Tim Leger also coached baseball and football at STM for a few years in the early 2000s. He would be a great guy to have on staff, big time competitor. If you like what you see out of Gunner Leger on the mound, just realize that he learned that from his dad, Tim. Former minor leaguer, super competitive and a class act. It's funny that you mention him being followed in twitter all of a sudden by Napier, cause I had a thought earlier today about us potentially targeting him with his connection to Sale and this University with his son pitching for UL.
Joe Hastings As a DL coach? #twitterspeculations
I'm anxious to hear who we hire as DC. Im surprised there aren't any rumors yet
This was on the Michigan website
Defensive Graduate Assistant
Joe Hastings is in his second season as a defensive graduate assistant coach for the Wolverines, working with the defensive line. Hastings spent the 2014 season as a pro personnel assistant for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hastings played in the NFL for three seasons (2011-13) as a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins and the UFL for one season with the Sacramento Lions.
Hastings was a four-year letterman and two-year starter at wide receiver for Washburn College (2005-09). He appeared in 23 games with two starts, collecting 32 receptions for 487 yards and two touchdowns during his career.
Hastings earned his bachelor's degree in marketing from Washburn.
His Twitter profile says "coach wide receivers Michigan"
Considering:
1. Our head coach has already said he will essentially be the offensive coordinator from a design and play calling perspective,
2. Our biggest offensive weakness the last few years has been line play
Hiring an offensive line expert as our highest paid offensive assistant makes complete sense. Throw in that he should bolster in state recruiting...win-win
First step for our big ugly's is to get them slimmed up , quicker, and in shape. Right now they are just plain to unathletic. I hope Leger is hired as previously speculated.
That's always bothered me in terms of evaluating people based on their resume. Very often a substantial talent is forced to take routes in their career that don't necessarily make their resume sparkle. And it is also true that less talented people have sparkling resumes that have little to do with their personal contribution.
ULGrad@HOU was just making a funny about ULM. There are some posters in our quarters... and I kind of understand them... that don't want our coaches to have built their careers within one of our least favorite programs. Any time I'm challenged by that notion... I just think "Tony Robichaux"... and I smile.
