Virginia's Mendenhall shakes up defensive staff assignments | |
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall is shaking things up a bit on his staff. Mendenhall said Monday that defensive coordinator and secondary coach Nick Howell will continue as coordinator and oversee the secondary, but former inside linebackers coach Shane Hunter will become the safeties coach. Kelly Poppinga, who shares the coordinator's role with Howell, will now coach inside and outside linebackers. "These adjustments provide coach Howell the opportunity and assistance to focus more of his efforts on the overall execution of the defense," Mendenhall said in a release. "... My intent is to maximize his knowledge and experience with our defense to provide our team with the best opportunity for success." MORE | |
