I like some of the hires but seeing all of the "stAte"s in the Sticky thread at the top makes me a little uneasy.

What will he coach? Would they move Garner off the d line?

Good find and good to know it's done.

It could be Arky St. guys (which is fine with me on the O side), but it could also be some guys on other bowls teams.

They have already announced Lash and Grimes, so maybe not Arky St guys.

or

Gus is hiring the Arky St. guys and didn't want to leave them totally naked for their bowl game.

Hopefully Garner moves to TEs and the RB coach gets ST

That was a complete guess btw

The newest update on 247 actually mentions that. The chargers arse ST coach is being looked at to coach RB & ST, he did it for the Bucs from 2002-2010. Rich Bisaccia.
Looking at Tim Horton to coach WR.
Not sure if the post about Rocker is serious

If this happens and Rocker is brought in for DLine, I would honestly get excited about this coaching staff then. Right now I am still in wait and see mode.

Anyone think Rocker could be DT's and ST coach and Garner could be DE's and recruiting coordinator?

Edit: or maybe make Rock assistant DC to take over when EJ retires?

IMHO, I do not care who he hires on the offensive side. He did a great job on the defensive side.

Harbison is already Co-DC. I think our next assistants are obviously in the NFL or have bowl games coming up, and Gus will announce the hires on either Monday or Wednesday.

Names being thrown out are Rich Bisaccia from San Diego Chargers as ST/RB coach, Tim Horton from ARK for WR coach.

It doesn't make any sense that he wouldn't already be announced if he had already been hired.

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
