Re: New Coach hire
This could be interesting. He is one that might stick around for a long time. 16 years at GW. Must have roots in the area or maybe doesn't want to move his family all the time.

Re: New Coach hire
So the only defensive coach coming back is West.
Wonder if those changes were Sloan-led or were going to happen regardless.

Re: New Coach hire
The new ILB coach has worked with Sloan. I’m guessing he had a role in getting his guy in place.

Re: New Coach hire
Looked him up on WKU’s website. If his coaching is as strong as his mustache… we are good.

Re: New Coach hire
My money is on Sloan cleaning house and bringing in his guys.
Previous staff avg 32/34 pts a game means there were numerous issues that needed to be addressed.

Re: New Coach hire
So, we have OLB and Safeties coach to hire? Who did Sloan have at those positions at GaSo?

Re: New Coach hire
Sloan is coaching Safeties. AJ Howard apparently is set to coach OLB and a guy from WKU is coaching ILB.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 7:20 amSo, we have OLB and Safeties coach to hire? Who did Sloan have at those positions at GaSo?

Re: New Coach hire
Think they switch? Sloan doesn’t have safeties next to his title on the main site where Ponce has QuarterbacksAppSt94 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 7:26 amSloan is coaching Safeties.

Re: New Coach hire
I think titles were still being worked out when the site was last updated. AJ has updated all of his social media platforms to OLB.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 7:55 amThink they switch?

Re: New Coach hire
Interesting. If I recall AJ played safety. Curious to learn his experience coaching OLBs.

Re: New Coach hire
Well aware of that. I just prefer not being the team they cut their teeth on in transition to a new position. With that I have faith in the process and decision. Just found it interesting.

Re: New Coach hire
Look at this way. He was a talent scout for the NFL. He played in the NFL. He understands the skill sets needed to play the game correctly. He is well regarded as a student of the game. Does all that qualify him to be a coach? Not necessarily. His pedigree will allow him to be relatable to his players.

Re: New Coach hire
Excited about, and for AJ. Looking at his Twitter, there’s quite a bit of Cincinnati stuff. Was he set to help coach up there before getting this call?
