The Mike Pelton Reaction

Today Auburn announced the hiring of Mike Pelton as Defensive Line Coach.  The former ALL-SEC tackle will be replacing Tracy Rocker.  While Coach Pelton has big shoes to fill (literally),  he has inherited a goldmine.  His arsenal will include sophomores Sanders, Eguae, Whitaker, Carter, and Lemonier who all saw valuable playing time as freshmen.  Add to that the star studded class of incoming freshman and he has the building blocks for success.   Pelton is no stranger to talent.  He has coached All-Pro defensive players Demarcus Ware and Osi Umenyiora.  He brings with him some recruiting lines developed during his six year stint at Troy.  I am expecting big things from Coach Pelton.  After all he is an Auburn Man!  Welcome Aboard Coach Pelton.
