I’ve never heard of him, forgive me. So I went to Google, the place we all go when looking for answers to the questions we must know and found this biographical post on the Washington Redskins website which gave his career history.

18 straight years in the NFL until 2015….now he comes to Mississippi State.
WOW, are you serious?!
Defensive lineman of the south, we now have a coach who doesn’t just say he knows what it takes to play in the NFL, he has been coaching them at that level since before you were born!
Pretty good hire by Dan Mullen I’d say. He may have to dust off the recruiting handbook, but so what, this is a guy with quite an impressive list of jobs he’s had coaching defensive lines across college and pro football.
