It seems only natural that the FIU Panthers football team has replaced Kenny Holmes with Kenard Lang as defensive line coach.
Both were star defensive ends with the Miami Hurricanes, both were NFL first-round picks, and both played high school football in Florida — Holmes, 45, at Vero Beach; and Lang, 44, at Orlando Evans.
“It’s bittersweet,” Lang said about replacing Holmes. “Kenny is back home taking care of his local businesses. He’s an entrepreneur. He was my roommate in college and still one of my best friends.”
Lang played a decade in the NFL, picking up 50 sacks and forcing 15 fumbles in 153 games.
