Was reading his Wiki article, man that guy seems to be a nutjob. Everywhere he went he wasa argumentative, intimidating (in a bad way) and ridiculous
Well, he's a Tiny Tot Bowden guy, so that's not surprising.

Wonder why they haven't announced them yet? Black Monday is over.

my guess is things aren't/weren't as solid as everyone expected... and that's to be expected. Why wouldn't an NFL assistant keep his options open at this time? There will be 7 new staffs put togher over the next few weeks afterall.

I wonder if Malzahn hasn't announced the rest of the staff from a strategic standpoint. Perhaps he doesn't want all the bowl games to overshadow who he hires? Maybe he is waiting since AU didn't go to a bowl to give fans and recruits something exciting since we aren't playing in the postseason? Maybe he is waiting for these all start games to finish up so recruits aren't distracted. Maybe once the dead period is over he wants the new hires to be fresh on the minds of the recruits so when the staff starts contacting them, there is still excitement around the staff. Or maybe they don't have a freaking clue.

Actually he was a Pat Dye signee, but the majority of his career was under Bowden
