January 17, 201313 yr comment_114136 I talked to my friend today, as I thanked him for the Trestman information. He let me in on another thing: expect them to hire Pat Meyer, who is the OL/Running Game Coordinator at Colorado State. There hasn't been a title given yet but expect him to be a RB coach or maybe the OL coach even. Sometime in December, he was hired by the Alouettes. Report

I believe Kromer was designated as the OC and OLine coach, so RB's coach and or Running Game Coordinator would make sense. Now we just need some intel on the DC. Hoke? Report
January 17, 201313 yr Author comment_114171 Right, sorry. I totally forgot Kromer got the OC/OL title, so yes, maybe he'll be the RB coach. I've read others say it'll be Hoke's job if Marinelli leaves, but I wouldn't be so fast to assume that. That's not saying it won't happen but I think it's far from a slam dunk. Report
January 17, 201313 yr Author comment_114216 Biggs just tweeted this. You're welcome (again). Also, Andy Bischoff, one of Trestman's top assistants, is going to join the staff as well, per Zaidman. Admins, can you edit the title? His last name is Meyer. Report

January 17, 201313 yr comment_114219 What position is Bischoff involved in? From their website: 2012 - Bischoff is in his fifth season with the Alouettes working as the running backs coach, the assistant to the Head Coach Marc Trestman and enters his third year as Special Teams Coordinator. Report
January 17, 201313 yr comment_114220 If Marinelli leaves then I would atleast make a phone call to Butch Davis and see if he wants back in the NFL.He too is considered a great DL coach and some of the prospects he developed at UNC are starting to get notcie in the league plus he is adept at the 4-3 scheme.

What does everyone think of the number of ex-CFL coaches coming over? I'm indifferent. I'd rather see more NFL guys filling out his staff, but I also want coach to fill his staff with people he knows and trusts. Report

I really don't know the background of these guys but to be honest many coaches hire assistants who have only been assistant coaches at the college level and nobody blinks an eye most of the time. At least these guys have dealt with professional players so I'm not worried about it. Report

Outside of OC and DC I'm indifferent on who he brings in...Assistant OL coach doesn't sound too important, didn't even know lhe position existed. Report

Since the main OL coach is also the OC, they'll need a 2nd person to handle the O-line players on the sidelines on gameday. Report
