Maybe it is SOP, but I like that Jamison mentioned one of his next steps is to contact all the DL’s parents and loved ones. Really speaks to creating a family atmosphere and accountability to the families.

It's likely SOP, but going out of your way to mention it isn't.
This is someone who wants people to know relationships are important to them.

You might be thinking of another Aaron....Moorehead...WR coach for Philly
Great hire! Still got WR to fill and I think the last spot will be another defensive coach.
BU:1 Trash cans:0
- Chicago
He was discussed earlier in this thread as a hire who wouldn't be announced until after the DC hire. People seemed generally positive on him.
- Urbana
How bout a rundown of the new staff on Def and Off.....list perhaps.
Along with each of their strengths...please and thank you
OC:Tony Petersen
OL: Bart Miller
RB: C Patt
WR:
TE: Ben Miller
DC: Ryan Walters
DL: Terrance Jamison
LB: Andy Buh
DB: Aaron Henry
I’d assume Ben Miller and another coach take on the special teams and we hire another DL coach or LB coach

I’ll give you my thoughts on each hire when the whole staff is filled out? If that works
Nice to have Aaron onboard. However, I'm a little surprised he left Izzo hanging like this in the middle of the Big 10 season. Still, I'll put my faith in Bielema making the right call!
Another article I just found called Henry a "proven recruiter and technician." That sounds good to me!!

Aaron Henry was named on 247's College Football's Rising Stars: The 30Under30 back in 2018.
He's a pretty strong recruiter. He's done pretty well at getting quality recruits at less desirable universities. Also is probably going to be the point person for the Southeast: has commits from Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.

Just win games.
This is a hell of a coaching staff.
I had discussed him fairly thoroughly.
TL;DR - DBs will love his personality, decent recruiter. I have reservations about his actual coaching ability as I never saw a significant improvement from his players at NC State.
I think he is amazing guy personally and wish him well, just not sure how effective he will be.
Pairing him with Walters could be a really good thing then.
More importantly, does Aaron Henry happen to know Ryan Nolan or Mays Willy?
I hope you are right at least half the time. LOL
I've heard his cousin is dating Free Willy
Any ideas on who those might be??
The only one I’ve really had a pulse on was the DB hire. Think there is a chance Bellamy stays at WR, Aaron Motörhead might really be in play and possibly the broncos WR coach. For the last hire I think it depends on if he wants an inside LBs coach to go along with Buh or not.
