Troy Douglas per Charles Rogers twitter.
Is this confirmed?
If true, it's an awesome hire. Great coach and tremendous Florida recruiting connections.
Cheers
Douglas came to Chapel Hill after serving three years as the defensive backs coach at South Florida. During his tenure in Tampa, USF earned three bowl bids and won 26 games.
Douglas also has coached at Indiana (2004-05), South Carolina State (2003), Michigan State (2001-2002), SMU (1997-2000), UTEP (1995-1996), East Tennessee State (1992-1994) and West Chester (1989-1991).
A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Douglas was a four-year starter at wide receiver for Appalachian State from 1983-86. He led the team in receiving as a junior and senior. When he graduated, he ranked third all-time at ASU with 90 career receptions for 1,401 yards.
Wow. He moves around a lot!
Definitely a good hire here. A good step for him going from an assistant to being the dbacks coach. Hopefully this strenghtens our recruiting in the south even more.
You do realize that it is a lateral move and that he will have the same job here as he did there right?
