Slade spent the last ten seasons coaching the defensive backs at Tennessee, where he helped mold the likes of Eric Berry, Gibril Wilson, Deon Grant, Rashad Baker, Jabari Greer, Jonathan Wade and Jason Allen. He was the secondary coach at Washington when the Huskies shared the 1991 national championship, and he also worked at Maryland and with Kragthorpe at Texas A&M.
"Larry is one of the most-respected defensive back coaches in the nation," said Kragthorpe. "I worked with Larry at Texas A&M and he is one of the best I've ever been around. I'm excited that he has decided to join our staff."
