Gill Adjusts Titles for 4 Assistant Coaches
January 29, 2014
Liberty Head Football Coach Turner Gill has adjusted titles and some responsibilities for four members of his coaching staff.
Adjusted Titles for Members of Liberty's Football Coaching Staff:
Josh Bookbinder – Linebackers coach
Joe Dailey – Pass Game Coordinator/Quarterbacks coach
Jamaal Fobbs – Special Teams Coordinator/Running backs coach
Robert Wimberly – Defensive Coordinator/Safeties coach
...Part of the issue with the Flames’ special teams was that there were too many fingers in the pie, so to speak. Flames coach Turner Gill began the season as the special teams’ coordinator before ultimately delegating bits of responsibility to a number of assistant coaches.
“I guess I kind of fired myself,” he said with a chuckle.
Between punting, the field-goal unit, kickoffs, coverage units, punt returns and kickoff returns, Fobbs will have his hands full trying to stabilize a unit that is of critical importance.
Those minute breakdowns in crucial moments last season showed just how important special teams are. They can be the difference between a playoff run and sitting at home at season’s end.
