Anybody know what is going on with him - I see a couple coaches follow him, but otherwise no mention of WIU. I don't see those retweets anymore so don't know if he deleted or what is going on.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 8:27 am Doug Patterson is an O-Line coach who has started retweeting WIU football stuff and is followed by a few of the people on/connect with our staff, just fyi: https://twitter.com/CoachDP78

Jonathan Minnis has been hired as the Director of Strength and Conditioning
Most recently, he was a S&C coach at Weber State and prior to that, was an assistant S&C Coach at Bryant University. However, this is more of a "return home" for Coach Minnis, having been a grad assistant S&C coach here, while getting a masters in kinesiology. He got his bachelors from Culver-Stockton College (Canton, MO) and is originally from Morning Sun, IA.

Good to hear. I noticed he's been getting a lot of shoutouts on twitter from people happy to see him come back home. He helped out with Weber State's football S&C last year when they went 11-4 overall and 2-1 in the FCS playoffs.

Jacques Washington is our new CB coach: https://twitter.com/coachjacq
He played at Iowa State from 2009-2013, was an assistant coach at Owasso HS (OK) where he's from, then defensive quality control at Iowa State, and the last 2 years has been on staff at UCLA (not sure what his position there was).

Scott (or anybody else I guess). Any idea where we stand on assistant coaches. I'm assuming we still have some more to hire.
We might be done, depending on how duties were shifted around internally.
Open positions (based on what the previous coach was listed as doing) were: DC/OLB, DB, D Run Game/ILB, Co-OC/O-Line
Cam Clark is now DC and Safeties
Jacques Washington is CBs
Doug Patterson is O-Line
So, it looks like there might be a need for someone else on the LB's, but as I said, they might be shifting around some duties to make it work with those guys.
