This "Miami Bros" took over what was a mediocre CU DLine (in 2023) and made it better this past season. This said "Bro" not only was a star at UM, but was a solid NFL player and even coached a little at that level under Pete Carroll.
Of course this was a "Mario hire" insofar as the connection is concerned.
Good for Mario and Damione and even better for Hetherman having a HC providing him his rolodex, potentially expanding his coaching tree, especially since his DL coach at UofMinnesota recently bolted to the NFL.
One more thing, Damione has ties to Texas and that won't hurt.
Not sure this "Miami Bro" stuff applies to this hire.
