How about John Settle for RBs?
“John, what do you think about leaving Wisconsin and coming back to App? Yes, I know Wisconsin was pre-season top 10 last year but you can come home and take a pay cut! What do you say, John?”

Sorry to play it so sarcastically, but i love when we bring up guys who have 0 reason to come back to App haha.
0 Reason? Except when posters on here say so and so bleeds black and gold. Well, guess what...if they bled black and gold, they would still be here despite the pay differential.
No, they wouldn't.

If the last two hires are RB and DL, that would have to mean Roof is going to take either ILBs or OLBs. He's a linebacker coach by trade, I believe.

We have enough talent at RB, our best running back will be a redshirt freshman next year.

In Ethan Joyce's article announcing Coach Adams, he stated "Mountaineers still need a running backs coach and a defensive line coach. "
If that’s the case, that is putting a lot of faith and pressure on DJ smith at LBs, to go from coaching with dale jones part of the LBs to coaching all LBs in a very important role for a 3-4 defense

One LB coach would prove the notion that we are moving more towards a 4-2-5 which Roof likes to run.

So potentially defensively Gasparato coaches safeties and corners, DJ and roof coach LBs and new hire coaches D-line

Offensively Dorsey coaches QBs, Clark coaches O-line , Adams WRs and either link or new hire coaches RBs?
Does S&C coach count towards 10 assistants?

conversely, Roof could take a LB group and DC a la Woody, or his tenure at Auburn, where he pulled double duty...

Lol only a moron is sacrificing an extra $250k a year in salary, which is what Settle would be doing, when the only trade off is going back to your alma mater.

I think it would make sense to hire a d-line coach and a CB coach. Link can take RB's with help of Drink.

Refrigerator Perry could be the Dline coach and RB's coach.
