BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Deland McCullough won't wait on opportunity. There are too many mountains to climb, goals to meet, successes to attain.

Know that first when understanding why McCullough, a nationally renowned NFL assistant coach coming off a second-straight Super Bowl appearance, is once again Indiana's running backs coach, and this time around, associate head coach as well.

"It was something I jumped at," McCullough says via a Zoom video conference. "Everything just fit for me."

Fit finds him at his Kansas City home. Behind him is a replica of a Super Bowl trophy won with the Kansas City Chiefs and the ESPN E60 Emmy Award for the story about finding his birth parents.
