Seems like a decent resume. Should help in our West Coast and Hawaii recruiting efforts if he is indeed hired. 

 
I don't know anything about Tuioti, but I remember in the not-so-distant past hearing about Tim DeRuyter when he was on TAMU's staff. From what I remember he was a darn good defensive mind with quite a bit of experience. DeRuyter has been Tui's  d-coordinator

 
Was making $265,000 at Cal.  I'm sure he will get a nice raise for coming here.  

He was put in charge of recruiting while at Michigan in 2016.  He had a big hand in landing a lot of that class that finished 3rd.

 Not only coaching with DeRuyter but having Justin Wilcox as the HC isn't bad either.   Both are very good 3-4 coaches.
