Might get a little confusing at meetings (Coach Les)? Tons of Power 5 experience. Looking forward to seeing what he brings.

We hardly knew you Jay, but good luck with the Cowboys.

Can't find anything official online, but he's already changed his Twitter profile to Linebacker Coach at University of Wyoming.

Kim Dameron - Senior Analyst, Defense (tons of experience...)

Anthony Percoraro - Senior Analyst, Defense (experience at Southern Miss. and Florida State, etc.)..no info on KU Staff directory..
Tony Coaxum - Senior Special Teams Analyst (former Army player/coach, NFL coaching experience...)...not listed on KU Staff directory, yet...

Updates on coach analysis to come...Dameron has over 30 years of coaching experience so it might take me a while...

Previously posted in general Football section...

He started out playing and then as a grad assistant at Texas A&M. Several successful years at Fresno State (one conference title in 2013) and was promoted to defensive coordinator at New Mexico last year...This looks like a good hire.

Coach Hecklinski is taking the Offensive Coordinator post at San Diego State with HC he worked with in the past. Not sure on what Coach Ekeler's next step is?
