GIBSON ANNOUNCES 2015 RAMS STAFF

REGINA, Sask. – University of Regina Rams head coach Mike Gibson announced Thursday the addition of eight assistant coaches to his staff, including longtime defensive coordinator Paul Dawson returning in that same role.

Also retained from last year’s staff will be Steve Hanson (offensive line), Dwayne Masson (running backs), Sheldon Neald (offensive line), and Alex Smith (special teams coordinator). Greg Nesbitt (defensive line) returns to the Rams after a season off from coaching last year, while newcomers Sheldon Gray (defensive backs) and Nathan Hoffart (wide receivers) also join the staff.

“I’m extremely excited at the group of coaches that we’ve put together,” said Gibson, who was named the team’s head coach in January. “We’ve got guys who have been here before and know the lay of the land, and we’ve got new guys who will be great coaches and are excited to be a part of this program. They’ve already got a great rapport and good chemistry as a group and I’m hopeful that they’ll be here for a long time.”

Gibson expects to name an offensive coordinator before the team’s spring camp, which is scheduled for April 24 through April 26 at the U of R Field.

Seeing a coaching staff like this has to tell you how football has evolved. The 1966 Roughriders had 3 coaches. Now even CIS teams have Teams of coaches/teachers. Speaks to how the game has evolved.
