Who is he? Background?

Former Chargers OL coach, there's a write up on the Depot.

Also read where AMOS JONES our special teams coach will be heading to Arizona for that same position, and former d-lineman Brentson Buckner will coach their D-line.
Boy the Cards love the Burgh, no wonder they call them pgh. West.

A lot of coaches get hired at the Senior Bowl. This would not surprise me.

Does Amos need help packing? I'll gladly drive back to the burgh and give him a hand.

Damn, ravens got Castillo, wasn't he a pretty good off. line coach before he went to the defense? Seems like the ravens just keep loading up. I hope our FO finds a gem.

I wonder if Buckner was the coach at camp this year that was a monster! Told everyone I was with that dang that coach is a huge and makes some players look bad. I mean he looked like he could play today. Did not know till this story broke that he has interned for the steelers since 2010.

If the Hunter hire happened, then good move by Tomlin...

He's another very solid coach who has a good history with helping young players to develop...

That being said, it's still up to Marcus Gilbert to stop being thrown around and endangering the knee ligaments of his teammates...

Yeah, he was a pretty well regarded offensive line coach until he was inexplicably chosen to be the defensive coordinator.

If I am not mistaken, Hal served as the OC last year too. I'm sure he had alot to do with the OL after the promotion and his patchwork OL seemed to hold its own against the Steelers. They kept talking about how the injuries decimated their OL but they played well against us. If true, I would say it has to be at the least a lateral hiring. Maybe some upside? We will find out. He has a group that averages 23 years old...His impact (positive or negative) on them will be seen early.

He's got to be willing to put in the work. He needs to get stronger and work on his technique all off-season. He gets complacent with any amount of success.

Maybe there was a lot of that going on with our Steelers....
