Daily News | Everett Withers returns to Temple football as new defensive coordinator
Withers, who
to become Florida Atlantic’s assistant head coach and defensive passing game coordinator is making a return after the Owls lost defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot on March 9. Eliot joined the Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff as its new linebackers coach.Withers was with Temple last season as head coach Stan Drayton’s chief of staff, filling in for a sick Drayton as the Owls’ head coach in an Oct. 29 overtime loss at Navy. Last Thursday, Temple added Marcus Berry as its new chief of staff.
Prior to that job, Berry was the director of player personnel at Rutgers, Illinois, and North Carolina. This will be Berry’s second stint at Temple as he was the Owls’ running backs coach from 2007-14 where he coached Super Bowl champion running back Bernard Pierce. Berry previously worked with Temple head coach Stan Drayton on the Green Bay Packers staff in 2003 and is a fellow Cleveland native.
As for a big reason behind the return of Withers, Drayton said he wanted to hire a new defensive coordinator before the end of spring camp, preferably one familiar with Eliot’s system to prevent issues with the installation of Temple’s playbook.
