Cory Hall, who spent the past two seasons coaching cornerbacks at Oregon State, joined the Central Michigan football team as the secondary coach and defensive pass game coordinator last week.
Hall's name came up frequently in CMU coach John Bonamego's search for the opening, and he remembers Hall when he was a defensive back in the NFL.
"We brought Cory in, and he made a presentation to the defensive coaching staff," Bonamego said. "(Defensive coordinator) Greg Colby and the rest of us were impressed with his preparation and what he had to say.
