Logo spent the past three years at Colorado State as defensive line coach, helping lead the Rams to three bowl appearances. Prior to that, he coached the defensive line at Houston (2012-14), Furman (2011), Vanderbilt (2007-10), Troy (2002-06), Western Carolina (2002), and UT Chattanooga (1995-2001) during his 23-year coaching career.

At Troy, he coached a pair of NFL All-Pro linemen – Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants and Demarcus Ware of the Dallas Cowboys – and also served as co-defensive coordinator for two seasons before leaving for Vanderbilt. Logo has been a part of 11 bowl teams – seven as an assistant coach and four as a player at North Carolina State, where he was a third-team All-American as a senior.

Pipeline to Samoa is vital as Kapakahi previously mentioned that the 2019 class there will have some gems

Don’t know about this one. CSU dline was really bad. Defense was bad. DC retired and HC let go all of the defensive staff including Logo. I’ll just have to see how it goes. I am hoping for the best.

Like his experience. Hope he can improve the DLine

CSU's defense is always bad, no matter who is coaching it. Even when they shelled out all that money for Tyson Summers, they were still trash.

Like BigWave said, needed to keep that Samoa pipeline open. Finding hidden gems is next to impossible in today's recruiting age of social media and all that. Guys like Blessman Taala are as close as it gets to hidden gems. Need to make sure we're still a factor out there.

How about all these new coaches? Feels like a brand new regime.
