Brick Haley
Position:Linebackers
Experience:1st year
Alma Mater:Alabama A&M, 1989
Andrea “Brick” Haley begins his first season as Georgia Tech’s linebackers coach. He joined the Tech staff in February of 2002 after three seasons as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Baylor.
A native of Gadsden, Ala., Haley entered the college ranks, as the defensive line coach at Austin Peay State from 1991-93.
He became the defensive line coach at Troy State in 1994 and remained there through the 1996 season. He was named defensive coordinator after the 1996 season, but moved on to Houston to coach outside linebackers in 1997.
He coached outside linebackers at Clemson for one year (1998) before taking the position at Baylor.
Haley, 35, graduated from Emma Sansom High School in Gadsden in 1984, and played linebacker for Alabama A&M, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education with a minor in telecommunications in 1989.
He remained at Alabama A&M as a student assistant coach for spring practice, then became an assistant coach in 1989 at Enterprise (Ala.) High School, coaching tight ends.
He received a graduate assistant position at the University of Arkansas working with the defensive line in 1990, before taking his first full-time position at Austin Peay State.
Haley is married to the former Tina DeLaine. They have one son, A.J.
My thoughts and assessment:
Since he played the linebacker position, and has always coached it, he should be fine at that position. He has coached the linebackers at both Clemson and Baylor, so he is accustomed to the job in the number one division of football.
With a name like "Brick" for a linebacker's coach, how could he go wrong?
