How about bringing in Shayne Skov to coach linebackers and fire up the team?  He's done with NFL, right?

Something like that may be a very good move. It appears that Gaffney was a good influence at the UW game, so having an on-staff injection of EUTM could be just what we need. I don't know if Skov is interested or available, but I am sure there are other credible possibilities. OTOH, we probably will get dinged for not going outside the program with such a hire.

Since July, it appears that Shayne has been an associate at McKinsey.  I just Googled his name and his LinkedIn appears: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shayneskov/

Good for him! If he ever gets burnt out and wants to try coaching, he would have a lot of fans here...

"I am a 5 year NFL veteran who played for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints.

I graduated from Stanford University with a B.S. in Management Science & Engineering (2014). During my time at Stanford, I was a five-year member on the Stanford Football Team (2009-2014), a member of teams that won BCS Orange and Rose Bowls. Additionally, I earned two PAC-12 All-Academic Team awards, was voted an Associated Press All-American, selected as a captain by my peers, and recipient of the Stanford University Award for Senior Excellence.

Founded DAC Foundation (Divierte Aprende y Convive) focused on youth development via education and athletics. Foundation operates in Guadalajara Mexico providing clinics and seminars nationally across Mexico. Negotiated deals with Nike and Gatorade to sponsor foundation events."
