The source’s cleanest staff→commit story: phil-trautwein knew Hiller “since like eighth grade” from the Penn State OL-coach stint. Alligator also has Hiller saying Trautwein is “one of the best, if not the best, offensive line coaches” and predicting other linemen would follow — Hutcheson and Miller then committed.
