Word in San Antonio is that Joe Danna or Willie Martinez could end up on the Auburn staff.

DB coaches?  Anyone else hearing this?

This is a decent site.  Though no one had CBVG coming to the good guys so who knows how much real info is out there!

Ok, someone break out some bios and (of course) opinions....

Would not surprise me if VanGorder wanted Martinez at all.

Well we have 3 threads going on about the same thing. 

MODS: feel free to merge

I won't complain

WIllie Martinez was the secondary coach when BVG was DC at UGA.. sorry for all the acronyms

Martinez and BVG are supposedly pretty tight.

[bigbird 60,590]

Prior to joining the Dolphins, Danna spent two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons as a defensive assistant (2008-09)

I would be ok with either one, I think.....I just hope a move like this wouldn't cost us Coach Thigpin.

I might take Danna, just for the youth edge.

[AEAugirl 9,635]

So, if BVG coaches linebackers, and now we are rumored to be looking at DB coaches....

What does that mean for Thigpen?  Really don't want to lose him, he is a great coach and recruiter!

[msg6367 1]

When I google Joe Danna, there's a QB from 2005 at Blinn College.  I'm assuming this is not him.

[Velvet Beavis 15]

Looks like Danna has been everywhere BVG has been, almost.

[AuburnWarVet 46]

I would like either one, but as someone else here said how would that affect Thig?  Maybe he gets to move over and coach LBs? 

It seems like to me though, my personal opinion, that Lolley is all but done coaching, at least while CGC is here.

Is it confirmed that VanGorder will be a position coach as well? Is still possible we move Thigpen and take a secondary coach. Or are we hiring these guys as safeties coaches?

Has UNC completed its entire staff yet??  I still think they may want him over there.

1.  It could mean Lolly back to the front office.  Thig to LB's and Martinez/Danna to coach DB's (this is still the same number of defensive coaches.  The DC is just not a position coach anymore under this scenario).

2.  It could mean Lolly back to the front office and Martinze/Danna to coach Corner's (Lolly's position) and Thig stays with Safeties.  CBVG coaches LB's.

[AuburnWarVet 46]

I am not sure but I really like the fact that Martinez's secondarys have been quite impressive. 

[Browning4AU 405]

Unless one coaches CBs and the other Safeties....kinda like it's set up now?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[El_Cid2001 0]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No to what?

Bringing in another secondary coach and moving Lolly into an administrative role?  Why not?

Willie Martinez's Defenses sucked worse than Ted Roof's. 65 points last year ring a bell? Or getting smoked by RGIII this year?

There has to be better candidates out there than this!
