Several sources reporting Hammock to take over at Northern; so, an NFL assistant returning to alma mater=instant success or something (kindly insert sarcasm emoji here, if you wish).
"Northern Illinois is hiring Baltimore Ravens running backs coach Thomas Hammock as its next head coach, a source told ESPN.

NIU also spoke with Indiana State head coach Curt Mallory, NIU offensive coordinator Mike Uremovich, Wisconsin offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph and others about its coaching vacancy.
