Most of the coaches I know like him very well. He'll have a chance to work with Butch (DL Coach for years), most of the years spent by Butch was on the Defensive side of the ball. Joe Rob will pad his resume.

I got the call when he was hired by some friends, they all like him as a coach and person. A loyal coach. Best of luck to Joe Rob.....

Remember Joe was in the ear of Les for every game. I'd like to see Steve Ensminger in his ear now. Steve has a good feel for the game, Billy Gonzales also could be a good one to have near. But someone like the TE's coach (Whos been an OC), can focus on the small parts of the game more.

Any names? I know Haywood wanted it.

Just a note on Mikes old staff:

quote:
A number of assistant coaches that served on Mike Haywood’s staff at Miami (OH) are still searching for new jobs. Most of the coaches were expected to follow Haywood to Pitt after helping Miami (OH) win 10 games including a convincing bowl win over MTSU. Haywood, as you know, didn't last very long at Pitt. When Miami (OH) hired former Michigan State offensive coordinator Don Treadwell as head coach, Treadwell retained only one staff member from Haywood’s regime. Deland McCullough was promoted from offensive / special teams intern to running backs coach. Former offensive line coach Bill Mottola told Cincinnati.com , "I understand what's going on, but I don't think everybody understands the actual human factor. I've applied for unemployment and food stamps and all that ... stuff I was hoping I would never have to do." "It's tough to tell your kids. Look what happens when you work toward a goal, you reach it, then you're out of a job. You're not guaranteed anything." Those coaches still searching for their next job include Mottola, Bill Elias (linebackers / assistant head coach), Carl Reese (defensive coordinator / linebackers), JD Vonderheid (tight ends), KiJuan Ware (running backs), and Antoine Smith (defensive line). "People keep asking me if I'm mad, but I'm not," added Mottola. "I know the situation, and I still can't see myself doing anything but coaching. It's all I know." As one of the coaches said, “I’m not so much worried about me as I am my little one. Not know what’s next is difficult.”
