbeat of that defense 04-05 and from all accounts does a great job of connecting with guys. Rod Bramblett mentioned that when Eltoro was here TWill was really the only guy that could get through to him and would constantly be talking to him throughout the game to get him from losing his mind out there. Curious to see how does developing guys and recruiting. I think he can be a stud recruiter but really hoping he develops into an outstanding LB coach

I'm also excited about Twill. He's going to be a good one, I think. Has a great mind for football.

There's a new batch of young coaches with ties to the auburn tuberville era... Travis Williams and Karibi Dede at Louiville are a couple of them... you could even count Pugh and Kodi Burns (both recruited by tuberville and played a couple years for him).
The money in coaching has gotten so massive that "loyalty" to your former school will be diminished... still, it's cool to watch auburn guys go off and succeed as coaches.

In the end though you'll never take the Auburn out of them no matter where they go onto coach though and that's something pretty cool. Karibi and Kodi still very much in touch with Auburn despite coaching elsewhere

Luckily for these guys, we overpay more than anyone else.

Kodi and Karibi have impressed me the most. Karibi has earned a doctorate, and Kodi has been patient and now finds himself at a Pac 12 school...pretty fun to watch these ex players learn the ropes.
