South Carolina's board of trustees will hold an open session tomorrow at 2 p.m. for "Approval of Contract for Assistant Football Coach," per USC's website. Gamecocks are obviously replacing LBs/DEs coach Mike Peterson, who is now coaching OLBs at Florida.

"Sterling Lucas joined the Jaguars as an assistant defensive line coach on Feb. 11, 2021 after spending five seasons (2016-20) working with the Baltimore Ravens.

Lucas began his tenure in Baltimore in 2016 and held various roles on the defensive side of the ball until 2020, when Lucas worked with the defensive line under current Jaguars Defensive Coordinator Joe Cullen. While Lucas was in Baltimore (2016-20), the Ravens led the NFL in total defense (314.1 yards per game allowed), allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game (97.1) and produced the third-most takeaways (126). Lucas worked closely with several Pro Bowl players while in Baltimore, including DL Calais Campbell (2020), OLB Matthew Judon (2019 and 2020) and LB C.J. Mosley (2017 and 2018).

In 2020, Lucas helped the Ravens advance to the AFC Divisional found as their defense allowed the second-fewest points (18.9) and seventh-fewest yards (329.8) per game in the NFL. Lucas was promoted from defensive quality control coach to defensive assistant/linebackers coach in 2019 and assisted with the team's linebackers, which helped the team allow the NFL's third-fewest points per game (17.6) and the fourth-fewest yards per game (300.6). Baltimore earned a franchise-best 14-2 record and its second-straight AFC North title.

In 2018, Lucas worked with the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense (292.2 yards per game allowed), which permitted the league's second-fewest points per games (17.9). He served as an administrative assistant for the defense in 2017, helping Baltimore post NFL bests in takeaways (34), INTs (22) and shutouts (three). He originally joined the team in 2016 working on the defensive side of the ball, while also assisting the strength and conditioning staff."

He worked for John Harbaugh for five seasons.  That's good enough for me if he is indeed the guy.

Can you imagine going from John Harbaugh to the poop show that happened this season with Meyer?

He's probably looking for a decent guy like Shane and Harbaugh to work for again.

Yes, Blitzy is right, Lucas is the hire. Regarded as a top-notch evaluator and teacher. Make no mistake, he is being brought in to develop our DL talent and improve their play first and foremost. Almost all his significant coaching time has been in the pros, and recruiting will be a new challenge for him - but the thinking is that being a SC native (O'burg, IIRC) nd being an incredible communicator, he will excel there as well. Personally I think it's a great hire. I was hoping for Travian Robertson but you can't argue with Lucas' bonafides. Shane recruited him to come here under SOS but he went to NC State.

Did you mean DL talent?
