He was Co-OC with OL coach Matt Moore. Strange three headed animal since Neal Brown was calling plays. Edenfield is a good OC and he'll be successful at USA. The culture Steve Campbell brings to USA is far more important than any staff member. He's a great coach and will do great things at USA.

Edenfield will also be much closer to his family now as well. I know that was a big factor in the move. He and Steve played ball together in college so I don't really view this as a "FU" move. Best of luck to him.

No word on it. But he has been the DC at Clemson, North Carolina, Illinois, and maybe Kansas or Kansas State. I forget. He's a good one. He's much more valuable than any OC we have. Neal Brown would not be as successful without that home-run hire.

How'd he end up from there to Troy?

Short story..Wyoming DC and had success. Became head coach and did not. He was hired be CLB at Troy and was DC 2003-2004 and had good success. He was then hired by Tommy Bowden to be the DC at Clemson and stayed there until 2008 when Tommy was fired. His defense was strong leading the ACC in scoring D and 9th overall in the country. However when Dabo was named HC he elected to resign. IMO I feel like he either had issue with Dabo or was upset that he was passed over for the HC gig.. not sure. Here’s a little read on that

he then bounced around and ended up at NC with Fedora and I think there was also some personal conflicts between the two. 

So fast forward...2015 NB was able to grab probably one of the best coordinators in the country who appears to be very happy in Troy, happy being a coordinator and obviously doing his thing! Hope we can keep him for years to come!

      We return the following guards: 5'9" So. Breanna Davis: Only played in 13 games (Daughter of Chris Davis) 5'8" So. Ereauna Hardaway: Started at PG. Good floor manager but doesn't score much. 5'8" R-Fr Desiree Wooten: Has the potential to be very good. 5'11" R-Fr Jahcelyn Hartfield: Only played in 7 games coming off an injured freshman year. 5'11" Fr. Shadasia Brackens: Played in 21 games. Incredible athlete that has the potential to be great. Brackens is listed as a G/F. Hartfield, with her height, could also play F. Brannon shot 40% from 3 this past year and provides experience this team needs since we lost Sham Duncan, J Moore, D Robinson and M Clearly from the backcourt.

      You are the exception to the rule. No judgment here but for 99% of people if they can 3x their income they are absolutely going to do it. Most younger folks in my profession will jump at even marginal increases. Some of these kids are not going to be playing professional football so if they can get a free education and pocket 100-300k with their degree then they are absolutely entitled and should be encouraged to do so.

      He couldn't crack the depth chart on a poor defense. I think he was told to look elsewhere.

      That's generally dependent upon my happiness. If I really like where I am at then I would see if my current employer would try to come close. If they could get somewhat close, I would stay. But I would at least give my employer the opportunity to match given my happiness level. What I would not do is jump on it with zero to minimal communication and thank god on twitter.
