New offensive line coach?

[FIUFootballFan]

I hear Leon Searcy (former Pittsburgh Steeler, Baltimore Raven) is taking over as the offensive line coach for the upcoming season.

I remember Leon and he was a great pro. If he is a good teacher and can translate some of his skills to our players then he will be a great addition to our staff.

From The Miami Herald dated August 10, 2004......

• Former NFL and University of Miami offensive lineman Leon Searcy was hired as assistant offensive line coach. Searcy, from Orlando Evans High School, also will help recruit in Central Florida.

''I was playing golf, doing nothing and getting fat,'' Searcy said. ``I love football, and I want to make these kids better men on and off the field.''

I guess you were right on target, FIUFootballFan!

Yes....but he's not replacing Steve Smith as the OL coach, he's going to be the assistant OL coach and help in recruiting as well....

Good hire!!
