Defensive position coaches...

[TigerProwl24 0]

How do you see our defensive staff shaking out? I think Martinez should coach DBs, Thigpen coach LBs, Pelton the interior line and leave our budding corp of ends to BVG. Lemonier has the potential to be a John Abraham type player.

To tell you the truth I'm not too sure myself.

Your scenario could end up coming true, or:

Thigpen - Safeties

Martinez - Corners

BVG - Linebackers

Pelton - DLine

But who knows at this point, it's up to Chizik and BVG to decide.

I believe this will be the more likely scenario.

It will either be the way you listed them or CBVG will be DC only without any position coaching responsibilities with Martinez coaching DB's, Thigpen coaching LB's and Pelton coaching the DL.

I would prefer this. Put Thigpen where he's supposed to be, Martinez is great as a secondary coach, and BVG will be able to look at the whole defense. Everybody does what they do best.

Agree completely- but I cannot think of a staff where the DC does not coach a position as well. Anybody help me out with that?

Pelton - D Line

Martinez- Secondary (w/Lolley still working with CBs in an off the field position, the way it use to be)

Thig- OLBs

BVG- ILBs

How can coach Lolley still coach the CB's since he's no longer on the field? I thought coach Martinez would be coaching all the DB's.

Lolley has helped out with CBs for a long long time. I don't anticipate that stopping he just won't be on the field.

Maritnez : Cornerbacks and Safties

Thigpen: Line Backers

Lapoi: DE

Pelton: DT

It's tough for the DC not to also be a position coach when the FBS staffs are limited to 1 HC, 9 Assistant Coaches and 2 GAs. The strength coach and the undergraduate coaches are not part of those restrictions.

I really hope BVG coaches the LBs.  He has coached LBs for the Jaguars and the Falcons. Thigpen has coached LBs at Tenn State and UNC.

[Mwideman 0]

yea meant thig/bvg Linebackers

[Mwideman 0]

Lapoi at DE was the eye opener on the list

:dunno:

Huh??

[chimesAU 89]

Guess I'm out of the loop...who's Lapoi?

[Btiger1982 6]

Tosh lopoi that used to be at Cal.

Didn't realize we'd picked him up.

We didn't. He's at Washington now.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

That's what I was thinking too.

what?

Strange that you'd include him and in a seperate post comment that he was the "eye opener " on the list.
