Green was an assistant with Rodriguez during his entire tenure at Jacksonville State -- the Gamecocks ranked third in Conference USA in sacks last season, and fourth in scoring defense. Green previously coached with Rodriguez at Louisiana-Monroe. Before linking up with Rodriguez on staff with the Warhawks, he had served a previous stint at Jacksonville State as well as one at Florida.
Green played collegiately in the SEC, spending a four-year stint with the Florida Gators. He was a member of the program from 2008-11, capturing a national championship his freshman season and seeing action in 53 career games. He recorded 44 career tackles and 2.5 career sacks.
