Once a young Empy dipped his full face in a mud puddle like that with chem grear and panicked because he couldn't breathe. Like flailing like a chicken panicked.

Training NCO: You know that isn't scuba gear right? But I like your enthusisasm. Get up and get off my ******* obstacle.

Empy: Yes Sergeant!!

If he can snag the Saquons and Revis's of that area I am cool with it. I like the hire cause I already know this dude will do 20 hours of work, he already has that military background and them boys work. Mario will recruit and he will push them to the max and thats what Mario wants.

Idt he's that kinda hire. He's a hardass discipline guy more then a recruiter.

I am cool with that as long as the HC is a closer, if this were a past coach it would be bad imo. But fit matters

Near Bloomsberg. And you're right about the coal. Several mines there have been on fire for decades. Looks cool in the winter.

The coach was a legend around here. They actually had a pretty good yr this yr. But the region been down with top notch talent for a while.

Earn respect thru action. Can’t argue with that mentality

Agreed, there is variation and modernization that has taken root. As Mario has made abundantly clear: he’s not trying to time travel to bring the past to the present.

I want Fletcher and Pringle on the field together; and Lofton can help clear the way for them. He can also catch outs and curls, too. Likewise with our RBs getting more involved.

Calhoun was Kubiak’s 1st OC in Houston after working with him on the Broncos; then accepted the Air Force job. Davis left after 2022, during the 2022 season, he relinquished offensive line responsibilities while Viti switched over from RBs to offensive line.

He worked under two other offensive coordinators after Davis left: Drew Thatcher and Cody Worley. Sneaky passing concepts as you mentioned; Dawson was a GA, only in 2005, when Thatcher was playing WR for Hal Mumme at New Mexico State.

In 2021, Viti is listed as having been the running backs coach instead of the fullbacks coach for the first time; fullbacks coach for the prior 5 seasons. Titled assistant coach for the offense / offensive line in 2023. He was promoted to associate head coach / OL for the 2025 season.

Previously the TE coach, In 2023 & 2024, Matt Drikall (current Central Michigan head coach) worked the offensive line with Viti.

A lot of overlap between Upshaw, Dawson, and Viti.

Great research. These are incredible finds by mario(and dawson probably). Keeps staff continuity intact while guys who come from great cultures and can add schematically

Mario’s gonna get remarried and have this dude as his best man lol
