Jim Mora’s new staff coming together…

[jostar1]

Would Charlton also serve as QB coach?

According to this article: "Charlton will also be UConn's associate head coach and quarterbacks coach. "

Mora did say a couple of times he wanted a young and open minded OC.

Does anyone have an inkling on the total $ pool for assistant coaches? I'm thinking that may be #1 reason Mora has to settle for a slash.

OTOH, perfect time to make a call... "Hey Dan, if you're serious about coaching here, I've got an opening. No money though."

So anyone know anything about Charlton’s offensive philosophy (pun intended)? What sort of offense did Maine run and is it something that might be able to translate to the FBS level?

Whatever it is it allowed Maine to put up 45 on URI and 35 on UMass, something we didn't come close to.

Any ideas on DC? I’m stumped. Don’t think it will be a big swing - AHC taken by Charlton and Mora is a defensive guy.

No announcement on a tight ends coach yet..........rooting for Corey even though there's little chance.

Marinelli was announced by UConn as the TE Coach.

Or could it be that the OC is a QB “Guru”? And even big programs have a slash

 

[Dizzy21]

Could Osborn actually be an Assistant DL coach instead of THE DL coach?

Not sure how much you know about the guy, but he was credited by the players as being equally responsible for the DL success at Michigan as the DL line coach was. This also got him in trouble as he wasn't suppose to be "coaching" the players, but it appears a good deal of their front 7 success came from him.

You can only have 10 coaches aside from Mora. We don't have a DC, Oline, Special Teams...it is literally impossible to not have a slash with the limit of coaches.

UMass v Maine Black Bears on 11/13. I think if you are Mora and got contacted by Charlton or his people ... this one is interesting viewing

 

[firstnline]

Lets see who our real bigger, strong and faster strength and conditioning coach is. That too might go a long way to being successful around here.

It’s also possible that the DC, OL and ST coaches can not be named yet because they have contractual obligations to other school still competing.

Good read….

UMaine’s Nick Charlton is not your typical football coach

At 30, the nation's youngest Division I head coach takes over a program coming off its most successful season.

They used to say about oil deals, no good investment opportunities ever left Texas. Maybe the same is true of high school football players.

They leave… to go to Alabama.

I like the mentoring piece if that is what it is.

How bad did we suck if Maine could do that to UMass?

Worth watching just for the announcers reaction on the last Maine TD.

Off Coord
QB
RB
O Line
TE
Def Coor
D Line
LB
DBs/Secondary
Spec Teams

Now, you could split up inside LBs from outside, or DBs from safeties, but it would seem 10 should do the trick, no? You're not having assistant HC not also handle a specific position. No point in that.

Better than salary he was given a title (AHC). I believe it was not a matter of money but someone who is young and motivated, flexible and can recruit. Also showed strong interest in building something special. Believe it was not a case of saving money. I believe the new attitude is whatever it takes and salary might be decent since he left a head coaching job. Did Kentucky ask this when they hired Coen?

Florida State’s OC is also the QB coach and Ohio state’s OC is the TE’s coach so they must’ve gone the cheap route as well

The OC being the QB coach is common. The OC being the OL coach is very unusual and we have experienced why.

Thamel says he's a QB Guru.

I know it’s common just pointing out just because a program has a slash doesn’t mean they went cheap with the pool money

Coach King, from what I understand, is being retained and being given a few staff members

Will be interesting to see if he decides to save money by not hiring a special teams coach and designating it to someone else on the staff. It’s not uncommon nowadays.
