"From 2008 to 2016, Achuff served as the defensive line coach at Baylor University."

Does this mean every interview, Babers is going to be asked what this guy's role was in the crimes at Baylor?

Glad they made a quick hire here. Like seeing another coach with ties to the Northeast.
Looks like he has focused on coaching DL thus far. So has Coach Reynolds. He will have a lot of adjusting to do, moving from Arizona here, coaching LBs for the first time in years, and getting exposed to the 3-3-5. Welcome Coach!

As Babers said in his camp opening presser, good coaches can teach any position. If the outside LBs are going to be in more of a rushing role, this makes a lot of sense on the surface. I like it.
PA roots as well, which I really like for recruiting purposes.

Yeah, and Reynolds has had both the DL and LBs during the first two practices. There seems to be significant overlap, at least at this stage.
Love his energy and passion.
I like that we are getting a coach with recent nfl experience. It seems now the main concern with recruits (not all) is getting to the nfl. Even though he is not familiar with the 3-3-5 I read they ran the 3-4 in az so hopefully some similar principles.

Brentson Buckner to return to Arizona Cardinals as D-Line coach
The Arizona Cardinals appear to be bringing back former defensive line coach Brentson Buckner, who was recently let go by the Oakland Raiders.

Buckner replaces Chris Achuff, who was reportedly fired in December along with assistant special teams coach Randall McCray.

Would love to know backstory in how position was filled as you would think our new DC would have loved to have brought in a guy familiar with his system. Maybe he is. If not he will learn, just curious if options were slim there so in that case took the guy Dino knows and has good coaching experience. Either way, glad it's been filled.

That's a nice endorsement. I'm not sure how meaningful it really is, but at the very least it's good to hear.

My first thought was actually, "I wonder what Chandler thinks?" This was a positive endorsement. He could have kept it more low key but chose not to.

Exactly. He didn't have to say anything.
