The University of Memphis looks as if it has found a replacement for departed cornerback coach Chris Vaughn, who left to join Charlie Strong’s staff at the University of Texas.

North Texas cornerbacks coach Ryan Walters, a former Colorado defensive back, is expected to fill the void, according to several sources close to the program.

Walters spent one season under Dan McCarney at North Texas in 2013 after serving as a graduate assistant in 2012 at Oklahoma and working with the Sooner cornerbacks. Before joining the Oklahoma staff, Walters spent two seasons at Arizona under Mike Stoops. He was a graduate assistant in 2010 and the defensive backs coach in 2011.

After finishing his playing career in 2008 as an honorable mention All-Big 12 defensive back, Walters served as a student assistant for the Buffaloes in 2009 working with the secondary.

Memphis, 3-9 last season, begins spring practice March 2 and its third season under coach Justin Fuente next fall.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I would take 30-60 as a success overall but what I really don't want is a defense that gets absolutely steamrolled in any one game. Show me you can adjust during games to counter opponent's adjustments. I do put some of Caponi's failure on Eric Morris with his poor game management so I guess we'll see if he can do some soul searching this offseason.

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green: 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.

      What's a reasonable expectation for our defense? Given this offense and the history of the Leach tree, I dnh't think T30 is within reach, but can we feel comfortable if Cassity gets this in the T30-60 range? Do we win 9-10 games with that level of play? Consider me cautiously optimistic. I totally get the concerns, too.
