FYI - Coach S twitter back up - Suspending twitter accounts is something Twitter does fairly often (google - "twitter account suspended")
Not sure why all the quiet about the staff but from my sources most (if not all) in place and out recruiting, etc. Hopefully official announcement to come during or after the above chalk talk on Sat
But, to whet the appetite, I searched the elon.edu athletic dept faculty and staff directory and found these listed (so far) as assistant football coaches - I added their coaching position from either coachingsearch.com, from the faculty directory, twitter acct or other sources.
Carlton Hall (DL from coachingsearch.com) Terry Lantz (DB from coachingsearch.com, last coached DB at Ball St until Jan 2013) Jerry Petercuskie (DC from faculty directory and NC state premium message board) Cris Reisert (TE from coachingsearch.com) Scott Browne (RB) Billy Riebock (WR from coachingsearch.com) Scott Van Zile (QB from coachingsearch.com and twitter)
My guess is this was the first wave of hires, the rest are still being uploaded.

Three weeks to signing day and has anyone heard about OC and DC positions? Seems to me that this would be important.

I have not heard who specifically, but I have heard that the positions are filled. I have also heard that there is lots of experience in those positions. I'm not sure why there has been no formal announcement. Could be that the athletics dept wants to do a presser, but no one has been in town due to recruiting. The staff announcement may come at the same time as our signing class.

Was not able to hear Coach Skrosky speak at Chalk Talk last week - did he mention his coaches during that talk?

glad they are on the road, coaches convention and changes in the quiet period have ended in looking at the roster bios on the website there are huge upgrades and linking stat pages as well. As for staff We are going to have to have coaches that can develop players and players who can be coached up to turn this "Boat" around.

I think Mitch & Skrosky are cordial if not friends, so I would expect him to continue.

Searched the www.elon.edu faculty and staff directory for the "athletic department" just now ... found assistant football coach and offensive coordinator Damian Wroblewski. Google search indicates he was most recently the O-line coach from Rutgers so he is probably the OL coach too.

I have to say I am a little disappointed in this choice. I was hoping for someone with more experience. Lembo brought a full staff with him, experienced head coach, experienced OC and experienced DC.
I was really trying to be positive about the choice of Skrosky. He's a long time Lembo guy, had all sorts of offensive success. But he's never been a head coach. And that makes me nervous. We did that with Swepson too. This is why I liked Houston or Chaldwell for the job.
The hire of Petercuskie and Wroblewski concern me. Petercuskie has been an FBS position coach since he left Liberty in 1994. Wroblewski has been a position coach since 2012, was an FCS position coach since 2001 and before that was an offensive coordinator at then D-II Bryant (now FCS) in 2001.
That's not a lot of experience and it feels vaguely familiar and that concerns me.
So now we have a brand new, never been head coach before Skrosky with his two go-to guys not having held coordinator jobs like this in over a decade.
