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.

It’s kinda the same thing basically…

Wow he is 27 years old.

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

Coaching is coaching. Why would you hire some assistant DL coach from the league when you can get a rising star in college coaching that has experience leading the room?

The guy has risen from graduate assistant to DL coach and assistant head coach in 5 years.

Cautiously optimistic about this hire. His work at Minnesota was very good.

I am not worried about any assistants as long as Gannon is the coach. Yes that includes Petzing.

rallis gets what rallis wants - he's earned that imo - specially if we're losing kyzir

Indeed. We had this when Gannon was hired. Practically every position coach was hired from the college game, some from small programs, and I don't think anyone has not worked out. The only guy we fired was Derrick LeBlanc and we got him from the Dolphins.

Agree with this.

Gannon is also 12-22 with that staff so let's not be too quick to pat ourselves on the back here.
