So, Chris Hedden (BG's line coach and run coordinator or something like that) left BG for "another opportunity." That created an opening.
Loeffler decided to move TE Coach Greg Nosal over to coaching the line...Nosal played OL at Virginia Tech...and he will also be the run game coordinator. Alex Bayer, an all-MAC TE at BG, will now coach special teams and TEs.
Which, if you are scoring at home, still leaves a position open.
It was filled by Beyah Rasool, who will coach CBs. Rasool was a defensive backfield analyst for Arizona, where he undoubtedly got to know our current AD. There is more info on his bio here. Coach Loeffler says he is an "up-and-coming talent."
He also led Arizona's national recruiting efforts.
Now, you might be saying, as I was, hey didn't we just get a new guy to coach the defensive secondary. And you'd be right. When Eric Lewis left, BG hired Derrick Jackson, Associate Head Coach at NIU to coach the defensive secondary and coordinate the pass defense. That was on February 1. The roster on the website now lists him as defensive pass game coordinator and I assume he will handle the safeties.
Really need two sets of eyes in the secondary, which is something most programs do. Seems like an excellent recruiter, too.
ReplyDeleteWhere did Hedden go?
