I know I speculated on this potential hire a few weeks ago and it appears that I was onto something. I'm hearing that in the next couple of days the Cyclones will name Colby Kratch as the new linebackers coach. It was a move that made a lot of sense from the very start, as Kratch worked his way up the ranks in Ames before getting his break as a full time position coach at North Texas. I think it's a good move for CMC and Jon Heacock, who I'm hearing will be in place for at least the next couple seasons to have a familiar face back in Ames who knows the defense in and out.
