West is the new OL coach. He is an experienced coach who was at Clemson for a few year.He has a lot of recruiting contacts too. He was chosen because we need an experienced coach for his position.

And he's an O-line coach for us? Seems like an odd transition, could be wrong though.

Guess we'll find out come spring. Maybe he can help pull a couple of recruits in for this NSD.

One thing is for sure. He can't be labeled a "belly flop" coach like all the CPJ haters love to call them.
I hope he brings some new ideas into the fold.

Looks like he has some ST experience in there too.
This may be an odd viewpoint to have, but I like his defensive experience. Who better to help teach offensive scheme than someone who knows intimately what those schemes are being designed to defeat?
My only question would be how old is he? Plenty of 60+ year olds can hang with the 18 year olds, but not all.

Without looking at the timeline, I wonder if he was at Baylor with McCollum.

Can't really get excited about a position coach but especially a coaching retread. My speculation is that this is just as much a defensive hire as it is an OL hire. Curious about his bandit position at linebacker.

"Ron West enters his second year as the Tar Heels' co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. West, who coached previously with Larry Fedora at Baylor and defensive coaches Vic Koenning, Dan Disch and Keith Gilmore at Illinois, came to Chapel Hill in 2013 after a year at Arizona State where he served as the Sun Devils' co-defensive coordinator.
Last season, West worked with Carolina's linebackers and bandits where he helped develop Norkeithus Otis into one of the team's top defensive playmakers.
A 1979 Clemson graduate, West was an assistant coach for 10 seasons (1999- 2008) with the Tigers where he worked with Koenning from 2005-08. Clemson won 76 games and played in nine bowl games during his tenure.
In 2012, Arizona State finished third in the country in pass defense, allowing just 167.9 yards per game, 10th in pass efficiency defense (105.5 rating) and was 27th overall in total defense (350.7 ypg). The Sun Devils led the nation in tackles for losses, ranked second in sacks and fourth in passes intercepted. Before West's arrival in Tempe, Arizona State was 91st in total defense, 59th in sacks and 57th in tackles for loss.
West helped develop linebacker Brandon Magee into a first-team All-Pac-12 performer. Magee led the team with 113 tackles, including 12.5 tackles for losses and 6.5 sacks.
West has more than 30 years of collegiate coaching experience, including 18 on defense and nine as a coor-dinator. He also has coached 16 years on the offensive side of the ball. West was the outside linebackers coach at Illinois from 2010-11. West spent the 2009 season as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Tulsa.
West implemented the Devil position at ASU, which is modeled after the bandit, a linebacker role that he had great success with in both the Big 10 and the ACC at Illinois and Clemson, respectively. His defenses at both universities recorded top-10 national finishes in total defense and enabled numerous players to garner both All-America and all-conference accolades, as well as find success in the professional ranks.
In 2011, the Fighting Illini finished seventh in the nation in total defense with West's linebackers helping to lead the charge, allowing just 286.15 total yards per game and holding its opponents to just 4.42 yards per play. Illinois was also third in passing yards allowed per game at 162.3 ypg and finished 26th in rushing yards allowed per game with 123.9 ypg.
Illinois bandit Michael Buchanan had a breakout 2011 season, registering 64 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks en route to second-team All-Big Ten honors. He ranked fifth in the Big Ten in sacks and eighth in TFLs.
In 2010, West guided Fighting Illini linebacker Nate Bussey to a seventh-round NFL Draft selection and All-Big Ten honorable mention recognition.
While on the defensive coaching staff at Clemson, where West coached the outside linebackers for five seasons, his defenses ranked in the top 25 in total defense three times. The 2004 defense ranked in the top-25 in all four major categories, including a top-10 finish in scoring defense and total defense, and his 2005 Tigers' defense finished among the top 25 in six defensive categories. Clemson's defense also placed 18th in total defense and 13th in scoring defense in 2008.
In 2006, West coached one of the greatest players in Clemson history, the late Gaines Adams, who excelled in the bandit system and became the No. 4 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft. Adams was named to all five All-America teams in 2006 and was recognized as one of seven unanimous first-team All-Americans that year. He started all 12 games that season, recording an ACC-best 12.5 sacks, causing two fumbles and recovering three. He finished his career with 28 total sacks to tie the school record set in 1984-87.
West began his stint on the Tigers' coaching staff as offensive line coach in 1999, and coached the offensive line for five seasons and spent the final five on the defensive side of the ball.
Before arriving at Clemson, West spent two years on Tommy Bowden's coaching staff at Tulane University (1997-98), where he coached the offensive line. In 1998, Tulane posted a 12-0 record as the offensive line helped pave the way for an offense to average over 300 passing yards and 200 rushing yards.
West began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at West Alabama in 1979. He was at East Carolina in the spring of 1980 and became the offensive line coach at North Texas for the 1980 season. In 1981, West joined the Texas Tech coaching staff as the offensive line coach and coached special teams. He served in that capacity for four years before moving to defense in 1985 as the assistant linebackers coach.
His next stop was at Louisiana-Lafayette where he spent seven seasons (1986-92) as defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach. West joined the Baylor coaching staff for four seasons (1993-96) as offensive line coach and served as the running game coordinator in his final year."

anyone else find it odd....
that he spent half his career as DC type
and half as a OL/OC type
and our two biggest issues are on D and OL???
LOL...maybe this says alot about the hire?
To me this is first an interesting hire, but secondly I truly wonder if he will participate in D and O? Almost like a hybrid staff consultant?

Interesting from the standpoint of when I was coming out HS in SC he was instrumental in getting some huge commits including 5* Ricky Sapp & Da'Quan Bowers and my 4* HS teammate. So he has some connections we may be able to leverage
