What is this

[OrangeandBlue]

Roberts was hired to be the coach of the coaches.

Napier said Ron Roberts will oversee the defense though Austin Armstrong will call plays. He said Roberts can "coach the coaches" in his role.

I listened to it on Twitter.

Call me negative if you want but I don't feel any better about us today than I did yesterday.

It was weird to hear, and to be honest, a strange set up.

Coach Napier said that Austin Armstrong is the defensive coordinator and will call the defensive plays. However, then added Coach Roberts is the head coach of the defense, which to me means he is the top dog on defense.

It sounds like Napier has an unlimited budget to hire as many staff/employees as he want.

Roberts taught Armstrong how this defense works. He's like his defensive daddy.

Great. Make Roberts the DC and let Armstrong answer to him.

Maybe it's a "true"assistant head coach so Napier can concentrate more on the offense.

He's squandered it on thus bunch.

So Armstrong answers to him?

 

[TJWarren]

My assumption is that is going to be his roll and also to coach the players as well.

They'll figure it out in the spring.

It's a upgrade to have Roberts over Bateman.
