Per numerous tweets, it sounds like Seth Littrell has his man for the the Defensive Line Coach position -- Derrick LeBlanc.  LeBlanc was previously at Pearl River CC but has also coached at Southern Miss and Wyoming for the same position and at LSU as Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coordinator. https://twitter.com/ThayerEvansSI/status/692711588634034177?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/TexasInsiders/status/692711975680286720 https://twitter.com/brettvito/status/692724935085596672 This hire will complete the staff for Seth Littrell with National Signing Day just around the corner on Wednesday, February 3rd.
