Northern Illinois: Sources tell us that Alabama defensive quality control coach Kelvin Sigler has joined the staff and will coach the defensive backs.

Interesting that this is the first article when you google him...

With out a doubt this ensures future recruiting ties in Alabama. Probably won't do anything for us in Florida.

Would be good if someone on the board could list out all the coaches and the recruiting areas each one has ties to and is responsible for. Do we even have anyone in South Florida (Miami area) at this point? or is it just the Panhandle and Tampa areas?

Anybody who comes from Alabama is a good hire in my book.

He coached HS football in the Mobile area. NIU has found some success recruiting Mobile the last couple years, so could give us another boost down there.

Dierson, the new recruiting coordinator.

Considering Kane was the one who got Robert Jones, he has to have Miami ties.

Even Mike Shula?

I like any hire that has ties to the south.
