The coaching staff...

[Athlete269]

Why haven't David Reaves and James Cregg been introduced as staff members yet?? They have been officially hired, right?

And what about Mark Smith?

Don't pay attention to that right now, it still has Jason Michael on it.

I read something recently that said Drayton and Michael would probably be retained...is this true??

No. Michael is going back to the NFL from all reports and Drayton is not going to be retained from everything I have read, but nothing is certain with him. He has no other offers, so that should tell you something of his coaching skills and market value.

I'm not trying to start this again, but those pics make it look like they like the color black. And even though I'm against it I can't think of anything scarier than Eric Berry in all black.

Maybe Rod Wilks in all black.....

thus you have Monte as DC and Ed as RC being introduced friday. No other staff introductions will be made until the offensive coordinator(s) are introduced.
My guess is that Chaney and Garner will share the title as co-OCs with Chaney passing game C and Garner running game C. Lane also will likely have a special teams coordinator, which I project could be Gonzales--he was UM's ST coach at Utah, and could do double duty as WR and ST at UT. Question is what positions will Chaney and Rodney coach? Cregg can do OL or TE for sure. RG could do either as well. Where does Reeves fit in this? Chaney's forte is QBs. My guess is Reeves could end up doing RBs if Gonzales comes, and Gonzo does WRs, which would mean Drayton is out.
On defense, Monte is a walk around DC which means there will need to be at least three position coaches on that side of the ball-----Ed is DL-----who is LB and DB?

 

[Abeachvol]

Monte = DBs

 

[vol81]

Monte said in the PC that he wouldnt do a specific position---which tells me we will need a DB and a LB coach.

Rod Wilks is invisible. And even if he wasn't he moves faster than the speed of light so no one can tell what color he wears.
