I know I had done research on this guy, but somehow I missed this key part of the puzzle: As defensive coordinator for KSU... "Burton's defense at Kennesaw State allowed just 17.9 points and 308.2 yards per game in 2023, the ninth and 15th best marks, respectively, at the FCS level. The Owls were stout in both facets of their defense, holding opponents to 118.8 rushing yards and 189.4 passing yards per game.Secondary Coach in the USFL... "Burton spent the 2022 season as the secondary coach for the New Orleans Breakers of the United States Football League. With the Breakers, the Lilburn, Ga., native served as the secondary coach for a defense that led the league in fewest points per game (16.4), passing yards allowed per game (163.9) and red zone defense (38.5 percent)."At Georgia Tech (Co-DC)... "Before his stint in the USFL, Burton was the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach at his alma mater, Georgia Tech, for two seasons (2020-21). In his first season, the Yellow Jackets ranked in the top 25 nationally in red zone defense and were among the nation's top 40 in pass defense."DC at the DII level... "Burton’s West Alabama defense led the Gulf South Conference (GSC) in rushing defense (2015) and ranked first in total defense, pass defense and interceptions in 2014. While coaching at Shorter, he coordinated the GSC’s No. 2-ranked defense and led the Hawks to a winning record in their transitional season from NAIA to Division II."I'm really jazzed about this. Looks like a great hire. troytrojans.com/news/2024/1/4/troy-football-adds-nathan-burton-as-co-defensive-coordinator?fbclid=IwAR2wvD9M62g0Rs82rDtt2U3bq4S3-yRz_NNIRJMQr-YME-hkilrFZ3hVvos

Only his time at Georgia Tech sticks out to me as not so hot. But I'm willing to attribute that to the fact that GT just sucks, and is not positioned well in the ACC to get the talent needed be successful there.

Tech under HC Brent Key shows improvement, but i agree with the recruiting challenge there.

Seems like a great hire.
I feel the TMTDM will continue forward.
