Not going to be Helfrich, he was hired today as Chicago Bears OC. http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago-be...ith-mark-helfrich-chris-tabor-as-coordinators
I'm confused.....Carrington is promoted to the 10th coaching position and we follow that up by hiring an 11th coach titled quality control coach? I thought we could only have 10 coaches.
A little about Mazzone courtesy of fandom at his previous employer: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2605857-new-texas-am-oc-noel-mazzone-perfect-fit-for-the-aggies
Two brilliant moves by Herman! This season may not have played out the way I wanted, but I am loving Herman's first off-season (first real off-season at least). We currently have a top 3 recruiting class (with a bunch of guys on campus early), an ace recruiter added to the coaching staff to help close out, and now a former OC and NFL coach as a QC coach!! Amazing job by Herman after coming off our first bowl win in years!!
The quality control coach isn't a position coach, more like an assistant, assistant coach. So he doesn't count as a 10th assistant coach.
The non-official coaches can’t eat at the lunch table with the players or call recruits. I just made that up by the way.
The Quality Control Coach usually is the one who does the film breakdowns. They can't do any off campus recruiting since they aren't one of the 10 official coaches.
Beck is the beneficiary of this as Mazzone was Herman's boot into Beck's a$$. Herman doesn't look good in this as evidently everyone but Herman knew that if Sumlin snagged another HC job Mazzone would follow him like a puppy. Carrington will stay the 10th coach so who is Herman going to drag in as QC?
I don't think there is a limit on Quality Control Coaches. I imagine Herman will find someone who can contribute at a high level.
Mazzone now headed to Arizona to be OC for Sumlin. http://arizonasports.com/story/1378054/report-kevin-sumlin-retain-marcel-yates-noel-mazzone-arizona/
