Most importantly we need a LB coach that can recruit hard
That guy right there...
Most importantly we need a LB coach that can recruit hard
Gattis is coaching WRI thought I read somewhere that Steele and Gattis would only be responsible for the offense and defense respectively. I think the last 4 positions will most likely be QB, TE, WR, and LB. I think someone mentioned Addae would have the whole room.
Oh okay, thanks for the clarification. Then I would go with DE coach.Gattis is coaching WR
Well **** we stole from UGa once, let’s grab Hartley back as TE coach. Money talks.I'm not talking names....we have 50 threads for that. But we can have 10 assistant, on-field coaches. So far, we have hired 6:
Josh Gattis -- Not official, but widely expected he will be the OC and coach WRs
Kevin Smiff -- RBs
Alex Mirabal -- OL
Joe Salave'a -- DL
Kevin Steele -- DC, and he has experience coaching LBs as well
Jahmile Addae -- DB
That leaves 4 more to hire. If you were Mario, where would those coaches be deployed?
CAVEAT: All the choices will contain QB coach and TE coach, as I believe it's a certainty that Mario will hire guys to man these 2 spots for sure. Perhaps the TE coach doubles as the ST coach, perhaps he has the Grad Asst from La Tech handle it and someone just helps on gameday, I'm not sure. But we're hiring a QB coach and someone has to coach the Tight Ends. Also, with this being said, you're almost definitely going to hire 2 on offense and 2 on defense, possibly with an ST coach stuck somewhere in there. Which way are you leaning and why?
I know, I was being sarcastic...Well .. there is a reason that there is such a thing as a passing game coordinator / WR coach .. kids need to know HOW to run routes and when to adjust routes.
Could still be off-field coach with primary focus on STD. Smith has been telling recruits since he got here, he is the ST's coach. If the leak is true, Steele will not be the LB's coach. I would be happy with either. If Mario is hiring a LB coach, he is interviewing more than those 2.
Agree with that but hope someone we hire has history of being good with special teams. The author of the thread is the one who put it down as a separate coach in his poll.I dont see why we’d have a separate coach for STs, have addae or an analyst do it. Dont need to waste a spot on it imo
Addae has a good history for it, I think we’re gonna have a big support staff so someone should be utilized there.Agree with that but hope someone we hire has history of being good with special teams. The author of the thread is the one who put it down as a separate coach in his poll.
