Staff Updates for 2026

[Lobot]

I don't think Mickens would come to UC from ND unless it was a substantial "promotion," i.e. defensive coordinator. Otherwise, why leave a top program for a lateral move?

He's not coming here for DBs, I can tell you that. He makes as much as some DC's in his current position at ND. Making a lateral move back here would be financially stupid for him. Would he come here as a DC? Maybe, maybe not. We'd have to open the wallet to get him here and he's unproven as a DC.
