Tight ends coach hot board 1.0: Who replaces Andrew Aurich with Rutgers football? Seven names to watch

Seven names to consider for Rutgers football in their search for a new tight ends coach.

Rutgers football is looking to replace Andrew Aurich as tight ends coach, with some interesting possibilities out there for the job.

Aurich, reported to be the next head coach at Harvard, has been on the Rutgers staff since the return of Greg Schiano in 2020. Last year was his first season as the tight ends coach.

His ties to Schiano included time on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers staff during Schiano’s tenure in the NFL.

In replacing Aurich, Rutgers will need to bring in a young, exciting positional coach. Rutgers has several young tight ends on their roster and while the room isn’t deep or very experienced, there is a pressing need to coach the group up.

Seahawks assistant coach Steve Shimko hired by Boston College

Seattle Seahawks assistant quarterbacks coach Steve Shimko took a job coaching tight ends at Boston College on Friday.

The Seattle Seahawks coaching shakeup has already begun as we head into the 2020 season.

Steve Shimko, who was an offensive assistant in 2018 and assistant quarterbacks coach last year, has been hired by Boston College to be their tight end coach. The move was announced by Boston College on Friday.

Shimko spent two years with the Seahawks, coming over after a successful stint as the offensive coordinator at Garden City Community College.

He also has successful stints at the University of Georgia (alongside Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer) and Western Michigan.

Shimko was a quarterback at Rutgers from 2009-2012, but his career was cut short due to injury and he began his path into coaching as a graduate assistant shortly after that.

The Seahawks may lose another coach, Brennan Carroll – Pete Carroll’s son – to Hawaii, as they look the reshape some of their ranks following an 11-5 season and a heartbreaking exit in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs in 2019.
