Historic College Football Program Lands Former National Championship Coach
Historic College Football Program Lands Former National Championship Coach originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tennessee Volunteers made an addition to their coaching staff Monday. CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported the Volunteers hired defensive assistant coach Marion Hobby. Advertisement An ex-Tennessee first-team All-SEC player, Hobby will serve as a defensive analyst for the Volunteers. "Hobby, a former All-SEC player at Tennessee, has coached in four NFL conference championship games (Saints, Jaguars, Bengals 2x) and a Super Bowl," Zenitz posted on X. "Hobby was also part of Clemson's 2016 national championship team." Hobby spent the past four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals as their defensive line coach. The longtime assist had been an NFL defensive line coach since 2017. From 2017-18, he coached the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line. Before joining the Bengals, Hobby coached for the Miami Dolphins from 2019-20. New Tennessee Volunteers defensive assistant Marion Hobby© Albert Cesare-Imagn Images Hobby played defensive end at Tennessee in the late 1980s. The Minnesota Vikings drafted him at No. 74 overall during the third round of the 1990 NFL Draft. Advertisement Hobby never appeared in a game for the Vikings, but he played 42 contests for the New England Patriots. The defensive end began his coaching career as a strength and conditioning coach for the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks in 1995. Hobby was an assistant strength and conditioning coach with Tennessee's 1998 national championship team. He received his first opportunity to coach a defensive line unit with the Ole Miss Rebels in 1999. Hobby coached at Ole Miss for five years and then spent one season with the Clemson Tigers before jumping to the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. After two seasons with the Saints, Hobby returned to the college ranks with the Duke Blue Devils. He then became co-defensive coordinator at Clemson from 2011-16 before going back to the NFL. Advertisement Clearly, Hobby will bring decades of experience to the Tennessee defensive staff. "The Volunteers are hoping to get back to the College Football Playoff, and adding an experienced coach who knows what it takes to succeed in Knoxville is a huge move," wrote On3's Steve Samra.

49ers believe Bryce Huff, ‘speed demon' with an undrafted motor, can be next Dee Ford
Prior to Bryce Huff's 10-sack breakthrough with the New York Jets in 2023, he played well into fourth quarters during the preseason. In 2022, the Jets added multiple free agents and rookies at his position. And ahead of the 2021 season, Huff added 20-plus pounds of muscle just to secure his roster spot as a defensive end after entering the league in 2020 as a linebacker. Robert Saleh, his head coach and defensive coordinator in New York, never saw Huff discouraged. He gladly played every preseason snap he could get in Year 4 as if he were still an undrafted rookie: 'If (Saleh) thinks I need to get these reps, I'm going to go out there and get these reps. I just keep it pushing.' Often overlooked, Huff never let his ego stop him from earning his keep, which turned into the largest contract signed by an undrafted non-quarterback in NFL history. The Eagles made him a $51 million man and also tried to turn the pass-rushing specialist into a stand-up linebacker, before opting to trade him one year into his three-year deal. The San Francisco 49ers — with Saleh back in place as defensive coordinator — were eager to pick up the pieces. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Huff has the fastest get-off of any defensive end they've had since Dee Ford. 'The player didn't change,' Shanahan said of Huff's rough stint in Philadelphia, in which he collected 2.5 sacks. 'He just didn't fit as well in their scheme. … Their outside guys drop into coverage, being in a 3-4 base, and that's something we really never do.' Huff played only 12 games and started six in his lone season with the Eagles, who won him a Super Bowl ring without his help. He fully expected to be traded this offseason, and now he's back with the coach who recognized his potential. Years before Huff joined the double-digit sacks club, Saleh told him upon taking over as Jets head coach in 2021 that he would only make the team as an edge rusher. Huff originally joined the organization as an outside linebacker, the position he played for 14 games in the final year of the Adam Gase era. But he didn't hesitate to adapt. And he really couldn't afford not to, as an unproven second-year player. In one offseason, Saleh saw Huff add more than 20 pounds of muscle to his 6-foot-3 frame. Then they turned on tape of Ford, whose six sacks complemented Nick Bosa during his Defensive Rookie of the Year campaign. The 49ers made the Super Bowl that year. 'We did watch a lot of Dee Ford film in my earlier years in (Saleh's) scheme,' Huff said. 'He's definitely a guy I've watched a long time. … We have the same type of stride and that's just something that (Saleh) showed me so I could work on my timing with some of my moves.' Having watched Huff the last couple of weeks in practices, All-Pro offensive tackle Trent Williams called him 'a speed demon off the edge' capable of being the bookend to Bosa that has eluded the 49ers since injuries escorted Ford into retirement. 'That guy that is going to require a running back or a chip opposite of Nick,' Williams said of the attention Huff will draw. 'He adds that Dee Ford effect they had in '19 that took them to the Super Bowl. One of the reasons we had a really, really good defense for those couple years is having that guy who can actually make that quarterback step up by getting a good jump off the ball and being able to bend the edge.' Only so much can be gleaned from practices without pads. Huff, a full participant at the 49ers' mandatory minicamp this week, still ended every snap by sprinting to the ball. Defensive line coach Kris Kocurek expects as much of all players in his room. It's nothing new for Huff, who has long known that stopping short of the whistle could be the difference between a sack or a completion, an open-field tackle or a touchdown. Saleh described him as a 'second-effort pass rusher.' All 32 NFL teams selected 255 players instead of Huff in the 2020 draft. His second effort got him through the door as a 'self-made man,' in Kocurek's words. Huff didn't have much to say about his Eagles setback, apart from his excitement to 'get after the quarterback' all the same. 'He just kept going and going and going, and really just kicked the door down and made it,' Saleh said.

Trent Williams Has Strong Words Amid Retirement Speculation
Trent Williams Has Strong Words Amid Retirement Speculation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Trent Williams has anchored the left side of the San Francisco 49er's offensive line since being acquired in 2020, and at 36 years old, speculation around his future remain intact. The three-time First-Team All-Pro remains one of the league's highest-graded offensive tackles, earning an 85.6 overall grade from Pro Football Focus in 2024 — sixth amongst offensive tackles. Advertisement Originally selected fourth overall in the 2010 NFL Draft by Washington, Williams has played 14 NFL seasons, the last five with the San Francisco 49ers in which he's led an offensive line that carried the team to multiple Super Bowl appearances. He started 10 games for the 49ers in the 2024 regular season, yet the 49ers season still ended in disappointment. After finishing with a 6-11 record gifting them the eleventh overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, rumors began to circulate of Williams' replacement being selected. San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports The veteran left tackle addressed the growing retirement chatter this week, along with his commitment to playing in the NFL long-term. 'I'm definitely not going to retire with something left in the tank,' Williams said. Williams also noted that when the time does come to step away, he plans to give the 49ers' front office advance notice to ensure they have time to prepare for his replacement. Advertisement In addition to protecting Brock Purdy's blind side, he's a vocal leader and locker room cornerstone in Kyle Shanahan's offense. As the 49ers reload for another Super Bowl run, Williams' words reinforce a clear message — he's not done.
