MEMPHIS – Memphis coach Mike Norvell announced a trio of staff promotions effective immediately. Darrell Dickey will become Memphis' offensive coordinator, Kenny Dillingham will be elevated to a full-time assistant coach position as the quarterbacks and tight ends coach and Ryan Silverfield will add Tigers' run game coordinator to his duties.
"The interest generated by our opening was remarkable," Norvell said. "But after the process of visiting with a number of coaches and coordinators from a variety of schools and just about every conference across college football, I feel the best option to continue our high standard of offensive success is to promote from within our staff.
