“Aphorism plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” – Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
For my non-french speaking friends here is the well-known quote translated as “The more things change the more they stay the same”. Jimbo Fisher’s coaching staff is finalized outside of adding another adviser or analyst. The new additions to the staff caused another rearranging of the deck chair on Fisher’s vessel after a shuffle last season.
Now why start with one of the most famous quotes in history? That’s because a handful of the changes are coaches reverting to their position groups prior to last year. Look below for the who is where for the 2023 season.
Dameyune Craig will move from quarterbacks coach back to wide receivers coach where he spent four seasons (2018 – 2021)
James Coley will move from receivers coach back to tight ends coach where he spent two seasons (2020 – 2021)
New OC Bobby Petrino will be coaching the quarterbacks; a position he excels in and has tons of experience. His hire is probably the driving force for having Coley and Craig move back to their pre-2022 coaching spots.
DJ Durkin will more than likely start coaching the linebackers after the departure of Santucci with no additional hire to replace him.
While these moves are not technically official, an inference can be made based on how the offers have been going out to the high school prospects. I’m personally encouraged by these moves and find myself being a little more optimistic every day.
