Falcon Nation News: "H" Edition: Hillman Leaves, Hewitt Head Coaching

A couple pieces of big news here in Falcon land....

First, the strength and conditioning Coach, Aaron Hillman is heading to UM to work for Brady Hoke.  Hillman will be the assistant strength coach at UM.  These guys are interesting.  It seems as if no coach develops the loyalty and bond with players that the strength coach does, and I'm seeing some reactions on Twitter from players who are disappointed about him leaving.  BG will presumably seek a replacement.

On the positive news, Gonzo-LB, action figure and super hero Mitch Hewitt is returning to Chardon, his alma mater, to be the Head Football Coach.  He already teaches there and is on City Council.  As a Falcon, he was #11, was the victim of the Code Red Fake Punt in UM's second UT game.  He finished the 2003 season with 84 tackles, 5 for loss, along with 5 pass break ups and 3 fumble recoveries.  If I am not mistaken, he had the coverage on the big fourth down play that sealed the Purdue win.

Best of luck to both Hillman and Hewitt in their next endeavors.
