Greg Hudson, current Defensive Coordinator at ECU, will be hired to coach linebackers at FSU. Jimbo Fisher continues to build what looks to be an outstanding staff. East Carolina won the Conference USA title this year and Hudson's defensive unit no doubt played a huge part in the team's success. Hudson also has a presence in the Carolina's on the recruiting trail, though the athletes he will inherit and recruit at FSU are in another league. Hudson comes to FSU following a 5 year stint at East Carolina, where his defenses are known for their physicality, toughness, and consistency in forcing turnovers (33 in 2008). In 2009, ECU ranked 6th in total tackles with 958. They finished with 27 sacks and 17 interceptions. Prior to working at ECU, Hudson coached at Minnesota (2001-2004), Cincinnati (1997-2000), and UConn (1994-1996). He was also a graduate assistant for Notre Dame in 1993.
