Anyone have any guesses on who it could be? I'll throw one out of left field: Atif Austin. Former cyclone DB, former RB/special teams coach at UNI and very possibly could've been recruited by Rhoads back in the late 90's. He's available now after being dismissed from his head coaching job at a Florida high school for what seemed like not getting along well with alumni.

Anyway that is my wild guess of a pick for WR coach, it would be nice to see some former players on staff.

does he have any experience with the position? My guess is with all the coaching changes that there will be quite a few good non- BCS schools that have undegone a change of staff, and a few WR coaches will be floating around. For instance a Jason Phillips form Houston. I think he would have probably have been a better candidate for OC, as he was at Houston, and you probably can't get him at just the WR spot.

No. Austin Flynn would be a better option but I'm still not sure he would be as qualified as CPR would like.

Both would be great to get. Im not sure if Flynn is coaching anywere right now.
 
I ran into Austin Flynn the evening of Dec. 22nd. He was very nice and friendly. Indicated he was here interviewing for the a wide receivers coaching position.

Phillips would be awesome but would be a step down for him to just be a WR coach. I read he had an interview for the FIU head coaching job. Jason Candle would be good I just wish he had Texas ties.
