New Indiana head coach Mike Woodson had three countable coaching positions to fill on his staff following his hiring on March 28.
Two and a half weeks into his tenure, all three spots have been addressed.
Kenya Hunter, a holdover from former coach Archie Miller’s staff, was first. Dane Fife, a former Hoosier guard and longtime Michigan State assistant, was second. And now, Woodson is turning to former Alabama assistant Yasir Rosemond for the third job.
Indiana made Rosemond’s hiring official on Wednesday, bringing Woodson’s bench staff whole. The 43-year-old Rosemond, who has not coached in college since 2019 when the Crimson Tide fired former head coach Avery Johnson, has also had stints at Georgia (2014-17), Samford (2012-14), Seattle (2010-11), Oregon (2006-2010) and Redlands Community College (2005-06).

The Green Bay Packers’ defensive line simply was not good enough in 2020. Not even close. In 2019, Kenny Clark made the Pro Bowl following a season highlighted by six sacks, nine tackles for losses and seven quarterback hits. In 2020, Clark, Dean Lowry and Tyler Lancaster combined for five sacks, five tackles for losses and 10 quarterback hits.
According to Pro Football Focus, Clark had 62 quarterback pressures in 2019. All nine defensive linemen to get playing time in 2020 recorded 77 pressures, led by Clark plunging to 28. Kingsley Keke showed some promise but all four sacks, all three tackles for losses and half of his eight quarterback hits came in two games. Montravius Adams, a third-round flop, signed with New England in free agency. With that, the Packers could use another impact defensive lineman. Unfortunately, it is a paper-thin draft class.
