Keith Gaither is new WR coach, from ECU, which canned their coach. He was the passing game coordinator. Also coached WRs at Ball State for four years. Played DB at Elon.

I agree. This shows that Lester is branching out and finding qualified coaches for our program.
Looking good.

Am kind of hoping that in not hiring a DL coach, it means Coach Esposito will be relying on Steven to help out in those duties.

That would be an amazing opportunity for him.
Fingers crossed!

Coach Trevor Andrews: "William & Mary has perennially been a top 10 defense in the nation and Trevor blew us away in the interviews," Lester said. "He has put people in the NFL as a defensive backs coach, a linebacker coach and as a defensive line coach, which is pretty rare."
