Louisville's Bill Miller Joins KU Staff

KUsports.com is reporting that Louisville's Bill Miller will join the KU staff as the linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator for Clint Bowen. That means that Steve Tovar appears to be moving on. The shift in personnel was a little surprising, but Miller is a veteran and should be a great asset. The odd thing is that I was thinking we were in the market for a d-line coach.

I am really excited about this addition to the team. I was curious to see who would come in to fill this position as it seems we have the personnel to get more pressure on the QB and help protect our new linebackers and corners. One of the first things that ran through my mind was how many different places this man has been and the contacts that go with them. That could be a great recruiting tool. Coach 'em up Mr. Miller!

Agreed. I really like adding a coach of this caliber to the staff and if we could see a quantum leap on defense next year (thinking along the lines of how Ed Warriner impacted the O in 2007) then 2009 should be a lot of fun.
