Lou Spanos will be our linebackers coach
That is great news! No complaints from me there. Looks like we're going to the 3-4, though.
Chris Meidt is staying...good news for Campbell fans I think. Not sure what his job will be but he might be the QB coach
Thats pretty surprising, but no complaints here either. I'm not a "Campbell fan" my any means, but I don't like any of the "first round QBs" at all. Perhaps Shanahan isn't impressed with any of them either. Or maybe, he sees something in Campbell he can work with.
We have enough needs on our team as it is already, especially if we're switching to a 3-4. If we can scratch Starting QB off the list, we can be competitive much sooner.

Turner leaves Broncos to join Shanahan - The Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_14180116)
I love this.
As far as Lou Spanos, I know nothing about him. I think he's a Steelers assistant??

EDIT - I was wrong, for some reason i thought he was the steelers old LB coach who'd left to do something in college, but, but he's still with the team. His bio says he's "quality control/defense" so this is definitely a promotion for him. He's been with the Steelers since 1996, and so he's been part of one of the best defenses in modern football. very solid pickup in my opinion.

Whoever hacked into BHA's account, just save yourself a ban and confess now

Perhaps. Or perhaps we keep Campbell and draft a QB to take over by midseason anyway. Or perhaps this all sets up the return of Meidt's recommendation from last year...Chase Daniel!

LOL, hey I call it like I see it. I like both moves. All though now the conspiracy-theory side of me is starting to think maybe we are just retaining Meidt to make other teams THINK we want to retain Campbell, thereby increasing his trade value. Strategery!

Chase Daniel? Isn't he a little short to be a stormtrooper... errr i mean quarterback?
Meidt seemed to do a good job working with Lewis on the play calling and game plan stuff. Good to see him retained.

Wow dude, that's out there. You love a good conspiracy theory huh?
