Per CBS Sports, Miami is targeting Houston's Zac Etheridge for its DB coach position.

In 2024, Houston ranked 22nd nationally in passing yards allowed against FBS opponents. Houston's 2,266 passing yards allowed were its fewest in a full season in 30 years. Just yesterday, Etheridge had been promoted to defensive pass game coordinator for the Cougars.

Etheridge was previously a finalist for the Louisiana-Monroe head coaching job. At Auburn, he coached three players this year who earned Senior Bowl invites and as well as 2022 second-round pick Roger McCreary.

Etheridge is a Troy, Alabama native who was a team captain on Auburn’s 2010 national championship team. He spent three seasons (2021-23) as the Tigers' Secondary Coach. In February 2022, he was promoted to Associate Head Coach. He also spent time at Louisiana (CB coach) and Western Carolina (CB/OLB coach).

Tweet detailing Etheridge's responsibilities on the UM staff. Nothing earth-shattering.

As in a DB coach? Or DBs coach officially?

Let's hope Etheridge and Hetherman mesh well.

Curious these last 2 spots. I have to assume it’s a LB coach and DT coach. If he got that title.

Apologizing in advance because I know how the board reacts both extremes when certain names are brought up…But what about Etheridge Safety (and authority over whole secondary), and DVD corners?

Has DVD proven to be a good CB's Coach?

USF finished 133 out of 134 teams in opponent passing yards per game. DVD can stay in Tampa lol

Has Sammy Joseph? He's coached corners one season in the Sun Belt.

Bruh why are yall so caught up on DVD or any of these past names from the last 10+ years.

skeeter said:
I'm not…Not at all.

Who is "y'all"

And I'm not even advocating DVD

Memnon said:
Then why'd you bring him up?

skeeter said:
Lol…Why is that important? And why would you doubt me when I tell you I'm not advocating him? Like I was and then just lied and said I'm not…My god weird *** crowd here.

I honestly could care less about DVD…We made a good DB coach hire with Etheridge and working under Etheridge it occurred to me DVD name used to get mentioned a lot by local recruits and maybe he's more seasoned now. Maybe you made a good find with Joseph, maybe someone to keep an eye on.

Reminds me of one of my favorite chappelle show moments.
