Football Assistant Roles?

Hmmmm… Run Game/Pass Game Coordinators coming?

So is Nunzio not the OC? Edited to answer my own question, as Marquel Blackwell is the new pass game coordinator. However, I will add some of the people expected to follow Candle from Toledo have not come over as of yet.

Damn it. I want the new season to start.

Assuming these all go official:

Head Coach: Jason Candle

OC: Nunzio Campanile
Pass Game Coordinator/QB Coach: Marquel Blackwell
OL: John Morookian
Asst. OL: Max Wray
WR: Kerry Dixon

DC: Ryan Manalac

GM: Zach Potter

Director of Recruiting/Player Relations: AJ Harrison

Pretty damn solid staff on the offensive end. Guys Candle knows, guys with pro experience, guys with P4 experience. Diverse recruiting areas.

Where is he going?

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Blackwell - 2 years as co-OC/QB coach with Houston. 2 seasons (‘16-‘17) as Toledo RB coach with Candle. St. Petersburg, FL native. USF QB, then some pro QB playing exp (brief NFL, CFL, indoor in 4 years). Predominantly, RB coach 9ish years (Toledo, WVU, Houston, Ole Miss, A&M, USCe).

Marquell Blackwell background

Looks like the reason he was let go at South Carolina is because he wasn’t able to bring in a 5-star caliber RB back to back years. Won’t have the same recruiting pressures here and can get back to coaching his natural position

Pat Cashmore - Football Coach - Washington State University Athletics

Pat Cashmore begins his first season in Pullman as special teams coordinator on Jimmy Rogers staff, a similar role he held under Rogers at South Dakota State. Cashmore

Besides Kashif, I haven't heard that any of these other coaches will be following Mora to Colorado State. Sis I miss something. If they're not following him and they don't land somewhere else, it kind of sucks for them that they are looking for work. I wish them all well and that they find a nice landing spot.

From his biography on the Washington State website, he worked with Candle in the past.

Cashmore served two previous stints at the Division I level, serving as special teams quality control at Toledo from 2016-17 and as a special teams coordinator and offensive graduate assistant at Oklahoma State for two seasons (2018-19). Toledo captured the 2017 MAC Championship and Cashmore coached two all-conference performers on special teams.

Pryce Tracy (Passing Game/Quarterbacks) is going with Mora to CSU.

That's right, I forgot about that one.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Cashmore: Ex-Toledo ST GA (‘16-‘17) with Candle.

In less than a year, moves 1/2 way across country from South Dakota State to Wazzu (following SDSU coach who recently left Pullman for Iowa State) to move all of the way across country to rejoin Candle.

Interesting background, some MW JCs, NAIA D2 Midland (NE), Toledo GA, OK State GA, D2 Pittsburg (State) in Kansas, SD State, Wazzu, on the road again to Storrs.

Unfortunately that’s the career they chose. Most earn much more than they can in the private sector so it is not easy to give up.

Also going to CSU...Dalton Hilliard, Kenny McClendon, Jackson Michell, Trey Mora, Jagger Pagano, Rante Jones, Christian Pace and probably Siriki Diabate but Candle trying to keep him at UConn..

Special Teams Coordinator Doug Schearer just got hired for same position at VA TECH.

Best of Luck to the coaches, appreciate the effort to rebuild the program.
