if you're Mizzou, that we don't just promote our D-line coach, Craig Kuwolski, from within to become our new defensive coordinator?

This would be the D-line coach who has coached up the past two SEC Defensive Players of the Year (Shane Ray 2014, Michael Sam 2013) and also molded his other two starting defensive ends the past 2 years, Kony Ealy and Marcus Golden, into NFL draft picks.

This would be the D-line coach who has coached up the Mizzou D-line to lead the SEC in sacks each of the past 2 years - done mostly while only rushing four.

This would, for good measure, also be the D-Line coach who prior to the last few years also coached current NFL D-linemen Sheldon Richardson, Aldon Smith, Ziggy Hood and Jacquies Smith.

He is currently a finalist for 2014 D-line coach of the year.

Yes we have other options, including the Memphis D-coordinator who is a Pinkel disciple. But this one seems like a pretty open and shut case to me. You give it to our current D-line coach before someone else comes in and steals him away from us. Right?

You bring in Barry Odom if he wants to come.

He did a good job at Mizzou and has done a great job at Memphis. Plus he is almost 10 years younger than Coach Kul.

I think Coach Kul gets a big raise either way.

Whoa!!!

Need to make sure Muschamp is aware of this! Sure he would forego the AU job if he is told of this new opportunity.

As a Tide fan I can tell you that nothing can go wrong by promoting a d line coach. In fact, you should probably start an old school fax campaign to make him your HC.

Barry Odom

As long as Kul is....well, cool with staying on as DL. Give him more money. Whatever.

This is a good chance to add a new assistant with SEC recruiting ties. I'd be on board with promoting coach Kul, and bringing in a new position coach with some proven ability to recruit in the areas we're trying to break into now.
