    Tony Hughes Retained

    Bruce Feldman reporting that Hughes will be retained by Leach. What we all thought would happen but glad for it

    Very good decision by Coach Leach. We needed to keep Tony. Glad to see this!

    Home run!

    Now we just need to get our DC and his staff.

    It was a no brainer and honestly, I'm surprised it took this long. I would've liked to have seen us keep Shoop and T Buck though but Shoop is apparently gone to coach under another weirdo at Michigan.

    I have been told that Terrell Buckley will be retained as well, barring something unforeseen

    Is it safe to assume that Hughes is sliding back to safeties then? Shoop was safety coach and it seems more likely that Hughes would slide to defense on a Leach staff.

    Probably so since Leach let's his DC just be the DC at least in title.

    Sounds like Leach has his DC if decisions are being made on that side of the call

    Dead period is over and he's on the road, had to get this out there as official he's on the staff.

    Hughes is the kind of guy you retain no matter what and tell the DC he will be on his staff. He's just too important to recruiting and in-state ties.

    I don't get the TBuck love. Seems like a good dude, but the only time I remember our secondary being really good is when Sweat & Simmons were causing the QB to make quick decisions. Is he a great recruiter?

    Please tell me Peterson has been retained and promoted (hopefully).

    He's definitely been retained. He's been on the road recruiting all day today. Been to see Jaden Walley, Alex Adams, and Armondous Cooley that I've seen on Twitter.

    I think he's pretty good. Dantzler was recruited by him and is now going to be in the NFL. Dantzler, Smitherman, and Peters were good last year. He found Martin Emerson who looks like he is going to be good. He helped us land Emmanuel Forbes this year. All corners are going to get beat some. It happens.

    This may be why we are waiting on the DC hires. Assuming that we hired Hughes and T-Buck that means we can put guys like Peterson and Rod Gibson on the road to recruit.

    Who is coaching special team? Has that been announced? That would be a good one for Peterson to move up to if we moved him to the field.

    Where did this Buckley is returning stuff come from, is this some Rosey stuff?

    No idea where it originates or if it's even true. That's why I said assuming. Sounds like it's coming from fans though. It's plausible- but I haven't seen it confirmed by any media members or anything like that.
