O-Line analyst Kyle DeVan now O-Line coach at Colorado

From December 21, but hadn't seen it posted.

With success comes coaching attrition, but after years waiting for an O-Line like this, still makes me skittish.

FTA and from the Colorado press release:

"DeVan, 36, comes to Colorado from the University of Michigan, where he was an offensive analyst this fall, working particularly with the offensive line. He helped create weekly game plans for the run game, protection plans in the passing game, and worked with the coaches on game day field adjustments. He will join CU in January following the No. 3 Wolverines run in the College Football Playoff, with UM set to play Georgia in a semifinal on New Year’s Eve."

Congrats to him on the promotion.  Hopefully, the Joe Moore award got him a few extra dollars, too!

A strong analyst program is something that Saban has relied on for a long time - I hope JH can continue finding such gems...

The notoriety which makes our analysts attractive to programs in need also makes us attractive to the next wave of coaching talent.  When a door closes, a window opens.  It’s how the big boys work.

Analysts are just another way to expand the coaching tree and give you more properly vetted options in future coaching searches. Hopefully he is very successful and wants to come back the next time we need an OL coach!
