Over the last few weeks, Brian Kelly has slowly completed his coaching staff. Here is the final rundown:
OFFENSE
Charley Molnar - Off. Coordinator/Quarterbacks
Tony Alford - Wide Receivers
Mike Denbrock - Tight Ends
Tim Hinton - Running Backs
Ed Warrinner - Offensive Line
DEFENSE
Bob Diaco - Def. Cordinator/Linebackers
Kerry Cooks - Linebackers
Mike Elston - Defensive Line
Chuck Martin - Defensive Backs
Paul Longo - Strength and Conditioning
A few items that jump out at me, is that there are no big name coaches. When Weis assembled his staff five years ago, many of those coaches arrived in South Bend with much fanfare and flashy resumes. However, when you examine these names, there is only one thing that stands out: winning. Most of these coaches have crossed paths with Kelly somewhere throughout their careers. That is what I'm excited about. These are RKGs when it comes to coaches as they are already familiar with Kelly's style, personality, and coaching philosophies. After all, Weis proved resumes don't mean anything.
