Loeffler and other staff shake ups official

After letting everyone else report it, BC finally announced that Addazio hired Scot Loeffler as his new Offensive Coordinator. He joins the team after three seasons with Virginia Tech. Loeffler will also coach QBs. Included in the press release were some other staff changes. Justin Frye received a promotion and will now be run game coordinator and Oline coach. That is not too surprising. It gives a young coach a little more pay and little more responsibility. Brian White moves to Running Backs coach. Todd Fitch moves back to Wide Receivers coach. Fitch's demotion supposedly ruffled feathers, but how can it be a surprise? We had the worst offense in college football. Something had to be done. I wouldn't like to lose Fitch as a recruiter, but cannot blame him if he leaves.

Ben Alberts also received a promotion. This move surprised me as I had heard that he was on the hotseat somewhat for not producing more on the recruiting trail. Al Washington moves back to Defense as an Outside LB coach and also takes on Special Teams. I would like to see Washington stay on one side of the ball so that he can eventually be groomed for a coordinator spot.

While I believe that Loeffler, Frye and Alberts' roles are all set in stone, I think the others are all still in pencil. BC still has one open staff position. Based on need, you assume it will be a defensive backs coach, but whoever they find could set in play another shift. Also, if Fitch does leave, some of the Offensive guys could get moved.

I believe that you need to define "the worst offense in college football". "Worst" is relative. You need to compare it to something such as bilge water. Obviously, things can only get better. Doesn't Bates evaluate Addazio? How about posting the evaluation worth 2.6 million?

I'm pretty sure "the worst offense in college football is self-explanatory," as in the worst compared statistically to the other 126 teams that played in the FBS.

Or, maybe Tom Brady knows what he's talking about. Maybe Loeffler made Brady better, and prepared him to take advantage of the opportunity he got. Maybe without Loeffler's help, Brady would be selling razor blades for Gilette instead of playing it its stadium.

Al Washington

Concerned w/ him handling S.Ts. to Al. Our kicking game has been just horrendous the last 2 years. I know Al has a great reputation, but what could he know about kicking? I'd rather see someone there w/ some real bona fides. The first thing I thought of when the Vikings missed was us. On the bright side, he's supposed to be our best recruiter, maybe he can find someone w/ the stones to handle the job properly.
