So we added a Strength and Conditioning Coach. Any news on the other positions? Wasn’t there some sort of coaching convention last week that would have allowed for networking, recruiting, and hiring assistant coaches?

I’m not _worried_ about the staff but am eager to have the staff filled, hear the names, and have them out there on the recruiting trail!

Can pencil in Ashfield at OL. And remember that there are now 10 assistant coaching slots available, giving a little more flexibility. Coordinators will usually have a position group they are responsible for, too.

It also lists 4 quality control, 2 offensive and 2 defensive GAs, 1 assistant recruiting coordinator, and 2 on video. That seems equivalent to last year, if the media guide was right. So it doesn't look like any new positions have been filled in those areas yet.

Under the new NCAA rules, starting on January 9th, each football program is allowed 1 head coach and 10 assistant coaches. After Coach Bloomgren we seem to have:
(1) Jerry Mack - Offensive Coordinator
(2) Brian Smith - Defensive Coordinator
(3) Joe Ashfield - Offensive Line
(4) Mike Kershaw - something on offense
(5) AJ Steward - Running Backs (does anyone know if this is permanent, or if he was just kept on longer than other Bailiff assistants?)
(6) Scott Vestal - Safeties (does anyone know if this is permanent, or if he was just kept on longer than other Bailiff assistants?)
(7) ???
(8) ???
(9) ???
(10) ???

Or if you look by position, realizing some coaches will have multiple responsibilities:
HC: Mike Bloomgren
Assistant HC:
Recruiting Coordinator:
Special Teams Coordinator:

Offense:
OC: Jerry Mack
OL: Joe Ashfield
QB: Mike Kershaw?
RB: AJ Steward
WR:
TE:

Defense:
DC: Brian Smith
CB:
Saf: Scott Vestal
LB:
DL:
