JSU's Botkin leaves for La.-Monroe

The Anniston Star reports today (subscription required but they do have a "day pass") that JSU outside linebackers coach and special teams coordinater Kirk Botkin has accepted a similar position on the staff of the Sun Belt Conference's Louisiana-Monroe Indians.

JSU, currently in the middle of spring drills, will have to replace both Botkin and former defensive line coach Roland Houston, who left Feb. 1 to become head coach at Jacksonville High.
