Ex-Buc Hovan promoted to assistant strength coach

Former Bucs defensive tackle Chris Hovan, who spent the past year working with USF football as an intern on the strength and conditioning staff, has been hired as a full-time assistant strength and conditioning coach.

Hovan, 34, spent 11 seasons in the NFL from 2000-10, including starting 79 of 80 games while with the Bucs from 2005-09. He spent the 2010 season on injured reserve with the Rams, then started working with the Bulls, first as a volunteer coach. He was a first-round pick of the Vikings in 2000 after earning All-America honors at Boston College and finished his NFL career with 22 sacks.

Love it. He had some great years with the Bucs, and knows what it takes to get to the League. Good guy to have on staff and he has some kickass tattoos.

Congratulations to Chris. Follow him on twitter and always love what he has to say. I know he kicks butt in the weight room, but I think it goes further than that, it's all about the motivation.

good hire. enjoy watching him and our main strength coach on the sidelines, they get very fired up and certainly bring some energy to the players when needed. and i'm sure his OL experience is great for the linemen to bounce questions off of him and get a little extra knowledge.

Great line in the South African rugby film when Matt Damon says that the "fittest team will win"

There is NO reason in the world why we shouldn't be able to field the fittest team in the NCAA.

Go get 'em guys!!
