and he’s from Ohio, played at Toledo and doesn’t have ties to Utah. Harding seems to be a good recruiter and a solid coach. He’s one of the coaches outside of Whitt’s internal circle thats been very succesfull here.
If my memory serves me correctly, a year or two ago he interviewed for the Bengals job. Seems to be trying to make the jump to the NFL. That doesn’t necessarily mean he hates Whitt.
