Football Rounds Out Staff

 An opening had popped up for BG when Terry Malone went to LSU.  Here's how that played out.

Those hoping for some kind of impact hire at OC will be disappointed.  Greg Nosal (TEs) and Max Warner (QBs) will be co-offensive coordinators, while Chris Hedden (OL) will be the run game coordinator.  You know, the OC is really Loeffler.  Even though it was announced he wasn't calling plays, he spent a lot of time crouched over his playsheet talking into the headset when we had the ball.  Are you going to get a true OC in under those circumstances?  Whether this arrangement works is still unclear, but it's probably best for what we have to work with.

And at least we didn't get Addazio.

The addition to the staff is Brian White, who will coach RBs.  He is from the Addazio tree, as it were.  He will coach RBs.  He played QB at Harvard and has an MBA from Notre Dame. Starting in 1990, he coached at UNLV, Nevada, UNLV again, Wisconsin (11 years), Syracuse (both as OCs), Washington, Florida (here we connect with Addazio/Loeffler), Boston College and Colorado State, where he was the Senior Associate Head Coach.

So, there was Dayne, Davis and Bennett at UW, AJ Dillon at BC....and a bunch of other stuff.  He was also AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year at one point.

He's an accomplished coach who has been around some very successful offenses and teams that play the way we want to play.  BG has some young talent at RB and if he gets that rounded around with an upgraded line, we can be on our way to being competitive.
