Pitt picked up Chris Beatty.

Very good recruiter. Wish we would have kept him on board in some capacity.

Louisiana Tech has reportedly hired Bob Diaco as defensive coordinator.

Diaco's career trajectory is not going in the direction one would think he would like it to be going.
DC at Yukon is better than what he was likely to get at OU, but a mere three  years ago he was the HFC at UConn.  Since then, he's been a DC, a quality control person (or whatever the position is that prohibits on-field coaching), a position coach, and now he's the DC at a G8 school.
If he tears it up at La. Tech, maybe he'll get back on the fast track, but I doubt that will be the case.

he could change his philosophy there, passive bend but don't break doesn't work vs RPO offenses these days

USC just replaced Kingsbury with North Texas OC Graham Harrell.  Just one former Texas Tech QB with another.

Mike Leach's recruiting pitch to every QB is simply that you won't play in the NFL, but you'll have a quick rise through the coaching ranks.

play in the NFL for 3-5 years or coach for 30?
