He gets to work with a well-respected head coach (at least to the schools he didn't do a fake punt play on when winning by 30 points).

IMHO, David Cutcliffe one of the coaches in the country, good guy to learn from.

Calm down there, Bronc

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

He played at Brown, good future ahead of him. When we hired that Marshall guy, I assumed Sparber was gone.

Any details on what his role at Duke will be - assistant coach or support staff?

edit: per his LinkedIn he's now the Assistant Linebackers Coach at Duke, sounds like an on-field position.

He was a Grad Assistant at VT, so it's not surprising to see him moving on after 3 years, especially to become a position coach. GA positions are transient by their nature.
