About Shaun nua
Young man going West. [Patrick Barron] Seth January 5th, 2022 at 9:33 AM As broken this morning by Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports and confirmed by Steve Lorenz and Josh Henschke, it appears DL coach Shaun Nua will accept the same job at USC. Nua took some heat for the state of the DTs under Don Brown but emphatically turned that around in the last year, both on the recruiting trail and in the development of Mazi Smith, Chris Hinton, Donovan Jeter, and Kris Jenkins.Off-field analyst Ryan Osborn, who’s been heavily involved with the defensive ends over the course of the development of Kwity Paye, Aidan Hutchinson, and David Ojabo, would seem like a logical replacement. While losing a well-liked and respected position coach to a lateral move isn’t great, having a ready replacement on hand makes it an easier pill to swallow.It’s probably more surprising that the staff has remained mostly intact this offseason after the year they all had. Michigan managed to sweat out the coaching carousel without losing Broyles winner Josh Gattis, Special Teams Coordinator of the Year Jay Harbaugh, or Sherrone Moore, position coach of the Joe Moore Award finalist offensive line. The insider sites also think National Coach of the Year Jim Harbaugh may be close to signing an extension($).

We have put together a defensive staff that is second to none. We’re ready to get to work.” USC’s announcement also confirms that Shaun Nua will remain on staff as the lone holdover from the previous defensive regime, moving from defensive line coach to defensive ends coach.The full defensive staff is defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn (previously in the same role at UCLA), assistant head coach for defense/linebackers coach Matt Entz (previously the head coach at North Dakota State, secondary coach Doug Belk (previously the DC at Houston), Henderson and Nua. Lynn is expected to coach the safeties with Belk focusing on the cornerbacks.Henderson coached star defensive tackle Aaron Donald with the Rams.
