RB Coach Matt Merritt Accepts Job with Cardinals

[MedleyCane]

If I had to guess, Mario's gonna go with a Coach that's young and hungry. These are the RB coaches that have been featured on 247's 30 under 30 lists over the last few years:

Chandler Burke - Army

Ra'Shaad Samples - Oregon

Antonio Wilcox - TCU

John Miller - Indiana

Jordan McNeil - Texas A&M Texarkana

Jordy Joseph - Houston

Savon Huggins - Penn State

Kenny Hill Jr - Arkansas State

Damiere Shaw - Rutgers

Jonathan Wallace - Kansas

Devon Spalding - Michigan State

Isaac Reed - Eastern Michigan

Kam Martin - FSU


I think Savon Huggins would've been the grand slam but he just got hired by Penn State and Matt Campbell loves him. I'd put my money on either Shaw from Rutgers or Kam Martin who FSU just hired from Tulsa.

One name I would like for Cristobal to chase is Norval McKenzie, who was the RB coach at GT before he was nabbed by James Franklin at VT this year.
He was a coach under Satterfield at Appy State and Louisville, so there is a connection.
Plus, we know Mario has no problem poaching recently hired assistants.
