You think that means we may try to cover people next year?Before he became ST coach he had always coached DB's at his previous schools.

What will often happen in these cases is one coach will take the Ts & TEs, the other the Cs & Gs, or it might be split between Strong & Weak Side.... in any case, there is a lot more individual attention given to technique, footwork, and assignments.
In short, you tend to have fewer blown assignments, fewer penalties - I swear it wasn't a GT FB game without a certain departing un-named OL getting his mandatory 15 yard holding/tripping/personal foul penalty - etc.
Usually one OL coach works the booth, the other the sideline. Given Sewak & Spencer's backgrounds with CPJ, and per the USNA Press Guide, Spencer's "Known for his intensity on the field..." I'd expect Sewak in the booth & Spencer on the sidelines.
Only 8 more months til fall practice!

CPJ said he doesn't want any coach to be responsible for more than 3 starters.
Considering that Sewak's title during both of Ga Southern's championship seasons under Johnson was OC, I'd say that's pretty much what has happened.This may work well for Paul Johnson to be OC and HC and it does work for some in major college coaching, but to be honest, I prefer head coaches hiring excellent cordinators on both sides of the ball.
Exactly. CPJ said he doesn't want any coach to be responsible for more than 3 starters. The only exception is Giff Smith but he will have I believe they said Mr. Burton helping him there. This per AJC. Sorry, I gotta run and can't link it.
I read where he said that
BUT THEN WHO IS COACHING THE SAFETIES?
I mean if Kelly is the CB's coach as his title suggests; BJ LB's, Giff DL with Burnett.....then where the heck do the safeties fall? If its kelly fine....then he would need help too right?
LOL....I hope you realize I am just poking fun...PJ's concept is coaches based on #s rather than units. Kinda like having 10 physics classes of 30 than 1 of 300. More time for individual instruction.
I think most understand that the B-Back is the same thing as the fullback. I do think it is interesting that they changed the title from Fullback Coach as he has used at Navy to B-Back coach. I would not be surprised if the nomenclature change was simply to have the question asked "what is a b-back" so they can show the current player/recruit that this is "not your grandmothers fullback". At GT, the FB ran it about as often as a solar eclipse...in this offense they can get 15-20 carries per game. It is essentially a big tailback. Heck...they get tackled almost every play whether they have the ball or not...or sometimes sneak right down the middle of the field for a long pass!
I think it is possible both of you are correct!! ;)
Actually, "your grandmother's fullback" is closer to what this fullback would be. Mayabe is isn't like "your mother's fullback". The fullback position at GT has been used as an H-back or TE in the backfield. But there was a day when fullbacks in lots of formations got the ball quite a bit. Remember Lynn Cain, William Andrews, Rocky Bleir, Franco Harris, etc.? FBs (and former FBs) used to do quite well in the NFL.
The FB in the Fridge's offense at GT got the ball quite a bit as well, considering that the same player often played both TB/RB and FB in different formations.
My point was that the first thing the kids we are recruiting today will think when they hear "fullback" is not at all what Paul Johnson means when he says "fullback".
Should have changed it to BEE-Back Coach.I agree with the crowd that believes this may be the very reason why they changed the name to 'B Back's Coach.'
