Not disagreeing but I haven't seen anything official on this. Do you have a printed source? Thanks.

I agree. Although it seems like our coordinators have always coached a position - Breske/safeties, Smith/QB's, Paulson/DE's, Phenicie/QB's.. Which to me says the $ isn't there to hire the extra position coach. It appears there is a spot available for another position's coach on D in 2012.
I expect Gregorak to be DC/LB's coach and Pflu to hire another position coach for the safeties. Assuming the $ is there to do so. Having Williams coach CB and safeties is a huge gamble IMO. Not saying Williams isn't capable of coaching the safeties, just think that position requires a little more attention than any other on D.
Every Griz DC since at least 1986 has also coached a position That's IAA football. That a true frosh became starter last years says a lot about were the problem was with the safeties. A true frosh starter in zone blitz scheme? Lets just say the talent in the upper classes just wasn't there.BWahlberg said:My thoughts on having the DC also taking a position are mixed.

GrizFan2011 said:The printed source should be the Missoulian but they haven't picked it up yet. All they have to do is ask Pflu. It's been out there ever since Delaney said he was retiring.

I'm guessing a certain former Griz coach that's currently an assistant coach for a MAC team.

Coaching stability is not a priority at UM and it doesn't look like that is changing anytime soon. Just keep taking chances on coaches who want to take pay cuts and hope it works out.Griz1 said:I hope it isn't Cole. He bounces around like a ping pong ball. This would be his 7th school in 12 years. I don't think that adds to a program's stability. Does he know offense? Yes. But I still don't think he is what we need. That's my opinion only and I'm sticking to it. Be thankful I don't make the decision. :lol:
