New Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther climbed coaching ladder

Paul Guenther has been coordinating defenses since he still played in one.

So says Dan Mullen, current head coach at the University of Florida and a former college teammate of Guenther at Division III Ursinus College. Mullen was an all-conference tight end at Ursinus. Guenther was a linebacker who set the school record for tackles.

“I remember there were times he’d call his own defense out there,” Mullen said last week. “He would just check into different defenses because he was like, ‘This is what they’re going to run, this is the defense we want to run against it.
