I would expect that we have somebody on staff that can coach LBs... heck the DC has coached just about every position, I would not be much of a stretch for him to take over LB too

I know we have an alumni Jordan burton as a prospect analyst I wonder if he is a candidate. He is a lb guy. I agree someone on staff could likely do it. Interested to see what direction Gundy goes there

Really like this hire. I hope he's successful and Gundy can keep him more than two years!
