This past season, he served as DL coach under Deion Sanders for the Colorado Buffaloes. Lewis made an immediate impact, as the team jumped from 66th to 9th nationally in sack percentage and from 95th to 37th in yards per rush against.

A 46-year-old native of Northeast Texas, Lewis played 141 games in the pros between the Rams, Panthers and Texans.

This is solid. Like the re-haul of the D

 

[TheU32]

NFL experience, Texas roots for recruiting, former cane.. not bad

Paranos approves!! This will help tremendously with big boy recruiting in the trenches with pulling UTR / and their families from the SEC foot print. He knows how to work with the knuckle head kids!!

Go Canes

All I know is that the Colorado DL looked light years better this year than it did last year. Now whether that was because of Lewis or Sapp or both I dont know..but I saw a huge improvement in that position group.

 

[kccanefan]

Colorado seemed like they played tougher on D this year compared to the season before. This is an upgrade to Coach Joe at bare minimum as I only saw him as Poly connection more so than a decent position coach.

This also means that we will have 3 participants of the ESPN THE U 30for30 on staff.

Nice.
