Some number of pages back I suggested that ND make a call to Codlin to bring gim back as a full time assistant. By all accounts Mickens loved him, the players on the team respected him and apparently, he's an elite recruiter. "J-Cod" was often on the road with the staff and was a huge part of the elite DB haul Mickens landed in the 2026 class.
Already knows Ash's system, the players in the unit he'll be coaching and the guys that ND is recruiting in the 2027 and 2028 classes. Really nice hire for transitional stability between Mickens and Henry.
DC Chris Ash
DL Charlie Patridge
LB Brian Jean-Mary
CB Aaron Henry
S Jevaughn Codlin
They have to put it all together and work well as a group, but that has the makings of an elite defensive staff. Hopefully it doesn't take them long to gel.
