Wondering about Nick Holt. Is he still on the staff? Anyone know?
I talked to one of the defensive players (DB) and asked if there were any defensive coaching changes. He said no, none that have been communicated to the defensive players.

Cassity is being named the DC for Sam Houston St That’s a good move for him. Leaves us looking for coaches at a crucial recruiting time.

Lots of congrats on social media directed to Cassidy. Hoping KP has known about this move for a while and is bringing in a quality coach.

Still confused by Cassity being hired at Sam. Did I miss something about how this seasons defense played?

I remember our defense keeping us in the majority of games while the offense sputtered. Certainly not perfect and a glaring lack of tackling. But a lot of turnovers and a more than respectable performance against Texas A&M. I believe losing Cassidy is a big loss for us. I hope we can make a really nice hire.

Ok I'm officially confused again. Last week Bowie was added to the staff directory but now is not there. What's going on?
