Not surprisingly, new Buffalo coach Jeff Quinn is taking several former Cincinnati assistants with him.
Quinn, who was the Bearcats' offensive line coach/offensive coordinator, before serving as the interim head coach for the Allstate Sugar Bowl, has hired Greg Forest and William Inge off this year's Cincinnati staff. Also joining the Bulls are Mike Daniels, Ernest Jones and Marty Spieler, all of whom worked for the Bearcats in administrative roles.
Brian Kelly has taken four of his former assistants -- Bob Diaco, Charley Molnar, Mike Elston and Tim Hinton -- with him to Notre Dame. The only holdover Bearcats assistant is defensive backs coach Kerry Coombs.
So now all we need is for Butch Jones to announce his staff, and the cycle will be complete.
