About a year to the day that Jess Simpson was announced as the University of Miami’s new defensive line coach, the Hurricanes have bid him farewell and announced his replacement.
UM has hired Akron Zips defensive coordinator Todd Stroud as its new defensive line coach to replace Simpson, who apparently is taking a job in the NFL, where he came from last March to begin his short tenure with the Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes begin spring practice two weeks from Tuesday, on March 19, although the exact schedule has not been released.
“We are excited to welcome Todd to The U,” UM coach Manny Diaz said in a released statement.
