billy miller

So Tovar is out which I'm very happy about.
Why?
Well, at the open house for the new football facility I was walking around and I saw Tovar leaving. One of the other coaches / admins of the program asked in disbelief "are you leaving" tovars response was that coach told him he could leave at 6 or some shit like that.

So for me it boils down to a couple of things.
1- he didn't recruit worth a damn
2- his unit had poor results, granted there were injuries but they were weak
3- a guy that's ready to leave the office is not a guy that needs to be helping you reach a higher level of competition in D1

So who the hell is Billy Miller.
Well he's the new LB / co-D coordinator for KU.

He recruits his ass off and has ties in FL and in the OH, IN and MI area.
I'd guess he'll recruit FL and that's a good thing for KU.
He's worked with Nick Saban and Ron Zook amongst others.
He knows a ton of people in the coaching ranks and has a lot of "ins" from a lot of areas as mentioned so KU will have the opportunity to get in on some different kids than they have in the past, all good things.

Most importantly is he'll give Bowen a guy with a lot of experience to bounce schemes off of. He'll be up in the box and see things that Bowen can't see, going to so huge for the D.

Great deal for KU.
And UNC just lost which is Frustrating?
