While watching the Dallas Cowboys-New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, I noticed a familiar face:Β Terry Malone. Talk about a success story. Malone, now the Saints’ tight ends coach, arrived as a graduate assistant at Arizona in 1984, a Holy Cross grad. He then accompanied UA defensive coordinatorΒ Moe AnkneyΒ when Ankney became Bowling Green’s head coach in 1987. Malone took it from there, coaching at Michigan for 10 years and for the last eight seasons in the NFL.
