BG Adds New D-line coach
Source: BGSU Football is hiring Jimmy Williams as their new defensive line coach.— Jordan Strack (@JordanStrack) January 25, 2018
Was on PJ Fleck’s staff at Western Michigan. Was the #15 overall pick in the 1982 NFL draft after playing at Nebraska.
He’s also coached at Toledo, EMU, Buffalo, UAB, among others.
Jordan Strack is reporting that BG has hired a new coach. What is interesting is that he does not fill one of the two slots that were thought to be open. As you know, the d-line coach is Marcus White, who Strack reports in a separate tweet is moving to be the RB coach. As far as I can tell, BG didn't have a specific RB coach last year, so this is probably the tenth assistant.
So, the interesting thing about Williams is that he knows Pellini from Nebraska, so this is his first opportunity to put a stamp on the program with a stronger base of assistants. Has coached quite a bit, including at Elite WMU, but also elsewhere in the MAC. Knowing the area and the conference is something else that I think has been lacking.
Again, the Downard and Mickens spots remain open. Stay tuned.

The nah-sayers will have a fit with this, but credit where it is due, these are increasingly meaningful and good looking changes and upgrades.
A defense, short on talent as it may or may not be next year, with a massive fire lit under their butts could win two or three more games alone.
Proof is in the pudding. I like butterscotch, but I'll settle for tapioca.
