A new linebackers coach gets two returning starters and some interesting pieces to fill out the group.
Changes up and down the Cincinnati Bearcats’ staff will mean shifts for most positional groups. Everyone on defense has to get used to a new defensive coordinator. Well, two technically, since Robert Prunty and Jeff Koonz will be co-coordinators.
Koonz will work particularly closely with the linebackers, as he also has the title of linebackers coach. He has plenty of experience with the position. He spent the previous four years coaching the linebackers at Louisiana Tech and was in charge of the Texas Longhorns’ unit in 2006.
