Never a quiet moment in the football program. The portal quiets down and now we have a coach on the move. DB Coach Beyah Rasool has moved on to Florida, where he will be an analyst. (It's another symbol of the haves and have-nots. Also, if you read down in the story, the NCAA is talking about removing the limits on on-field coaches, which would unleash legions of P4 analysts on the field to the tune of about one for every two players).
Rasool was at BG for one year. BG had a great year while he was there--finished #12 in pass defense in the nation. He's the second defensive coach to leave in the off-season for a P4 destination--Julian Campeni on the DL went to Rutgers, but he is on-field.
BG moved immediately to replace Rasool, naming Robert Armand to replace him. Armand went to Stetson (Hatters!) and then was a graduate assistant at BG in the early Loeffler years. He went to an off-field role at Vanderbilt for a couple years (under former BG assistant Clark Lea) and then his position was eliminated (according to LinkedIn) and he was going to coach LBs at Maine, but the Falcons snapped him up before he could get started there.
Rasool has changed jobs just about every year he's been in coaching. I understand it's a transient profession by nature, but we had to know what's coming given the track record. Loeffler goes for the familiar again...worked with Morrison/Lawanson so hopefully will work again.
ReplyDeleteI see that they have announced kickoff times for the first two games and the games in November. It will be football time before we know it!
