Still catching up on a few things including a podcast with Dartmouth assistant Callie Brownson on the American Football Coaches Association's "Inside the Headset:"
(If that doesn't work, find the podcast HERE.)
•
Speaking of Coach Brownson, per her Twitter account she is the Big Green's new Director of Recruiting. That in addition to her role as offensive quality control assistant.

Also while I was away, head athletic trainer Jeff "Jazzy" Frechette announced his retirement effective at the end of the year. (LINK) Jeff hasn't worked with football for a few years but he spent his share of time on the sidelines before assuming the top position in the training room. He really did bridge the gap between the old-time trainer who was an artist with adhesive tape and the new trainer with advanced degrees. Jeff is a good guy who will be missed around the athletic department both by the athletes and coaches as well as those of us who call him a friend.

Fanned on this one after being away but apparently yesterday was Dartmouth's Pro Day with defensive lineman Rocco Di Leo, offensive linemen Matt Kaskey and Phil Berton, nickel Ky McKinney-Crudden and running back Rashaad Cooper taking part. (I'll try to get some results to share in the coming days.)
