Ole Miss football: Lane Kiffin loses Jeremy Springer to Los Angeles Rams, per report​


Ole Miss football assistant coach Jeremy Springer, recently hired by Lane Kiffin to lead the Rebels' special teams efforts next season, is leaving for the same position with the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, ESPN's Pete Thamel reports.

After the Super Bowl, three of Sean McVay's assistants were poached by other franchises. Offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell is the new head coach of the Minnesota Vikings while secondary coach and pass game coordinator Ejiro Evero and assistant special teams coach Dwayne Stukes are joining the Denver Broncos is step-up roles.

Per Inside The Rebels' David Johnson, Springer served last season as the special teams coach at Marshall. Prior to that, he served for three years as Kevin Sumlin's special teams coordinator at Arizona. Springer has also spent time on staffs at Texas A&M and UTEP.

Johnson notes that Springer "worked directly with special teams coordinator Jeff Banks, and assisted with the tight ends during his time at Texas A&M. He was also responsible for organizing recruiting efforts in south and west Texas. Under Banks and Springer, the Aggies’ special teams were one of the nation’s leaders. In 2017, Texas A&M led the nation in blocked kicks and blocked punts. The Aggies also finished second in the nation in punt returns and third in net punting. In 2016, the Aggies’ special teams led the nation in punt returns and allowed zero blocked kicks. A year prior, they led the nation in punt returns and allowed zero blocked kicks in 2015."

Springer was one of several new hires this offseason for Kiffin at Ole Miss after a mass exodus of coaches left for other jobs after the Rebels' 10-win season, including offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby (Oklahoma).

"I think he's been a lot of places," Lane Kiffin said. "And ran our defense at FAU when we were really good that year. He then went to the NFL since then, learned at a lot of different places, had really good players, so that makes it easy to recruit to. Having been here before when they were really good, I think is really good for him recruiting for players to know, 'Hey, OK, he coached these guys who were here before. I'm glad for that.'"

Rams hiring Broncos’ Chris Beake as LBs coach​

  • Cameron DaSilva, February 19, 2022
The Los Angeles Rams will have several vacancies to fill on their coaching staff this offseason after Kevin O’Connell, Ejiro Evero, Dwayne Stukes and Marcus Dixon all left for opportunities with other teams. Evero, Stukes and Dixon all joined the Broncos, but the Rams are stealing one of Denver’s assistants in exchange.

According to Mike Klis of 9News in Denver, the Rams are hiring Chris Beake as their new linebackers coach. Beake has been with the Broncos since 2013 but with Vic Fangio being fired, it appears new coach Nathaniel Hackett is choosing not to bring Beake back.

What’s interesting is the fact that Beake is taking a position with the Rams that wasn’t publicly known as being vacant. Chris Shula is the Rams’ current LBs coach so it looks like he could either receive a promotion or leave Sean McVay’s staff.

Beake was promoted by the Broncos last season from defensive assistant to defensive pass game specialist. He previously worked a defensive quality control coach and defensive line coach, as well.

Perhaps by bringing in Beake, who was on the Broncos’ staff while Von Miller was in Denver, the Rams are attempting to lure Miller back to Los Angeles this offseason before he hits free agency.

I thought promotions cannot be blocked
Legit promotions cant be. But there are only 3 designations: Head Coach, OC/DC, & assistant coach. Lateral moves can be blocked, promotions cant. It isnt a promotion to go from say a "QB coach" to an "Assistant HC/running game coordinator".

But going from assistant DLine coach to DLine coach is a promotion

Both are considered assistant coach. Again, there are only 3 designations. While it may be a promotion to the individual, it is not considered one as far as the poaching rules are considered.
It had been only moves to HC couldnt be blocked and that all other positions were assistants, but that was changed a couple of years back to allow moves to OC or DC

Here's a link that explains the rule change allowing coordinator postions open to interview

Seems like a good hire for Assistant Special Teams Coach. Has a solid resume and the opportunity to work under Joe DeCamillis is a plus. Have to give it to DeCamillis & DeWayne Stukes. They rebuilt this unit on the fly, continuing to add individuals that made a difference. Brandon Powell was the best addition, but the likes of Buddy Howell, Grant Haley & Jake Gervase was excellent in coverage.

I also like adding college coaches because they also can give insight to certain players during the draft & evaluation process.

IDK, maybe he's the heir apparent to Mike Tomlin.
I love that expression.

One of my favorite lines from the Sopranos was a discussion between Tony and Christopher about Jackie Jr.

Tony thought the kid was kind of an asshole but Christopher interjected:
'I don't know, he's the HAIR apparent'

I suppose that’s possible but I wouldn’t expect Tomlin to be done. I guess with Ben retired he could be considering moving in, I don’t follow them.

Seems like quite a fall for Flores might take a while to rebuild his reputation.
Not so sure about that. I think the fact he got a coaching position in light of his suit against the NFL, shows how valuable he is still viewed

I agree here, I'm sure having Beake can't hurt and still wondering what happens to Chris Shula. Possible that Beake could coach OLB's (which would include Miller) & Shula ILB's. Or Does Shula become Safety Coach & Jonathan Cooley DB Coach? Either way the addition of Beake a Fangio disciple IMO is a good hire and I'm anxious to see how the rest of the staff shakes out as Sean McVay works his magic.

Guessing Beake takes OLB since Von was under him in Denver. OLB last year was under Henderson.

Didn't realize that, thought that Shula was coaching both linebacker positions, but that makes sense although Joe Barry coached ILB's & Shula OLB's with the Beake addition, moves Shula to ILB's and maybe another title too.
