Staff Update: Baylor Reportedly Hires Glenn Thomas as QB Coach

Currently, NCAA regulations allow every D1 football team to employ up to 9 assistant coaches, with a rule change allowing up to 10 having been recommended for approval by the NCAA Division 1 Council and expected to be approved by the NCAA Board of Directors sometime this spring.

Before today, Baylor had 7 confirmed assistant coaches with roles somewhat up in the air (Rhule has said he will nail these down in the next couple of weeks), but mostly known (last position in parenthesis):

Co-OC/Wide Receivers: Matt Lubick (Oregon - OC)
Co-OC/Running Backs: Jeff Nixon (San Francisco 49ers - TE coach)
OL: George DeLeone (Temple, same)

DC: Phil Snow (Temple, same)
DL: Elijah Robinson (Temple, same)
LB: Mike Siravo (Temple, same)
DBs: Francis Brown (Temple, same)

Tonight, with Atlanta’s Matt Ryan sporting a perfect passer rating in the Super Bowl (as of this moment, anyway), ESPN 1660 in Waco is reporting that one of the final two open spots, QB coach, will be filled by his former mentor, Glenn Thomas.
