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.
