Former UA football player Ricky Hunley, left, has coached at various levels, the last two years at Memphis, where he coached linebackers. The teams went 19-6 in those two seasons.
After coaching at USC, Florida, Missouri and with the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders, Ricky Hunley relocated to Tennessee in 2014 and coached linebackers for the Memphis Tigers.
What came next was one of the most uplifting saga’s in Hunley’s long career: the Tigers went 10-3 last year and 9-3 this year. They spent time in the Top 25.
“We didn’t do this with 4-star and 5-star recruits,” Hunley said last week.
