Report: Dave Brock new offensive coordinator
This move is not official yet, as Tampa is still waiting to officially name its assistant hires. However, word out of Boston is that BC special teams coach Dave Brock will be the new offensive coordinator at Rutgers. Brock served as the interim OC last year after Kevin Rogers down.
Brock, originally a native of South Jersey, is certainly a respectable position coach hire given his resume (Temple, K-State, etc...) The BC offense did not look great last year though, and Brock (who was an interim OC, mind you) was relieved of his duties following the season. He was rumored to be looking to bolt as a result to begin with, and I thought there was a decent chance he would be re-united with Kyle Flood given that both worked at Hofstra in the mid-90s, and Flood has supposedly been looking at other former colleagues such as Rob Spence.
Plus, there's also the matter of the BC staff probably being a year away from a full house-cleaning, so it makes a lot of sense for Brock to get out while he still can.
Well, there's one domino down. There are worse things in the world than reuniting the 1997 Hofstra staff (look it up, it wasn't a halfway bad staff.) Stylistically, Brock has been involved with a lot of different looks in his career. I would bet on a run heavy, play-action attack predominating in 2012 though.
While Brock is a native of South Jersey, he recruited the midwest for BC. That isn't much of a concern, as most coordinators do far less recruiting than position coaches.
Update: Tom Luicci says Dave Cohen will probably be LB coach.

Seriously, RU is getting a guy who had horrible results as OC at BC, which has had a horribel offense for several years now. What is RU doing here? Don’t sugar-coat it: This is not an impressive hire for RU.
never said it was
but Spaziani will definitely be fired next year. Don’t see how BC fans can take issue with that. They want him gone.
You know not of what you speak
Many want him gone.
But the AD wants him to stay
School president Back AD
Fan will thwarted
Don't like it.
From the BC site: “As offensive coordinator at Kansas State, Brock spearheaded a Wildcat offense…”
You’ve got to be kidding me. Brock was 109th in total offense in 2010. He’s 112th in 2011. Scoring offense was similar. I mega dislike this if it is true.
Not sure
FYI – Brock was the interim OC starting in Sept. 2011, he was the TE coach during his first 2 1/2 yrs at BC.
Brock is a decent recruiter, but as OTB points out, coordinators recruit less than the position coaches.
Editor, BC Interruption
When the BC site states “Wildcat” offense, is it referring to the Kansas State Wildcats, or the literal Wildcat offense with a RB or WR lined up at QB?
Huh?
Before jumping off the ledge, could we wait until we get the whole story?
As to the BE AQ status still in jeopardy…that’s just silly. It’s likelythere won’t even be a BCS in four years.
