Football. Conroy Hines Resigns to Pursue Other Career Opportunities - latechsports.co

I wish Conroy good luck but he near seemed to do much in the QB development department

Conroy seems to have been a genuinely nice person, but it was time for a change. If the right replacements can be found, two more changes should be made.

I heard Todd Berry was the leader, he really wants the job, he says he would rather be a position coach at an elite university than the head coach at a FCS school.

Not a good enough coach for us though...

Good luck Coach Hines! Classy guy.

We give up way too many 2nd and 3rd and long yardage pass plays.

I'm under the impression that Spang and Dooley tell Terry Joseph what type of defensive scheme we're gonna run.

Wow, hard to believe that a hometown guy is gone. Conroy has been a great ambassador for the program and I hope that he departed on good terms because he can continue to be a voice for us in his next endeavor. Thanks Conroy, for the time and effort devoted to La Tech!

Can somebody please tell me what a wide receiver coach does? Does he teach them to catch? If that's the case we've needed a new one for several years now.

A true Tech guy, he gave alot to this university as a player and a coach. He also played a major role in making sure these players handled the academic side as well.

Best wishes Coach, in whatever you attempt! You are a credit to the University.

While I was looking for other receiving coaches, I was surprised to see how many teams had two receiving coaches. They either had outside and slot or inside and outside. Nichols has a good bit of experience. I don't see this move as great for him. I posted his bio on page 1 of this thread. I guess we wanted to be THE receiver coach.

His wikipedia page says he was appointed defensive tackle coach at ULM on december 19th. I also see there is an article in the news-star about it. This is news to me...
