Mavric Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Unless Tavita is planning to leave - which has been rumored but seems less likely the longer it goes - the plan is to hire another defensive coach now and hire Tavita as a full-time coach in April when the 10th coach (presumably) gets final approval. As a TE coach it seems likely that he would also help with the OL. Quote Link to comment

As a TE coach it seems likely that he would also help with the OL. If he stays, I agree with this. I purposely didn't put him on my list because he currently is a GA and the rumors he is leaving. I agree though, the longer he sticks around, the less likely he is leaving. I also agree that a TE coach should be able to help with the O Line, especially since the TE works with the O line so much in blocking schemes. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We should hire a longsnapper coach. Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I still feel pretty certain that I am right about that unspoken handshake agreement that B1G coaches don't go to intra-conference schools. Every example people threw out didn't apply to that scenario, and I'm trying to find any info to back it up but I swear I remember hearing plenty about this when we first joined the conference.Rick Kaczenski - Iowa's defensive line coach from 07'-11' and jump shiped to Nebraska for the same position in 12' Does that count? This one and Larry Johnson leaving PSU for OSU when Meyer took over are the only that come to my mind. Chris Ash left Ohio State to take the HC job @ Rutgers. He also had a previous stint at Whisky before he left with BB to roll down to Arky for a year. Quote Link to comment

Kaz and LJ were lateral moves. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The longer this goes, the more likely I feel we might be hiring Tavita for now. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The longer this goes, the more likely I feel we might be hiring Tavita for now. I bet Tavita went to Riley and asked if he has a full-time position waiting for him if the 10th assistant gets approved, and Riley probably said yes. Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Seems conceivable that we might need a safeties coach. We were going that round initially when we hired Donte it sounded like. It might be good to split that role up anyway since it sounds like that'll be completely new to Williams. Definitely should be a hire with expertise in the 3-4 so Diaco can do more coaching players and less teaching coaches. Quote Link to comment

I wonder if we would possibly go Defense with both our openings... if 10th is approved. Safeties Coach OLB Coach With one of or both of them taking over ST as well. I can't decide if I'd rather have that or a TE/Asst OL Coach - Tavita. Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 How many programs have both a CB and a S assistant coach? If they add a 10th position and Riley can find a dynamic recruiter where it helps to have both, OK cool. Otherwise, it seems like a waste. I'd rather have a full time TEs coach and then add a full time QB coach to let DL roam in practice more and have someone on the sidelines during the games. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Not hearing any noise on this front. Only update is that we may wait until around or after signing day, hope that's not the case. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Guessing we won't hear anything until after signing day, when there tends to be a small flurry of assistants move each year. Quote Link to comment
