Remaining Staff additions

College position coaches are mainly asked to communicate what the OC wants to do on offense to each of the position groups. That’s their main job, and it most of their job. Yes, there are position drills, but those don’t vary a lot from team to team. 
Can only speak from my personal experiences and those of who I talk to but I disagree here.  The individual position drill work yes is maybe 80% the same across all teams but the 20% difference is what separates the great coaches from the rest.  
 

The individual attention to each players technique and giving feedback on how to make it better is the player development we all talk about.   
 

OLine coaches teaching first steps based on DLine position, hand placement on the initial punch, WR technique getting of the ball on press coverage, when to double move, when to lower hips getting out of breaks, teaching RB’s when and how to jump cut, teach them second level vision etc, etc.   some coaches don’t really notice some of the finer points or can’t see it on film to coach it properly.  

 
Big fan of this hire. We need more coaches that look like cavemen.

Are we hiring more analysts or are we just getting more info on them?

seems like more but I don’t know?

If there aren’t limits on it, I like the idea of hiring a ton of them. 
 

Does someone have a link to how much time an analyst/ GA, etc can work with players? Can some be at practice and some only  in meeting rooms? Im sure there are rules for this but I don’t even know where to look.

Don’t quote me, but I think GAs (limited to 4 per team now) can have direct player contact and coach coach at practice/game days.

Analysts aren’t allowed to coach at practice/game days. But most teams have analysts who “coach” and don’t get caught (unless you piss one off and he turns you in for it).

When you say analysts can’t coach, can they be in meetings and just not in the field for practice/ games?

Also, didn’t Harbaugh just get busted for what Frost did (analysts coaching) only worse ( contacting croots)? I wonder why it took so much longer to be dealt with.

I think I read that this may be changing.  

 
Quite honestly, I have no clue what "analysts" actually do.  You would think that an offensive analyst would be someone who would watch film/games/practice and give input on game planning, what players to play, what players need to work on...etc.

But, I remember reading somewhere that Alabama had something like 40 or 50 analysts.  What a cluster f#&% that would be.  If I were coach, I would want 2 maybe 3 offensive analysts that I would have regular meetings with to get input from and bounce ideas off of.  These people would be people that I really trust their opinions.   How in the world would that work with 40-50 analysts?  So, Alabama has 40-50 of these guys running around at practice, along with the regular coaches and GAs.  Who the hell does the player listen to?  You know not all of those are going to have the same ideas.  They would almost have one analyst for every scholarship player.  Talk about personal coaching.

Obviously, it's working for them.  I just don't understand it.

EDIT:  I just looked it up.  Alabama now has 12 analysts.  That's a much more manageable number than what I read before.
