Thanks. What is his background ? Looks like he did not play at the collegiate level, a rarity.

Sonny Dykes, Mike Leach, and David Cutliffe, among other college head coaches, never played in college. Neither did Joe Gibbs, Charlie Weis, or Vic Fangio.

I think Gibbs did play at San Diego state and Sonny Dykes grew up with the game learning from his father. Supposedly, Mike Leach was recruited by BYU but a high school injury kept him from playing there.

Soooo! What do know almost for sure?
HC Curran 100% DC BV confirmed? ? ? ? ? Heard we'd know more after bowl games as some coaches were still coaching... I know there is a few left but... don't believe we're getting a top 2 program assistants...would be nice!!

š¤·āāļø Yeah, with the holidays and all, might have been a bit of over promising to imply that the assistants would be announced soon. Iām not concerned . . . . . . yet. š

The staff is complete. Just a matter of announcing them.

Looking forward to hearing the staff names as a New Year's gift...sooner rather than later...please! I remember hearing from several people (players included) that they bought into Coach Chesney the first time they heard him speak to the team. How is it for Coach Curran in that department? Any word? I hopethe team can start the new year with a solid foundation.

Well, per the website, we do at least have a Director of On Campus Recruiting - fresh off her 2023 graduation from Merrimack.

Yes, she Gab was hired under Chesney's staff. My guess is she will stay with Curran's staff.

I think Coach Curran will be involved. Coach Schell from Merrimack staff has changed his Twitter picture to HC. Was WR coach at Merr. Expect him to coach TEs at HC.

Based on Twitter activity it appears as though Denecke was at Western Illinois this past year.

Any reason why finding out the names of our current football coaching staff members need to be more complicated than solving a Rubik's Cube? Is this apparent secrecy benefitting anyone?

With Robbat, Vaganek, Cordova I think that rounds out the staff. I think you might see an additional asst secondary coach eventually too.

Some initial research....Brower, a former high school coach in Springfield, is a well regarded recruiter as well as Denecke, who received an endorsement from our own Chris Smith....Glad to see an emphasis on position coaches in the trenches.

Brower made Springfield Central HS into a D1 powerhouse in MA. Personally I think this is a great get for more than coaching. Very well connected with MA HS coaches statewide.
