After one season in Minneapolis, Linguist joined Mike Elko and Jimbo Fisher with Texas A&M, where he coached the Aggies’ cornerbacks for two seasons. Linguist spent the 2017 season in Big Ten country coaching Minnesota’s defensive backs under first-year head coach P.J. Linguist had not yet coached a game at Michigan, as he was hired in January of 2021 to help replace Don Brown, who was fired after five seasons with the program under head coach Jim Harbaugh. Before arriving at Kentucky, Clinkscale was defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator at Cincinnati from 2013-15. Clinkscale has Big Ten experience, having served as cornerbacks coach at Illinois in 2012. Webb wrote that Kentucky defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale would be an ideal fit to lead the Wolverines’ defensive secondary.Ĭlinkscale, whom Webb reported had previously been under consideration for Michigan’s staff, has been at Kentucky under head coach Mark Stoops since 2016 and was recently elevated to defensive passing game coordinator for the upcoming season. Sam Webb of Michigan Insider reported that a name has already emerged as a potential frontrunner for Linguist’s replacement. Linguist replaces Lance Leipold, who d eparted to take over the Kansas football program last month. Hopefully, the results will show.Michigan co-defensive coordinator Maurice Linguist was named the new head football coach at Buffalo, the school announced Friday evening. Still it’s good to hear that turnovers are going to be addressed and made an emphasis. Of course, in the offseason there is always talk, and with a new coaching staff you’ll get even more talk the proof is want happens starting in September. It looks like the new coaching staff will put an emphasis on turnovers and talks more about being an aggressive defense that is going to attack.

The Cowboys have recently been known as a bend-don’t-break type of defense and one that was, unfortunately, not very good at creating turnovers. So that’s going to be a big piece on how we build our unit on the back end.” So it’s something we’re not only make an emphasis, but you’re going to have to drill, it has to consume you, you have to be obsessed with it. In order for us to do what we came here to do, a big piece of that is our ability to be disruptive at the point of attack and getting the ball back. Obviously the ball is going to be of great emphasis as we build our entire package, our entire scheme. Your identity is tied to who you consistently are and what you consistently do. What’s going to be our mindset? Ultimately we are in the initial stages of forming what our identity is going to be. “It’s something we talk about everything begins with a mental approach, an emphasis on our mental approach. On getting more interceptions with the Cowboys: At all 11 positions if you are looking at an elite defensive player, you want somebody who can be aggressive to the ball and go make plays on the ball.” It’s about your ability to be a ball disruptive player. I think a lot of defensive football is about attacking the football. You want guys who can separate, whether its a running back or receiver, from the ball. I mean obviously you want guys who can affect the ball. When asked what kind of safeties he wants, Linguist replied: Considering Linguist is a former safety, and Harris is a former cornerback, this division of labor makes sense. The first bit of news gleaned from the Linguist interview is that he will primarily spend his time with the safeties and the slot corners while another new hire, Al Harris, will spend most of his time working with the outside corners. Additionally, Linguist is a Dallas native so this is a homecoming for him. He was also a safety in college at Baylor. Linguist has coached all over the place at college programs with his most recent stint at Texas A&M. Linguist was interviewed recently, and before getting into the ballhawk conversation, he noted that Mike Nolan was the guy that invited him to come to Dallas and talk about coaching the Cowboys secondary. That seems to be a trend as defensive coordinator Mike Nolan also stated that he wants secondary players and can make plays on the ball and create turnovers. That’s the first word that came out of the mouth of new Cowboys secondary coach Maurice Linguist when asked what he wants in a safety.
