Safety coach

[Thurman Murman]

Position has been offered to a coach that used to coach at Weber with McBride. Not sure if the guy was a safety coach or another position or even a DC there. I do know he is a younger guy. That’s all I got, no name yet. Damn surveillance equipment in this van is getting old. Will keep listening for the name, but I am sure some of you egriz detectives could probably figure it out first.

Gotta put google in that van Thurman, pulling up the 2011 Weber roster which was coach Mac's last year:

ASSISTANT COACHES
Asst. Head Coach / OC / WR................Matt Hammer
Co-Def. Coordinator / Saf. / ST.............Jake Cookus
Co-Def. Coordinator / Linebackers ...... Colton Swan
Quarterbacks ........................................... Jason Beck
Cornerbacks...........................................Andre Dyson
Defensive Ends.................................... Jason Kaufusi
Tight Ends / Video Coordinator.........Tom Stackaruk
Offensive Line.......................................Cecil Thomas
Defensive Tackles..............................John Zamberlin
Running Backs ..................................... Brian Zeches
Director of Football Operations. ...... Kamaal Ahmad
Student Assistant Coach......................Trevyn Smith

So, wild ass guess but we're probably talking either Jake Cookus, Colton Swan, Andre Dyson, or maybe Trevyn Smith.

So doing some searches:

Trevyn Smith: arrested in 2011 for a DUI, doesn't seem to be coaching right now.

Andre Dyson: Appears to be currently not coaching, google search links to Weber, but Weber's updated roster does not list him.

Colton Swan: Still with Weber, listed as assistant coach/linebackers

Jake Cookus: Also appears to be without employ right now, a google search pulls an old Kentucky bio and his prior Weber bio

You’re right I do. That darn wifi is just so expensive though. I need to update most of my surveillance gear. Most of it is from the 90’s when I worked for the CIA. All it takes is money and I could be listening in on even better info. Maybe if they didn’t charge an arm and a leg for my parking pass to keep my van out in front of the Adams center.

Anyway, that Jake Cookus seems to fit the description pretty good. Will keep listening.

I can't believe Brint just called Trevyn Smith a decent RB...

His junior year he ran for 1500 yards, while catching 60+ passes for almost 800 yards, which ironically are better than any RB or WR did for us this year. I'm pretty sure Brint would label any of our RB's as better than decent this year, but Smith was just decent? Come on.

That was 2008 - correct? Yeah he was good, but the Griz beat him when it counted (to get to the 'natty), the next year his off-field issues really hampered his playing time. Didn't he also lose a lot of fumbles that year?

Looking back on old write ups I did call him a potential Payton finalist FWIW...

We didn't beat Smith in that '08 playoff game; we beat his choking QB, Higgins, who went 19-40-1, and we controlled the ball. Yet Smith rushed for 107 in 19 attempts and their only TD. He caught 7 passes for another 129 yards. More than a "decent" effort. Smith was a warrior, but it was Chase Reynolds's day and the Griz pass rush had Higgins crying. It was a nail-biter (17-13 UM) until we scored with 4 minuts left in the game. To this day the Weber fans whine about the game being in Missoula.

Smith played through a leg injury his senior year (hamstring, I believe), obvious in the Griz game, still gaining over 1000 yards and again all BSC first team for the fourth time.

Smith was one of the top 5 RBs in Big Sky history. No doubt about it. His off-field issues do not diminish his vast talent.

ha - not even close - probably in the "top 15" type discussion though.

Rushing average is only one stat for a running back and favors perimeter runners. That's why rushing titles are awarded by total yards gained. Smith was a durable inside runner and is #3 all time in the BSC in rushing yards. He was also an excellent receiver. Most importantly, he was one of only three BSC players to ever be all BSC first team four times. No Griz has ever done that. That is elite.

It isn't allowed? That's news to me.
