The Arizona Cardinals are expected to hire University of Minnesota’s Winston DeLattiboudere as their new defensive line coach, sources tell me.
.One of the top rising star coaches at the college level now headed to the NFL.
DeLattiboudere, who started 36 games as a d-lineman at Minnesota before getting into coaching, was promoted to assistant head coach at Minnesota last year.Has coached standouts such as current draft prospect Jah Joyner and helped Minnesota rank No. 5 nationally in total defense this season.

What’s with hiring all these college coaches? This reeks of the smartest guy in the room syndrome.
I’m all about not hiring retreads from the nfl good ole boys club. But what about hiring some young rising star nfl coaches that know how to deal with professionals.

How does one identify a young rising star nfl coach before they're a position coach? We can't just hire away someone else's DL coach to be ours, unless Bidwill wants to get into a bidding war with owners who are a lot richer than him. With college you can get a young talented DL coach and hire him at the same position.

Minnesota fans are devasted at losing this guy.

My first thought wasn’t smartest guy in the room, but cheapest guy in the room syndrome.

Wow he is 27 years old.

Still older than McVay when he got his first position coaching job in the NFL.
