That name is always mentioned here as the greatest what’s the reason he hasn’t gotten any looks just curious

I’ve met him twice. He’s a different guy that probably doesn’t relate well to many coaches. I don’t think he pursued anything when he was at LT. More like he just waited and Willie Fritz eventually came to him and then took him to Houston after Tulane.

I think Hester is a country boy too. Not that UH has tumbleweeds rolling through it.

But would welcome him in a heartbeat. Intense is an understatement. Has worked with Navy Seals as well.

He coached CBs his entire career. I bet we still hire a safeties coach.

Can someone explain to me why you would split a DB room with two coaches? Is that very common because I always thought one coach had the whole secondary but recently it seems all rooms are split.

I feel o like that would cause confusion. Are nfl rooms split?

Kurt Hester is a 🐐

Can’t believe he’s went this long in lower levels of college football.

Kurt is an OG. Brought up his name years ago as someone Miami should target. Very unorthodox with some of his methods but players seem to respond to him and his pluses test well even coming from small schools into the nfl.

He’s country and old school. He fits better down in Louisiana at a smaller school but his methods could absolutely work at a bigger program willing to go outside the box

Why would it cause confusion? If coaches are on the same page and techniques, keys, responsibilities, etc are consistent and embedded into a call then it should be coached and understood the same by coaches at every position on the defense.

CB is such a different position to coach than Safety.

They’ve been split in the NFL for a while. It became more common in College when they added the extra assistant slot. You either saw teams have 2 DL coaches, 2 LB coaches, 2 DB coaches, or a DC that didn’t have a position coach tag tied to the them.
