Texas Football: Grading Longhorns 2019 analyst hires
Two of the more significant names that showed up among the official announcements for the analysts was the son of the former North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Dillon Fedora. Dillon’s father Larry was a rising head coach in Chapel Hill, NC, for a while but that all came crashing down over the course of the past two years.
When Larry decided to make his way to the Forty Acres, his son Dillon elected to join him. Dillon Fedora was also an assistant on the UNC coaching staff while Larry was the head coach. This could turn into a nice developmental pairing among the analysts for Texas football. He is still very young and could have a long and promising road in front of him.
Texas seems like a fantastic spot to revive a coaching career right now. While Dillon doesn’t necessarily need a revival to his coaching career now, this is a solid springboard to take it to the next level. Since he comes from a long line of working with and playing for solid offenses, what he brings to the table could be unique and is mostly unknown.
Dillon has a pretty lengthy amount of playing and coaching experience in and around Big 12 programs and just teams with high-powered offenses in general. He both played for a was an assistant with the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, where he also got his college degree. He was a quality control coach with UNC and also played some of his college ball at Oklahoma State.
