Here’s the current staff and responsibilities:
1. Brian Ward Defensive Coordinator
2. Sean Lewis Co-Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks
3. Mike Lynch Co-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line
4. Kim McCloud Assistant Head Coach/Wide Receivers
5. Tom Kaufman Special Teams Coordinator/Linebackers
6. Reno Ferri Tight Ends
7. Mike Hart Running Backs
8. Nick Monroe Secondary
9. Vinson Reynolds Defensive Line
If #10 is added on offense, I’d remove the co-coordinator designations and promote one to full-time coordinator (give the other a meaningless AHC title for consolation if needed). Then bring in one more to have dedicated QB and Line coaches.
If #10 is added on defense, I’d split the secondary into Cornerback and Safety coaches. I’d prefer that one of these is also the Special Teams coach instead of the LB coach, as they should be able to cover for each other when the coach is working with specials.
I think the second option of adding a 5th coach on the D-side has the most benefit. However, didn't Dino use multiple WR coaches in the past? Inside/outside or something like that?
I think it's pretty common for the OC to also be the QB coach. I can't see Dino messing with his offensive coaches and neither would be happy to lose that OC title, it's what they were at BG. If it aint broke dont fix it.
He did have inside / outside WR at BG, Andrew Sowder. I believe Reno could do that combining TEs. (I thought he might hire the former Baylor kid back, but it looks like Sowder was just named San Jose State OC.)
Id hire an ACE recruiter and put him on defense.
