OLB Coach

Was surprised that Pogue is the new OLB and Buck coach. T-Will I assume remains with ILB's, Crime Dog DB's, and Coach Steele rotating or has someone heard he may be working with the DB's?
My personal take is I liked Coach Steele working with the Bucks and T-Will working with the linebackers and having 2 DB coaches. We have up to 6 DBs on the field at times. That's a lot of coaching required. However I do agree our Bucks haven't developed as well in the past couple years. I guess since TD Moultry came on board. So what does it mean long term? Steele more available to teach T-Will to be his replacement? Steele planning on either trying to find a job after next year, Steele planning on retiring? T-Rob to DC at AU after the staff gets fired at USCe after next year?
Just some rambling thoughts, what's yours?

I mean, do we really need a different coach for the Inside and outside linebackers.
Soon, every single player will have his own coach.

Steele could be preparing for retirement, but he’s not taking another job elsewhere

Agreed, I would much rather have a second DB coach then LB coach. I also thought Pogue's experience was defensive backs.
Also, I'm not so sure Steele wouldn't leave for another job. Have to remember last year there were no coordinator press conferences each week and that's a big thing for assistant coaches that want to show how they handle questions and interacting with the press in case they want to be a Head Coach. I'm not saying either way is right or wrong, letting assistants in press conferences each week or not letting them. Doesn't matter to me but for upward growth it's really good for assistants to be seen and heard. Only takes one person, an AD from another school, to say I like how this guy handles himself.

Thanks but not qualified. Just a normal message board poster with an opinion. Still happy to see I give you a woody when I post tho. It’s be different if I even had a clue as to who you were but I don’t. Obviously you know me from somewhere else but no clue who you are so move along little feller
For the normies I thought it was a good discussion for the board before spring practice starts. Also have never heard Steele hates pressers. Seems all reports I’ve seen he loves them and the reports love his.

I've heard on here in the past couple years Steele doesn't like pressers too much.
Don't remember the exact comment he made but something like "let's get it over with, you guys make stuff up anyway" prior to one presser.
But I have seen him give press conferences i am sure, but not many...

Report: Auburn hires Brandon Fisher as defensive analyst
by Steven Taranto
Mar 6, 5:01 PM
Auburn University has served a significant role in the Fisher football family, as Trent Fisher - the son of longtime NFL head coach and Tennessee Titans franchise great Jeff Fisher - had once suited up for the Tigers football program as a defensive back. Now, the latest Auburn Football hire brings another Fisher into the fold.
According to a report by Mike Silver of NFL Network, second-generation coach Brandon Fisher has been hired by Auburn to serve as a defensive analyst. Fisher, one of Jeff Fisher's three children, had served as the defensive coordinator at Southern Utah University during the 2019 season after spending much of the decade coaching at the NFL level.
Fisher, a former linebacker at the University of Montana, began coaching as an assistant secondary coach with the Detroit Lions in 2011 before joining his father's staff on the St. Louis Rams. There, he worked his way up to defensive backs coach by the 2015 season, and served in that role until the end of the 2016 season and his father's ouster as Rams head coach. While Fisher had originally planned to join the Cleveland Browns with former Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, he instead opted to take a sabbatical from coaching.
Last year, Fisher re-emerged at the defensive coordinator at Southern Utah, a job which he was led to through connections from the NFL world. When Jeff Fisher played cornerback for the Chicago Bears in the early 1980s, he played alongside former Southern Utah safety Len Walterscheid - whose son Justin became the school's offensive coordinator.
At the college level, Fisher possesses an NFL-style mentality that echoes that of Buddy Ryan, the great defensive mastermind who coached his father as Bears defensive coordinator. According to a 2019 report by Chris Kwiecinski of The Spectrum, Fisher is partial towards players who are "fast and tough" - Criteria that has shades of Buddy Ryan, who long stated that his desire was to have players who played "tough and smart" on defense.
Unfortunately, Fisher's NFL defensive experience wasn't able to change the fortunes of Southern Utah. After following up a 1-10 2018 season with a 3-9 campaign in 2019, both Justin Walterscheid and tight ends coach Teag Whittling were fired by the Thunderbirds. It had also been known since December that Fisher would not return, though he left the program of his own volition in order to pursue other opportunities.
Now heading to Auburn, Fisher will join a staff led by head coach Gus Malzahn, whose defense is led by defensive coordinator Kevin Steele. Under Malzahn, the Tigers finished the 2019 season with a 9-4 record and as the No. 14-ranked school in the country, and finished their year with a loss in the Outback Bowl. The program's most-notable defensive player, defensive tackle Derrick Brown, will not return for the 2020 season as he enters the NFL Draft.
