BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Dad is here at Indiana's football practice fields, watching, playing with his grandson, thinking about fishing, analyzing how he can help his son develop a rock-your-world Hoosier defense.

Dave Wommack spent most of his adult life coaching football, defense primarily, a man on a mission to turn college offenses into rubble.

He succeeded more than most, running defenses at Georgia Tech and Mississippi, among others in a 30-plus-year career. Retired now, he's been summoned from his Mississippi home to Bloomington to flex his coaching muscles for a Cream & Crimson cause, imparting wisdom his son, Kane, hopes to use to elevate IU into a Top-25 unit.
