Former Kentucky assistant Derrick LeBlanc lands DL coach gig with Arizona Cardinals

The coaching carousel has not stopped spinning. After the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts made the final head coach hires in the NFL cycle following the Super Bowl, it’s now time for all 32 franchises to fill out their coaching staffs.

A former Kentucky assistant has landed a big gig. Derrick LeBlanc will be on Jonathan Gannon’s first staff in Arizona which will also include two former Florida assistants who spent just one year on Billy Napier’s staff in Gainesville.

A Northwestern State alum who hails from Louisiana, LeBlanc spent three seasons in Lexington (2017-19) coaching the defensive line under defensive coordinators Matt House and Brad White.
