Christian Wilkins is one of the few guys on the team that was coached by both Marion Hobby and Dan Brooks. So when Clemson’s two former defensive line coaches decided to leave Clemson a week after the Tigers won the national championship, he admitted it was a little hard to except.
Hobby and Brooks were two of the more favorite coaches on the Clemson staff, and their players loved them and pretty much would do anything for them. Hobby of course left Clemson to be the new defensive ends coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Brooks retired after 40 years of coaching.
