He coached 16 All-Sun Belt Conference players, including an NFL Draft selection and five NFL free agents.

• Prior to joining ASU, Hiller spent 2001 at Northwestern State University, coaching two All-Southland Conference players and helping the team reach the I-AA playoffs.

• He spent two seasons at Arkansas-Monticello (1999-200) where he helped the team finish in the top five in Division II in total and scoring offense and break 30 offensive school records. Four players earned All-Gulf South Conference recognition.

Lol yup. Just would have been cool to have Justin and bring him back home to gods country. Also another young buck with nick Sheridan. I think sometimes younger coaches handle recruiting better since they can somewhat relate more to HS athletes and he had a good resume working down at UF with the pouncey brothers.
