WVU news:
Good to see "Obie" is out of the hospital...
Obviously, the BIG news is that it is expected that Arizona will announce Jeff Casteel as their new defensive coordinator, today. Casteel is expected to bring along Bill Kirelawich and David Lockwood, as well. Arizona newspapers/media outlets are suggesting Arizona will have a formal announcement of the new coaches at some point today. WV Illustrated's story here.
With those departures it opens up a few defensive positions on the WVU staff. It now appears the names floating around as possible additions to the defensive staff include Brian Stewart (Houston Cougars, Dallas Cowboys, etc), Joe DeForest (Oklahoma State) and Zac Spavital brother of current WVU assistant (QBs). The Tulsa newspaper mentioned DeForest around 6pm EST yesterday - and you can read it here. WV Illustrated mentioned, around the same time, that the Arizona football site had pages created for the new coaches. Colin Dunlap isn't as sure as the rest of the WV media that Brian Stewart is next in line for defensive coordinator. Dunlap went so far as to say Spavital could replace Casteel, but then seemed to indicate Joe DeForest has the best chance. Meaning: we'll find out soon. If the Arizona announcement does happen today I'd expect to see WVU announce the new additions by the end of the weekend, as Signing Day is quickly approaching. Stay tuned...
