For once it looks like we aren't gonna be replacing any assistants in an offseason.
Based on how the year went I belive Clinkscale has met the incentive to have Co DC added to his title.
Speaking of the D. The changes to the staff made all the difference. Love Don Brown and his aggressiveness but he just didn't adjust to the adjustments made for his blitzes. In the Big 10 (or really any power 5 conference that isn't the Big 12) your response to getting your ass whooped by Ohio State cannot be get smaller and faster... cause then you become vulnerable against Sparty, Wisconsin, Penn State, Iowa, ect.
Loved Mike Zordich as a CB coach bur he just couldn't/didn't recruit. The his of Bob Shoop and the USF DC (forget his name) didn't work and were remedied in off season.
Coach Macdonald had some growing pains this year (mainly against tempo with subbing) but I think his schemes really helped. Bellamy, Clinkscsle, and Hellow were great additions to thr staff. Just more energy and better recruiting.
Offensively again adding guys like Mike Hart and Zack Weiss helped a lot. There were rumblings that Warriner (old OL coach and run game coordinator) was actively sabotaging Josh Gattis his first 2 years... and honestly the fact that Warriner went from Michigan to FAU kind of shows that.
