Brady Hoke said during his press conference that the rest of this staff will be completed by Monday.
The rumor mill has been running with a couple of names, so I will let you know what I'm hearing.
Potential New DB Coach is Curt Mallory. Michigan fans are familiar with the Mallory name. Dad Bill was the head coach at Colorado, Northern Illinois, and Indiana. Son Mike Mallory was a Michigan LB from 82-85 and currently coaching on the Super Bowl Champions New Orleans Saints. Curt Mallory is currently the DC for Akron and has a lot of experience coaching DB's at stops at Ball State, CMU, Indiana, and Illinois. As you can see it seems Curt worked with Brady at Ball State.
Potential new DL Coach is Jerry Montgomery who seems to be a hot young coach and was just hired at Indiana a few weeks ago. Before joining the staff at IU, Jerry spent two years as the DL coach at Wyoming and a couple years at Northern Iowa in the same role. Jerry is a former defensive lineman at Iowa and had a cup of coffee in the NFL. He also played a couple of seasons in the arena league, so he knows how the play the ball off the net! Jerry is just 30 years old and should be a great asset in communicating with players and on the recruiting trail.
On the ironic side, Jerry would have been working for Doug Mallory the new DC at Indiana.
