What the title said. Going to the Colts as their new DB coach, so that's a third assistant that's left after Peterson and Braswell.

Ouch is right, but I’m not surprised. I felt he would make it back to the league at some point, and really thought he would be gone before anyone else. Wonder if he lobbies for Sherm to Indy during the draft?

Congrats to Coach Rowe. Stinks for us, but can’t compete with the NFL comes calling.

Hope Coach Clark wasn’t expecting a ‘slow’ off season.

GO APPS!!

Colts are one of the teams who had him in the 6th round range during the fall. It would not shock me if they take him in the 5th round range now. We will find out just how much Rowe likes Sherm because coaches get a lot of input. If he really wants Sherm they will draft him. These coaches can be the difference and get a player pushed up 1-2 rounds on a team board easily.

The quotation below is from Coach Rowe's bio on appstatesports.com. Seems the young man has made a name for himself while at App! Best wishes to him in Indy.


"Rowe spent the previous three seasons on staff with the NFL’s Washington Redskins as assistant defensive backs coach and, in his first season at App State, was one of 56 candidates nationally for the Broyles Award that honors college football’s top assistant coaches."

A really good DB coach is critical for our defensive scheme. We rely heavily on having lock down corners and striking safeties.

I touched on this a little last week. He was supposed to go to Vandy but the NFL came calling so he went there. The plan was to also bring in his brother to take Braswell's spot but now that has changed. They are moving a coach to another position and are hiring 2 DB coaches. One name I've heard is Javier Arenas from Alabama. He is interviewing next Monday.

Maybe the Alabama pedigree and the NFL experience are clouding my judgement, but he looks the part for sure.

Agree he knows how to play the position. Can he coach “teach” the position is the question that needs to be answered.

He has the pedigree but is pretty green on the coaching side. I trust that SC is a good judge of what someone can bring to Boone.

Maybe that is where our more experienced coaches can mentor the lesser experienced coaches. If you don’t have the pockets of Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State or Clemson then you have to be creative, develop it in house is a good approach. Dude knew how to play and probably had some good coaches teaching him. Sounds like a reasonable bet for Clark.

A bit of an understatement! His last year he was coached by the best DB coach in country, Saban. The man is beyond demanding of his dbs, he coaches them harder than any other position. You can also go back and see how glowingly Saban has talked about him. If Clark gets an endorsement from Saban(Im sure he will) and it is a personality fit I believe this would be huge for us, plus adding in the Tampa area for recruiting.

Never a bad thing to have redundancy in a large talent pool. Especially if one of the guys is a local legend.
