One thing that concerns me is you can't win in this conference if you can't stop the option - read Citadel/Wofford every year...
With our DC Chad Staggs moving on (who led Charleston Southern to TWO victories over Citadel the year Citadel beat the Gamecocks! - he was GREAT at stopping the option) help me reconstruct where we are now on D with the coaches.
Yes, most is from our website.. just asking if this all looks correct:
- Duane Vaughn is now the DC as of 2019 .. he has been at FU since 2011 I think. He was on the offense / coaching TEs until 2014. Moved to working w safeties in 2015 and now OLBs in 17 and 18. I think he still works w OLBs in addition to being the DC?
- Josh Miller is still the DL coach in his 3rd year now? From Charleston Southern?
- Lamendola is in his third season with us coaching ILBs. He worked w ILBs at Air Force Prep for 2 years prior to FU.
- Corico Wright - Safeties.. big part of stopping option. Is he in his first year of coaching safeties? He was a CB coach at JMU (great program) for a year. coached CBs at Murray State for 2 years. Did coach as a GA at Clemson working with the secondary. Looks like he played LB at Clemson. Not sure how much experience he has w safeties specifically?
- Ojong. Our new CB coach. Was CB coach at Austin Peay after being a defensive grad assistant at UNC. Prior to UNC worked on the D side of ball at Memphis and West Georgia
Is all of that right or what do I have wrong? Thanks for input - In part, I am just keeping this so I can look at it during the year.
