I hear Jake Byrne has been next in line to join Goldens staff for a while now. He was with the team from 2005-2009, but from talking to a few guys on the team, he spent extensive time studying the game. If you go back and watch old highlightes, him as well as another backup QB, Matt Perrelli, were often seen on the sidelines with the headsets on calling plays out to Jacory. His father had been a coach for a long time over at Gulliver Prep and has a great relationship with Al Golden. I believe Golden had taken Jake under his wing through the relationship with his dad and in a way has been his understudy. I am not too sure if this is actually true or not, but I would not be suprised if there are legs to these rumors. I know that Colin and Jake are very good friends, so he must know something....
We will see, but I support this decision. Jake is a fiery young guy and would kill it on the recruiting trail. He has extensive relationships in South Florida. We shall see.
