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.

Rodeo ministry offers midday message amid the competition hustle
KTAB/KRBC coverage of the 2025 Texas High School Rodeo Finals is sponsored locally by Capital Farm Credit ABILENE, Texas () – In rodeo culture, it is customary to have a church service, most of which are held early in the morning before competition starts. However, with the compact schedule at the Texas High School Rodeo Finals, one group is catering to the schedule during the lunch hour with rodeo professionals for inspiration. 'Definitely a first' Texas high school rodeo competitors shelter through Sunday storms It is a serene space to escape from the chaos that's outside, something rodeo professional Trey Johnson knows all too well. Johnson said he remembers his old high school competition days. 'When you're competing the same day, you only have a couple of hours to go and eat a meal, get back, and then you've got to prepare again,' Johnson recalled. 'When I was in high school, there weren't very many people who would show up. Usually, it was early in the morning, like 7:00, 7:30 in the morning.' With the small window of time that contestants sometimes face, Crossroads Rodeo Ministries is offering a compromise: a good meal and something that is deeply rooted in rodeo culture – church. Founder Robert Till said that most of the time, contestants do not realize just how significant the church's influence is. 'There are 60 church services going on and 60 [rodeo competitions], they think, in their region. 'I go to my next rodeo and there will be a church service there,' but nobody's thinking how big this thing is,' Till said. 'It's different than the pressure in the arena. They were fishing for words, I just said an oasis. And they said, yes, it's just a place where they can come and let down, which for us makes them open. They hear the message.' Texas teen follows in sister's footsteps on Day 1 of State High School Rodeo Finals Johnson attended services all the time growing up in the competitive environment, but he said it wasn't until his adult life that he took them seriously. 'I had a car accident; I woke up and was going 70 miles an hour on a four-way highway with a truck and a horse trailer. It jumped a water corridor,' Johnson said. 'That night in that upside-down horse trailer, I just made a decision. I just want to know God, I don't want to be religious. I don't want to know just church.' Gunner Link was born with just one hand, but that isn't slowing him down Now, he and Till bring in big names in the rodeo world to help inspire competitors during their small break from the competition. Johnson said they cater to the lunch hour, one of the only times competitors can get a break. 'It lets you kind of stay. You can let down your guard, eat lunch, learn something, but then you dial back in and you're ready. You don't feel like you're rushing or behind the ball,' Johnson said. A pillar of competition continues to be a place of recharge. The group will tie up their services tomorrow. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
