Recently, we’ve seen both Dexter Coakley and AE active on campus.
Is it possible there is more going on here than meets the eye??

I doubt it means anything more than visiting.
Dex is getting up there in years and hasn't even been a head HS coach, as far as I know. He is down in Texas.
AE is 34, He might take one more contract in the CFL if he can get a look. Otherwise, I could see him sticking around the Charlotte area and work on business ventures. He also has no coaching experience.
Experience means a lot in the coaching world.

Wonder if Coakley visiting in relation to getting son visits on college campuses.

Jeff Saturday wants someone to hold his beer.

Yes. His son was here for a camp. Coakley is too reserved for the coaching gig.

"Saturday is the first NFL head coach with no prior college or professional coaching experience since Norm Van Brocklin with the Minnesota Vikings in 1961."
And this is how rare that is. There is some fishy stuff going on with that one. I wanna know how much dirt Saturday has on people.
Edit: I just saw his son is WR for UNC. He is a junior with 0 stats. 5-10 185lbs. Def the Mack brown influence.

I know and agree. I think the whole thing is odd.

We have a lot of former players on game days consistently.It has been a point of emphasis by the Department.Perhaps it's just that.

After checking google

Coakley is a linebackers coach at a private prep academy in Texas. It’s not too much of a stretch to move from there to a linebackers coach at the college team level.
But I’m not sure I agree with him being “too reserved”. I think some of the best coaches (mentors) are pretty reserved.
