I'm pretty surprised we haven't seen any rumors in the past 48 hours on targeted coaches besides the UM S+C coach.

I thought Brian Urlacher was going to coach LBs ... :oops:

We need assistants who are hungry and will work their asses off in recruiting, in the hope that it will lead to a promotion to a coordinator gig in a few years. Taylor and Holecek have nothing to prove at this point in their lives.

I know everyone is hungry for some staff news. Hearing we will have to wait another 24 hours at least before we start getting some announcements.

BB is waiting until after Christmas to start announcing his staff.

Im told we have a Linebackers coach and a DB coach lined up, but BB wants his DC announced 1st.

Robinson supposedly had the terms (contract) he was agreeable to, but now is saying another school has “upped” their offer my source within the A.D. says... those are standard negotiation tactics for a heavily sought-after assistant.

So just try and enjoy your Holiday fella’s!! I like the Family 1st feel BB is giving this program that I heard about but didn’t really “feel” under Lovie!

Not only did we hire a nationally renowned football coach, but an all-around good person as well! 🙌🏼🔸🔹

He got into coaching when the olderst started high school and has been one of their coaches since (https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports...or-madison-join-st-thomas-20170330-story.html). Much more likely that he wants to keep coaching them in college than Holecek. Holecek was offered a spot on Lovie's staff and other staffs before and has said no. (https://www.news-gazette.com/sports...cle_bb49fcfb-0258-5e2a-a2cd-7d69020f2788.html) What reason would Holecek have to come on board now?
Maybe because his kids aren't out of the house yet.

After all this the only thing we know about the existing staff is that only two will no longer be here, Rod and Lou? We don't know about any of the others?
And to be apologetically rude but curious, anybody drive by Lovie's house to see if there is a for sale sign? Sorry, not to be meant in poor taste.

Thought he and his wife had an apartment downtown with month-to-month rent........

No, we know about the old staff. Everyone is gone except Patterson, Bellamy, and Jimmy Lindsey. Those 3 have a chance to interview for positions.

I'm not saying you're wrong (you might be, who knows), but you're definitely the king of unsolicited enthusiasm. Reminds me of this meme lol. Reliable as a coin flip, which is still right half the time!

respect my decision™
I believe Fulton Steamer is the nickname for those that attend Fulton, IL high school. Fulton is on the Mississippi across from Clinton, Iowa.

Good to know, thanks. Not gonna lie, thought it might be something a bit more...exotic.
