New Coach

[Winning is Gr8]

As of yesterday the NCAA is allowing teams to hire a 10th full time coach- i know many teams announced who they hired yesterday- anyone have an idea on our plans?

Please be a punter/kicker coach.

I agree that we need a special teams coordinator that is not a full time coach of another position.

[Rixen]

I am on board with this as well and this is not just a knee jerk reaction to the punting during the championship. Just seems like another way to strengthen an already great program.

If I'm not mistaken, Bryan Shepherd was/is our 10th full time assistant coach. I think he was given the title a year early. Am I counting wrong?

The FBS and FCS have different rules. FCS teams are already allowed 11 coaches.

Don't get me wrong, love me some Bryan Shepherd, but isn't having a DB backs coach and a Cornerbacks coach a little overkill? Just think special teams would demand enough attention to warrant a dedicated coach.

[Professor Chaos]

Speaking of Shepherd, I think it was in the press conference on New Year's Day where Klieman said something I thought was pretty funny about him. He said that he (Klieman) and Klanderman can only tell the CBs and DBs how to play the position, Shep can actually show them.

[Mr. Burgundy]

Guys, Shep is VALUABLE! Kid can tell one heck of a story to recruits. Classy young man. Very valuable part.
