Bulls find replacement for McCarney

The USF football team filled the hole in its coaching staff left by the departure of Dan McCarney to the University of Florida.

Kevin Patrick — who was a member of the USFcoaching staff from 1996-1998 — was hired today as the new assistant coach. He will be working with defensive coordinator Wally Burnham as the defensive ends coach.

“Kevin was with us before and did a great job as a coach and player,” USF coach Jim Leavitt said in a press release. “We are excited to have him back. He has a great amount of passion for the game and USF. He is a tremendous teacher and will do great things with the defensive ends. He will be tremendous asset to the defensive staff that Defensive Coordinator Wally Burnham oversees.”

Patrick played football at the University of Miami, where he was a member of the Hurricanes 1992 National Championship team.
