Dan Mullen has replaced Torrian Gray or Ron English with Wesley "CrimeDawg" McGriff as the Secondary Coach. CrimeDawg spent the last two seasons with Auburn as the DB Coach and Co-DC. Last year his Tiger passing defense was #3 in the SEC. McGriff is known as an excellent recruiter. He grabbed SDE Robert Nkemdiche out of Loganville, GA and brought him to Ole Miss in 2013. Nkemdiche is one of four 5-star athletes to have a perfect 1.000 rating (Jadaveon Clowney, Vince Young, Ernie Sims). Nkemdiche was All-SEC and 2nd-team All-American in 2015, and was a 1st-round draft pick to the Arizona Cardinals in 2016. McGriff has also recruited CB Brandon Harris out of Booker T. Washington to Miami (FL) in 2008 (2011 NFL draft, round 2 to Houston), CrimeDawg also recruited Tony Connor (Ole Miss 2013), Storm Johnson (Miami 2009), and Brandon McGee (Miami 2008) among others.
Rumor has it that Texas Secondary Coach Chris Ash is being targeted as well. Once the hires are official we will know their actual positions.
