Southern Miss: Former North Carolina defensive coordinator Dan Disch will join the Southern Miss staff, according to the Hattiesburg American. Disch was out of coaching in 2015 and was the co-defensive coordinator at Southern Miss in 2011.
Dan Disch is from Jacksonville, FL. His late father-in-law (Ellis "The Jet" Johnson) was my HS coach. His brother was on the same staff w/ Coach Johnson and their father, the late Jerry Disch, was the Duval County High Schools Director of Athletics.
Dan Disch was the head coach at Ed White HS in Jacksonville and was hired as DB coach by Ron Zook at Florida (it was a poor hire as Disch had no college coaching experience). After Zook was fired and got the Illinois job Dan Disch followed and coached at Illinois until Zook got fired. He then hooked up w/ Larry Fedora at Southern Miss and then UNC (he and Fedora were on Zook's UF staff together). He's moved a lot, but has had a pretty good college coaching career since 2004 (his first season at UF). I'm sure he's made 3-4 times what he would have made if he stayed in the HS ranks...but the moving has to suck.
