From the noon media luncheon, Chris Beatty is your new director of recruiting and also adds fullbacks to his coaching stable, where running backs and slot receivers still reside. New hire Dave McMichael is in charge of tight ends. The two cover the players once coached jointly by Doc Holliday.

McMichael, who coached 18 years previously at WVU, will also run field goal, extra point and kickoff return on special teams. Steve Dunlap remains the safety coach and is now in charge of kickoff coverage, punt return, and field goal and extra point block/defense.

Additionally, under offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen, offensive line coach Dave Johnson will coordinate the running game while wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway will head up the passing game. Defensively under coordinator Jeff Casteel, defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich handles the run defense game plan while cornerbacks coach David Lockwood oversees the pass defense game plan.
