At least 4 new assistants coaches will be announced - Barry

[The Franchise]

Does Jon Richt count as an assistant coach or does he fall under the support staff, which allows us to hire an additional coach?

Sounds to me like he's going to be a coach even though he's been given a nebulous title. If he's coaching in practice, then he counts.

Given his title, he won't go against our coach numbers

Support staff wouldn't be listed as a "coaching hire". He'd be called support staff.

Not sure - the article put out by the school says they are added to the coaching staff, and if you look at the current coaching staff on the athletics site, the quality control, grad assistants and support staff are included.

I guess we're going to need clarification on this one.

Re: Kevin Beard. Why shouldn't he be back? Look at how much better we were at WR this year than last. Our kids took major strides.

Richt released him to seek other opportunities, but also said if Beard wants he will interview him
Which I guess means if Beard wants to stay he'll have to sell himself OR Richt already has his position filled and he might fit in elsewhere.
