Good for him. And us.

Hart's day will come, and he's probably destined for something bigger than RB coach. In the meantime, he's got some real talent to work with at IU. He can keep doing good things for us, further growing his reputation and value.

Great news!

I think it’s important to have some NFL experience on the staff, to help set expectations for guys who might go on to play on Sundays. Hope Hart sticks around.

I bet DeBoer is a future HC waiting to happen. Why not mentor Hart to be next IU OC while here? Win/win?

Yup, If he kills it here someone will come calling

I'm truly never against new, great opportunities to move up in life for anyone. Based on track record, I do believe DeBoer is going to do well at IU, which will (should at least) mean more W's and bowling, and he's a future D1 HC in the making.

That said, given Hart is a rising star, it would be great if DeBoer could basically work with all three (maybe not Hiller?) Offensive coaches, Hart/QB/Heard to help mentor them to the point IU could promote from within if he leaves for continuity and new opportunities to rise internally.
