Sounds like we are getting an experienced DC

Anything on special teams?

Nothing but with Manny stating earlier that there is 1 more defensive hire coming, it will have to go to one of the assistant coaches that he hires. Sounds like there won't be a dedicated STs coach since he only has 5 more coaches he can hire (presumably OC, QB, WR, OL and TE) unless the OC also takes on the WR or QB coaching responsibility.

Whoever it is will inherit one heck-fire of a unit

DE Garvin, Rousseau, Patchan, Joyner, Harvey, Williams, Munoz

DT Silvera, Ford, Bethel, Miller, Blissett, Holley, Martin

LB Quarterman, Pinckney, Finley, McCloud, Jennings, Steed, Wilder, Brooks, Huff

CB Bandy, Ivey, Blades, Frierson, Bethel, Couch

S Carter, Hall, D. Smith, K. Smith, Knowles, Murphy
 
I agree it could be either of these guys and most likely Baker since Fran may get the Temple HC job. However, whoever it is there has to be a change/demotion to the current defensive staff. We only got 10 spots. If it is Fran, means Rumphs gone. If it’s Baker, means Patke May have to go back to being a GA. Let’s assume it’s Fedora OC and Baker DC.

HC-D ***
OC-Fedora
WR
RB

OL
TE-Fedora*

DC-Baker
DL-Simpson
CB-Rumph
DB-Banda
LB-Baker*

We can’t bring in anyone on defense and make no changes on that side of the ball unless not only OC but another position coach is in charge of multiple positions plus special teams. I could see Diaz handling Special Teams or Striker.
No because the oc will likely take 2 spots as oc and a position group. So that would be 5 on offense and 5 on defense.

Rok, You forgot Munoz.
 
How bout we get whoever is coaching D at Ransom. Sure, everyone would be dropping 50 on us, but Uncle Puke would die of a heart attack with this move. Think long term.

I included the OC and DC taking up 2 spots. Which leaves 5 on offense and 4 on defense (not including striker position or ST). Last spot goes to the HC, unless the rule is 10 coaches plus the HC.

You can probably add Bogle to this list.

I pretty sure if Baker came it would be the same when Diaz was here. Baker coaches LB and Pakte coaches outside OLB/striker

Manny completely avoiding Pitfall 101 in Head Coaching of loyalty to staff is a such a welcoming sign. After Golden and Richt I don't ever want to see that mistake again.
Especially no nepotism. It happened with the Bowdens, and same with Richt.
