Harbison in at DC, Woody McCorvey being interviewed
Via Media Relations
Coach Croom held a press conference today to officially announce that assistant coach Charlie Harbison has been promoted to the defensive coordinator position. He also announced that Louis Campbell had been hired as the new linebackers coach.
“In choosing Charlie Harbison to be our defensive coordinator, I wanted to maintain the continuity of play by our defense, particularly from this past year,” Croom said. “Any of our defensive coaches – David Turner, Melvin Smith or Charlie – would have been a good choice for defensive coordinator. In fact, I would have no problem recommending any of the three for a defensive coordinator position.
“Charlie did an outstanding job this season with our safeties, particularly Derek Pegues and Keith Fitzhugh,” Croom said. “Charlie has experience in both pass coverage and run fits, and he was a key part of our defense down the stretch. He has vast knowledge of our whole defense, and is an excellent teacher.”
In a bit of a surprise announcement, Croom also said that he had been contacted by another school about interviewing current offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey for a head coaching position. The name of the school was not announced.
Here is the official release from the MSU Athletic Department.
