I see the same thing.. Lot of guys his has a history with or some kind of connection. I'm guessing the OC and DC's still interviewed them and we're fine with it them though.
Honestly think the biggest reason why TWill wasn’t even considered is because Harsin really, really likes Schmedding and knew he was coming with him to Auburn. Previous DC/ILB coach. That’s his guy. And Mason, if Auburn is successful, just might not be a long term DC. At 51, he’s young enough to be serious about another head coaching gig, sooner than later
It’s impressive to me that Harsin and Mason have two younger, former DCs as position coaches (although Watts is coaching ST too). Seems clear that he sees defensive coordinator material out of both of those guys once they have a few years of SEC experience under their belts

Very much agree here.

The thing that will be interested to watch to me is with so many former DCs how quickly do they get on the same page or do they have different ideas and clash? I think it will be interesting to follow.

If I'm not mistaken half the staff has OC or DC experience. Bobo, Friend, Mason, Schmedding, Watts. Can't be a bad thing.
