Five things we learned from Charlton Warren’s first few days on the job

Newly-hired defensive coordinator Charlton Warren met Indiana’s players for the first time on Sunday. On Tuesday, his hiring was officially confirmed to the college football world, and on Wednesday the 44-year-old took time to answer questions about his new job, his new program and his attraction to IU.

Here are some of the things we learned:

His given name is Charlton Warren. His nickname is Mr. Intensity.

While playing football at Air Force Academy in the late 1990s, Warren was the recipient of that program’s “Mr. Intensity Award”, an annual honor given to the Falcons’ top performer in the weight room.
