O Line Coach and what's new on O Line

[FasterThanYou]

What's the deal on the new O line coach? Anybody know?

Couldn't find a thing. Some of our previous guys have landed new gigs, for what it's worth.

December 20, 2011
UTEP formally announced the addition of former UTEP consensus All-American Brian Natkin to the offensive line coach position, head coach Mike Price announced on Tuesday. Natkin replaces co-offensive coordinator Bob Connelly, who recently departed to Arizona State.

Natkin returns to his alma mater after a five-year stint at NCAA Division II Midwestern State.

Prior to his stint at MSU, Natkin coached one season at Northern Colorado where he developed an offensive line that paved the way for 1,000-yard rusher Andre Wilson.

University of South Dakota first-year head football coach Joe Glenn announced Monday the additions of two assistant coaches for the 2012 season. Jason Petrino was hired as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach, while Brett Harvey was hired as the offensive line coach.

Harvey was an offensive line and tight ends coach at the University of Northern Colorado for 11 years from 1995 to 2005. Under Glenn, he helped lead the Bears to the NCAA Division II national championships in 1996 and 1997.

July 2010. Former Colorado State University and Colorado Ice standout Brandon Alconcel is in his first year as the Adam State Grizzlies’ offensive line coach.

In 2008, Alconcel joined the Northern Colorado coaching staff as an offensive line coach, assisting offensive coordinator Dennis Darnell.

Thanks for the O Line info!
I have a few questions.....if anybody has access to the answers, it wou8ld sure be appreciated!
Is there a comprehensive list of signees anywhere? I so, where can it be accessed?
Is there any additional info on additions to the coaching staff?
Has the 2012 schedule been released? I have seen bits and pieces on this board, and links listed on this board, but I am hesitant to buy into unconfirmed information.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry, I just looked at the website & saw what I assume is a comprehensive list.
I am still curious about the coaches, and even more curious about the schedule

As you found, here's the list:

Just posting again for anyone else reading this thread.

I don't have info on new coaches or additions, maybe someone has heard something?
Guess it would be in a news release, and nothing here:
http://www.uncbears.com/sports/fball/2011-12/news

No update on schedule, either. The website still has 2011 and the ticket office shows no events in September 2012 or later.

On the bright side, maybe they are trying to build the suspense? ... nah.

Here are the UNC games we know of so far, as listed on other team's official websites. If not shown, I couldn't find it or the school hasn't released their 2012 schedule yet. We aren't the only one who hasn't published, but these have:

MONTANA STATE
9/22/2012 * NORTHERN COLORADO (HOMECOMING) Bozeman, MT TBA

MONTANA
10/06/12 at Northern Colorado * Greeley, Colo. TBA

CAL POLY
Sat, 10/13/2012 Northern Colorado * 6:05 PM PDT San Luis Obispo

WEBER STATE
Sat, Nov 10 Northern Colorado * Ogden, UT TBA

NORTH DAKOTA

Ok, new Oline coach is Chris Smith. Former player at Holy Cross University (Patriot League) and GA'd at University of Buffalo for two seasons it looks like. Young guy, comes from a coaching family. His dad is a long time coach at St. Francis in Buffalo NY. Good pick up, these guys sorely need an o line coach. Good move by Collins...

No doubt. I dont know how much taken he will have to work with, because that unit was so God-awful. Maybe they just needed to be coached up a bit. Who is the other coach the hired?

 

[Brianbear]

Didn't know they did hire anyone else. I'll look into it.
