We saw it coming, so it isn’t the biggest surprise. With the second half of signing day passing, Renaldo Hill is heading to the NFL.
Hill, who played defensive back for the Dolphins from 2006 to 2008, has joined Miami’s coaching staff in an unspecified capacity.
…
He started 38 games during his time in Miami, picking off six passes and recording 152 tackles.
He joins Adam Gase’s revamped coaching staff, which has this offseason had changes at offensive coordinator, the offensive and defensive lines, running back and secondary.
Head Coach Pat Narduzzi tweeted it out yesterday.
Hill was quite good as Pitt’s secondary coach. He dealt with a slew of injuries and a lot of youth at the positions. Players developed and he was sought by several college programs after the season. Those he had rejected, but a chance to coach in the NFL was too good of an opportunity to reject.
Archie Collins hasn’t officially been named his replacement, but that is almost certainly going to happen soon.
Pitt still has the offensive line coach position to fill along with that unknown 10th assistant position. With signing day complete, Pitt will probably get both spots filled in a week.
(And yes, I know Pitt basketball lost again. Just getting repetitive, isn’t it?)
