Back in late November, Pat Fitzgerald made a number of changes to his staff, and now is reportedly set to lose his second assistant in a week to the NFL.
Northwestern running backs coach Lou Ayeni is expected to leave for the running backs job on Sean Payton's staff in Denver.
Ayeni also held the title of recruiting coordinator on the staff.
Since joining the coaching profession as a graduate assistant at Northwestern in 2008, Ayeni has built a name for himself working with running backs at Toledo and Iowa State before joining the Northwestern staff in 2018.
The move marks the first NFL coaching opportunity for Ayeni as Sean Payton continues to build an impressive staff.
The other assistant coach from Evanston that left for the NFL came last week, as reports shared that Northwestern corners coach Ryan Smith was expected to join the Cardinals staff in the same capacity.
