Report: Mickens to Kent State
Among the new assistants on the #KentState staff, #BowlingGreen's Mike Mickens to coach DBs; #SouthDakota's Matthew Middleton is expected to coach WRs & Zac Barton (special teams) from #WinonaState, source tells me.— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 27, 2017
If true, this means that Carl Pelini will be able to pick two new members of his defensive staff. He was going to pick one, which is the new 10th coach and now will be able to pick a coach to replace Mickens.
Mickens was the last remaining coach from the Babers staff. Both coaches that Babers left in BG are now at Kent--Mickens and Sowder.

Mickens was an outstanding DB at UC before his injury.
Yes, he was. I felt like there were times when the dbacks improved last year but they often seemed to regress, too. Obviously, Lewis has confidence in him. Wish him the best.
The cleaner the slate the better. And if it means a chance to upgrade without the unsightly need to fire folks, so much the better.
I will be curious to see if Kent improves. The MAC has dire need to elevate coaching and results across the board.
