We already have a successful FCS OC on staff, Wayne Linberg. He coached receivers last year and QB's this year. He played QB at Virgina. He should have a great deal of input in the passing game. Together with Verducci and staff, along with a united philosophy should do well.

Not sure who HCBD will have calling plays this year but coach Linberg would seem to have the credentials . . .
Lineburg originally came to Richmond in 2010 as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach and was the interim head coach in 2011.
In 2013, Lineburg's offensive help lead the Spiders to a four-game winning streak at the end of the season, including victories over two ranked teams to close the year. Richmond's offense ranked 24th in the country (441.4 yards per game) in the Football Championship Subdivision - a mark which was second in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Spiders led the CAA in passing offense at 328.2 yards per game.
In 2012, Lineburg helped guide a prolific Richmond offense rank 20th in the nation in passing offense (271.2) and 21st in scoring offense (33.2). Richmond had an 8-3 record and earning a share of the Colonial Athletic Association championship. The Spiders saw two offensive players, fullback Kendall Gaskins and tight end Kevin Finney, earn All-American honors.
Lineburg had twice been the Spiders' offensive coordinator prior to the start of the 2011 campaign, when he continued in that role while also serving as interim head coach. Under Lineburg, senior wide receiver Tre Gray was named Associate Press Third-Team All-American.
The Radford, Va. native had a first stint with Richmond for three years from 2004-06 as the offensive coordinator and running backs coach.
Under Lineburg, the Spiders' posted prolific offensive numbers. In 2005, Richmond gained a school-record 4,957 yards of total offense and scored 44 touchdowns. The offensive unit averaged 381.3 yards per game and ranked 41st in the country that year. Lineburg's offense averaged more than 330 yards per game every year and had an 800-yard rusher each of those three seasons.
