The Miami RedHawks have their work cut out for them when it comes to revamping the defense for 2022. Miami witnessed a mass exodus of impact players at all three levels of the defense, in addition to the departure of both co-defensive coordinators, John Hauser and Spence Nowinsky, to its crosstown rival Ohio this offseason.
Replacing Hauser and Nowinsky in the defensive coordinator role is Bill Brechin. Brechin enters his ninth year on the RedHawks staff and spent the last four specializing with the safeties. His work included developing recent program icon Sterling Weatherford, an All-MAC selection who signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent this offseason.
