I completely missed that Tyler Santucci left Tech and went to the Ravens.

He's done a lot of moving, Wake (2014-15), Texas State (2016), ND (2017), A&M (2018), Wake (2019), A&M (2020-22), Duke (2023), Tech (2024) and now, Baltimore (2025).

Just remember - aggy wanted him run out of CS on a rail, he didn't follow his boss back to aggy and now he's coaching in the NFL

That's the resume of an asshole.

It's the resume of an assistant coach following opportunity and using relationships.  When he showed up in San Marcos, I was less than impressed and wondered how this guy was even in coaching. Dude has moved up a level in school or coaching rank at most every stop and did pretty well as a DC his last 2 stops.

2014 - Elko was the DC at Wake Forest, and that's the key to most of his movement.  Mind you, he wasn't a position coach here, just an assistant/GA.
2016 - Withers is hired at TXST, and that staff was random af - you could tell he was pulling in guys from anywhere.  Santucci is done w/ GA, ready for a full time gig. 
2017 - Elko gets the DC job at ND, takes Santucci w/ him as an analyst because he's not ready to be a position coach at that level.
2018 - Elko gets the DC job at aTm, takes Santucci w/ him as an analyst because he's not ready to be a position coach at that level.
2019 - Lyle Hemphill gets the DC job at Wake.  Hemphill was the DC at Stonybrook in 2012-13, where Santucci was coaching S and DL under him.
2020 - Elko hires him as LB coach at aTm, gets promoted to Co-DC when Elko goes to Duke
2023 - Elko hires him as DC at Duke, and he actually does a pretty good job - 2ppg and 26 fewer yards per game than 2022
2024 - Pretty sure this is the 1st job he got w/o a relationship, and again, does a pretty good job - 4ppg and 95 fewer yards per game than 2023

I’m friends with his mom (no pictures) and she’s nice. Tyler has always been nice to me but, I have no idea how he is as a coach. I’m not saying we are good friends or anything but, I’ve never really heard a lot of people talking shit on him. I reckon he can’t be all bad.

I’d like to see Sark kick the tires on a former Kent State defensive back who went on to have a little coaching success. I hear he might be getting bored renting rooms out to weary travelers

Dabo Swinney reportedly adding head coaching veteran Mike Houston to staff

Doug Samuels     4 hours ago

Mike Houston had turned around programs a few programs before leading James Madison to the FCS national title in 2016.

However, in his sixth season at East Carolina, he was let go back in October after a 3-4 start.

He had led the Pirates to 7-5 and 8-5 seasons in 2021 and 2022, but ECU dropped to 2-10 in 2023 and the slow start to this past fall left decision makers wanting to go in a new direction.

Now he's set to land at Clemson, where Dabo Swinney continues to assemble an impressive array of talent to his support staff. 

ESPN shares that Houston is joining the staff to work on the defensive side of the ball.

Before head coaching stops at Lenoir-Rhyne (D-II -NC), The Citadel (FCS) and then James Madison and ECU, Houston spent a few seasons calling the defense at Lenoir-Rhyne before ascending to the head coaching job and also spent a season as a Division III defensive play caller at Brevard (D-III - NC).

His opportunity at the college level came after a decade of high school experience, first as the defensive coordinator at Forbush HS (NC) and then TC Roberson (NC) before becoming the head coach at TC Roberson from 2001-05.

He joins a support staff at Clemson, where Dabo has recently added an  NFL veteran talent evaluator in Kevin Kelly from the Chargers.
