I thought we were told he would have autonomy to run his defense the way he wanted to run, not exactly pick his defensive assistants.Quote:

Is it ever known for a HC to go to his AD and say, "Hey, we need this dude. So we need $300,000 more to the package"?Quote:

His LB coach could replace Marve. But that could be the hold up potentially.Quote:

He brought PJ Volker & Kevin Downing with him to Navy from Kennesaw. We have room for 1 but if Phelps is coming like I heard then that's it. If Phelps wasn't coming then he could bring both.Quote:

Something to consider with these defensive hires:
The quicker we hire defensive guys, the quicker Gibson & Peterson have to come off the road.
Read between the lines here
He went back to Annapolis to sit on his ass & not have to recruit so that Peterson & Gibson can lock up the classQuote:

I don't think any of them other than Brock have been officially hired. I guess if we work out something with the Navy DC he will bring his guys and if not it will be Leach's guys and someone like Rocky Long.Quote:
