So I have a theory...
With the impending rehire of Coach Viney, I have a theory of how our (defensive) staff may turn out come January/February '19. Here they are:

- Bob Diaco. Being a former LB himself (Iowa) and as a coach (Eastern/Western Michigan, Virginia, Cincinnati and Notre Dame) he has the credentials. Reminds me of a new version of Venables and I predict him taking over the LB coordinator position as well as Co-DC with...
- Cooks. BY FAR our best recruiter and young/enthusiastic defensive mind the players will love to play for and give their all. Leaving the DB coordinator to...
- Chip Viney. Up-and-comer coordinator who can recruit, build relationships and continue to get experience as a coordinator like he was at Nevada.
- Ruffin remains on staff one more year before leaving the entire DL coaching responsibilities to Thibs where he can continue to thrive in recruiting and HOPEFULLY developing the players.
Just my opinion of LR staying one step ahead of everyone and having a smooth transition come Spring '19. This is why he was hired. Guy is the next great coach of a generation and is a genius.
What do y'all think?
