I thought I'd have a little fun and put a hypothetical staff together for Mickey. It consists of guys I think he'd keep from the current staff. It also has a couple coaches I think he'd add for obvious reasons. There are some he has worked with in the past and then I took some liberty and filled out the rest with coaches who I feel would be great hires. Coaches who have experience in the Big Ten or the Midwest.
I'm assuming he'd get a rather sizable assistant coach salary pool and could offer these guys raises and/or a better opportunity.
Vance Joseph (Arizona Cardinals) Assistant Head Coach, Defensive Coordinator and Safeties Coach
Joe Brady (Buffalo Bills) Offensive Coordinator and QB coach
Bill Busch (Nebraska) Special Teams Coordinator
Charlie Partridge (Pitt) Defensive Line Coach and Defensive Run Game Coordinator
Herb Hand (UCF) Offensive Line Coach and Run Game Coordinator
Bryan Applewhite (Nebraska) Running Backs Coach
Al Washington (Notre Dame) Associate Head Coach and Linebackers Coach
Nathan Scheelhaase (Iowa State) Wide Receivers Coach and Passing Game Coordinator
Terry Joseph (Texas) Cornerbacks Coach and Defensive Passing Game Coordinator
Tim Brewster (Jackson State) Tight Ends Coach
Tommy Moffitt (fmr. LSU) Strength and Conditioning Coach
