You do Realize some times some titles are given to to peers to sound nice when really the the lead janitor title was change to CO-Executive Janitor but in reality the National Janitorial Boss told the worker below the Janitor to call the shots !New Mexico State promotes former assistant Ghaali Muhammad-Lankford to OC / WRs coach. Former WR coach at ISU and one of the "co-OC's" so many of us couldn't stand (including me).
I’m getting my youngest a custom t-shirt that says “Quesadilla Inspector”. He’s very discerning with regards to texture and softness/crispiness, and will now have a lofty title to match his exigency.You do Realize some times some titles are given to to peers to sound nice when really the the lead janitor title was change to CO-Executive Janitor but in reality the National Janitorial Boss told the worker below the Janitor to call the shots !

A reserve/futures contract (also known as a “futures contract”) gives the Giants (or any other NFL team) the rights to a certain player who did end the previous season on a 53-man roster.21 hours agoI couldn't explain what it means, but it seems good - announced that Mr. Robinson signed a "futures contract" with New Orleans. Means he can work out with them during the offseason? Has a head start on training camp?
Koehler spent the 2013 season at Illinois State where he coached the quarterbacks. In his one season with the Redbirds, Koehler helped coach Blake Winkler to the Missouri Valley All-Newcomer Team, while helping Illinois State average 24.7 points per game and finish fourth in the conference in passing efficiency.
Speaking of... I have wondered if Blake Winkler wasn't part of the reason Coach Spack did not make more of an effort to recruit Nic Baker (Rochester IL- HS, SIU). Maybe he thought Baker was too similar to Winkler, but it turned out that Baker was better. Winkler wasn't a bad QB for us, he was OK, but not Championship level.New tight ends coach at U of Minnesota Eric Koehler - QB coach at ISU in 2013 (one year only). From his bio:
I know fourthandshort particularly values the Winkler era! One of those Spack HS QB projects.
Very possible. Winkler had some stout stats coming out of HS, HS player of the year in Illinois. Never really worked out. Well, and Tre . . . .Speaking of...
