He was Co-OC with OL coach Matt Moore. Strange three headed animal since Neal Brown was calling plays. Edenfield is a good OC and he'll be successful at USA. The culture Steve Campbell brings to USA is far more important than any staff member. He's a great coach and will do great things at USA.

Edenfield will also be much closer to his family now as well. I know that was a big factor in the move. He and Steve played ball together in college so I don't really view this as a "FU" move. Best of luck to him.

Good hire for Coach Campbell at USA, I assume he had asked Nathan Brown first but he instead stayed in Conway and became HC at his Alma Mater

No word on it. But he has been the DC at Clemson, North Carolina, Illinois, and maybe Kansas or Kansas State. I forget. He's a good one. He's much more valuable than any OC we have. Neal Brown would not be as successful without that home-run hire.

How'd he end up from there to Troy?

Short story..Wyoming DC and had success. Became head coach and did not. He was hired be CLB at Troy and was DC 2003-2004 and had good success. He was then hired by Tommy Bowden to be the DC at Clemson and stayed there until 2008 when Tommy was fired. His defense was strong leading the ACC in scoring D and 9th overall in the country. However when Dabo was named HC he elected to resign. IMO I feel like he either had issue with Dabo or was upset that he was passed over for the HC gig.. not sure. Here’s a little read on that

he then bounced around and ended up at NC with Fedora and I think there was also some personal conflicts between the two. 

So fast forward...2015 NB was able to grab probably one of the best coordinators in the country who appears to be very happy in Troy, happy being a coordinator and obviously doing his thing! Hope we can keep him for years to come!

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
