Miami made it official and kept it in the family today hiring former linebacker Michael Barrow as it’s new linebacker coach today. Barrow was a second round Draft pick of the Houston Oilers in 1993 and spent thirteen season in the NFL before hanging it up two seasons ago due to a knee injury. He spent the 2006 season as an assistant coach back at Homestead High.
Also, as expected,Randy Shannon promoted defensive backs coach Tim Walton to defensive coordinator. Rumors were flying weeks back that Walton had already moved into Shannon’s office, but nothing was made official until today.
More coming later on both hires, but for now, welcome back Mike and congrats Tim.
