Georgia Tech head
coaching vacancy.Whisenhunt will interview this weekend
Drue Tranquill Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys , Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Chargers will be traveling to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers,
and the interview is presumably on Saturday.According to Sam Fortier of
Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys 2019 , Whisenhunt was downplaying any talk of him being a candidate at Georgia Tech just an hour before Schefter reported that he
was interviewing.“I heard about that when I walked off the field yesterday,”
Whisenhunt said. “I’ve been so busy from that I haven’t even had a chance to
think about it. I had no idea that I was really a candidate for that. I’m
certainly flattered that people think that
Drue Tranquill Jersey Color Rush , but my focus is on the Steelers. . . . I don’t have any interest in it being a distraction whatsoever.”Whisenhunt
played his college football at Georgia Tech. His coaching experience is almost
entirely in the NFL, with two seasons at Vanderbilt in 1995 and 1996 his only
experience at the college level. The Chargers found a reliable kicker this
season when they signed rookie Michael Badgley to take over for Caleb
Sturgis
Mens Drue Tranquill Jersey , but it appears they aren’t satisfied with everything Badgley brings to the table.Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the
team is signing Nick Rose with the intention of having Rose handle kickoff
duties against the Patriots in New England on Sunday.Badgley had zero touchbacks
on six kickoffs in Baltimore last weekend and has posted nine touchbacks in 54
kicks over his entire run with the Chargers this season. The 45 kickoff returns
were the most in the league and the Chargers had the lowest touchback percentage
of any team in the league this season.Patriots kickoff returner Cordarrelle
Patterson averaged 28.8 yards per return this season and took one kick back for
a touchdown, so it’s not hard to understand why the Chargers might like to avoid
putting the ball into his hands.Rose finished last season with the Chargers and
had eight touchbacks in nine kickoffs. He has not been in the NFL since being
cut by the Texans at the end of the summer.
