I want Gattis badly

Homo, or no?

 

[BurninOrange]

Gattis or Haslett? I'm assuming Gattis.

You assumed correctly.

 

[Catbone]

You assumed correctly.

As in Gattis isn't coming?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I wonder if Z will stay on as full time Special Teams coach or be issued a git shirt?

Just seems like only 3 defensive coaches aren't enough to handle that side of the ball.

 

[Dust10]

He can go ***********

We all know your feelings on him, but our special teams were the best in school history and supposedly he hand a strong hand in that. Can't be overlooked.

I thought elder was special teams?

Who are you hearing would be LB coach, if Thig is leaving?

There was a lot of quotes from Butch at the end of season giving a lot of credit to Z in that area, but maybe he was just blowing smoke.

Well you can only have 9 full time assistants:

OC - DeBord
WR - Gattis (assuming)
RB - Gillespie
TE - Scott
DC - Shoop (assuming)
DL - Stripling
LB - Thigpen
DB - Martinez

That leaves 1 spot open. QB, OL, ST with no named assistant. Just me thinking out loud here... I bet there are more changes ahead.

Elder held the title STC but in reality the duties were split between staff members. Z did punt returns I think.

You forgot Mahoney at OL. According to Eazy Martinez and Thig will be gone too, so I thinking Shoop would cover DC and DB. That would open a spot for a full time ST if Butch really wanted to do that (which I kinda doubt).

Z did both return teams, if I understood correctly. He was always the one working with them in practice videos.

 

[Real Info]

Why would Thig be leaving? That makes no sense.

I hope Thig leaving isn't true.

This Karamo kid though... I like.

 

[Batman1948]

From reading other posts, it appears some of these decisions are not just related to coaching. Other things are in play away from the field. Just need to trust in Butch. His career is at stake with these moves. He's not stupid.

That's a heck of a staff.

Can't start a fire without a spark...

This guns for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark.






Sorry big Springsteen fan.

 

[volnpowell]

I find it interesting we offer a recruit from Pa and Shoop is DC for Penn St...:question:

 

[Smokey49]

That is too weird.
