New Tigers Def Coordinator (CVERNON.COM EXCLUSIVE)

There is a press conference at the University of Memphis on Thursday where they will announce who Tommy West has hired to be the new defensive coordinator. CVERNON.COM has learned that the man that will be introduced is Rick Kravitz, who was at NC State as the safties and special teams coach under Chuck Amato.

Kravitz is well-respected and seemingly has ties in the important state of Florida (formerly at USF), but he is not young (which does not take away from the hire at all, just not what we thought was going to happen).

Rick Kravitz will be the new defensive coordinator at Memphis. Announcement tomorrow.
