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).
