Sure, Right now Long is penciled-in to coach LBs but that's why they make erasers. Coach Long could probably coach any position, but seems to have the most experience with DB and LB. Which means we could bring in a LB coach and have Long coach the safeties. the safety position(s) might be the most intricate position(s) in the 3-3-5. All three safeties have different roles in the defense. And those roles can change depending on your personnel. Years ago at New Mexico Long converted a young linebacker to what we call the rover position. That player was Brian Urlacher who went on the become a Hall of Fame linebacker. On a side note, the DC on the that team was Bronco Mendenhall. Long: DC/LB or DC/S New Coach: S or LB. I trust Long to put the best staff possible together. Go Orange! [/QUOTE]
