Huge recruiting upgrades by Freeman and Washington is at least on par with Elston as a coach, IMO. Love that he’ll be back to coaching the DL, rather than the linebackers.
Time to offer Tony Alford the AHC coach position that Elston held, coupled with RB coach and the run game coordinator title that Lance Taylor held.
IMO, the ideal staff composition would be…
Head Coach / Linebackers: Marcus Freeman
Defensive Coordinator / Safeties: Doug Belk
Recruiting Coordinator / Corners: Mike Mickens
Special Teams Coordinator / Rovers: Brian Mason
Defensive Line Coach / Run Game Coordinator: Al Washington
Special Assistant (Linebackers): Chris O’Leary
Offensive Coordinator / Quarterbacks: Tom Rees
Associate Head Coach / Run Game Coordinator / Running backs: Tony Alford
TE Coach / Pass Game Coordinator: John McNulty
Wide Receivers: Chansi Stuckey
Offensive Line Coach: Harry Hiestand
Defensive Analyst (Offensive Line): Chris Watt
Offensive Analyst (Linebackers): James Laurinaitis.
Director of Recruiting (Admin): Chad Bowden
Offensive Recruiting Coordinator (Admin): Dre Brown
Defensive Recruiting Coordinator (Admin): Yet to be hired
That would be an excellent staff, IMO.
