Cardinals hire Blaine Gautier as Bill Bidwill coaching fellow

The Cardinals announced their newest Bill Bidwill Coaching Fellow.

The Arizona Cardinals have added a coach to their staff. On Thursday, the team announced the hiring of Blaine Gautier as the newest participant of the Bill Bidwill Coaching Fellowship.

The fellowship was created before the 2015 season and designed to “increase diversity and create additional opportunities for coaching experience at the highest level.”

Gautier was most recently at Baylor as the associate director of player personnel. He spent the 2022 offseason as an offensive analyst at Michigan State after coaching wide receivers at McNeese State in 2020-2021.

The team has not yet announced with which position Gautier will work.

Michigan State football hires new offensive analyst/assistant RBs coach

MSU has hired a new offensive analyst/assistant RB coach

Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker has filled a void within his coaching staff. Blaine Gautier has been hired as Michigan State’s new offensive analyst and assistant running backs coach, a void left by Effrem Reed’s promotion to RBs coach from this role.

Gautier spent his college career as a quarterback at Louisiana from 2008-2012 playing alongside Effrem Reed under offensive coordinator Jay Johnson. Gautier has a lot of connections with the Michigan State staff.

After his collegiate playing career, Gautier got into the coaching ranks working as an offensive analyst at LSU and then taking a job as a WR coach at McNeese State before coming to East Lansing.

Gautier should give the Spartans a recruiting boost in Louisiana while having strong comradery with the offensive coaching staff at Michigan State.
