Should we try to poach a coach or two?

I was partially joking. Although i'm over the moon about Saturday's outcome, one game does not a trend make. He's made a lot of bone headed decisions over the years but am excited about the potential for "this" Gus. He seems to be on an upswing but I'll need more consistency before I forgive or forget the last 3 years.

Be surprised if Horton is still an the staff next season. If he does leave, would Porter become the RB coach. Then would need a TE/HB coach. Beginning Jan 9, 2018 teams can add a 10th on-field assistant. I believe a dedicated special teams coach would be a great addition.

Terry Price? If aTm has coaching turnover.  He’s very good at recruting very good DE coach.  Could help coach Garner working with the bucks.

IMO, we should strongly consider looking into hiring a new Receiver coach and a special teams coach. Those two have been our weak link during this season. During the past few games, our special teams haven't been able to cover punts nor kickoff worth a darn. As for the wide receivers, there's been a great deal of talk on this board about how Kodi Burns should be replaced.

I’d give Kodi more time.  He’s probably a little over paid but we pay our coaches well.  Every team needs a couple young coaches the players can relate to. 

Remember our “old man” Ellis defensive staff.  The players couldn’t relate to those old guys.  Seems coach T-will is brings that relationship for the defense as well.  And as much as we bang on Kodi, Travis is just as inexperienced.  Trust me coach Steele helps Travis a lot with the linebackers.

Steele is amazing how the younger guys relate to him and I have to admit I never saw that happening

I'm sure whoever is coordinating ST didn't request 3rd stringers and walk-ons. The solution there is to change to players who have sufficient physical attributes and know how to take proper pursuit angles.

I remember questioning how fired up he could get the D earlier last year. I saw a video of him getting the players ready in the locker room and I had chills and tears. Such a pleasant surprise. 

Tray Matthews bear hugging him after the game gave me all the feels.
