Also, I would add the Medical team )don't know who they are) to the list of folks to add to the purge.

Thats these guys:
Darren Krein - Head Strength and Conditioning Coach
Richard Howell - Assistant Strength Coach
Ryan Podell - Sports Science/Conditioning
It's only Krein's second year as S&C coach. After a successful tenure at Miami, I think that we should give him another year or two to develop and implement his program. I know that it's a knee-jerk reaction to go looking for heads to roll from S&C staff when a team has a lot of injuries, but I think the link between S&C and injuries is tenuous and indirect. Richard Howell has been around since Manning's second season and would be important to retain for continuity. Ryan Podell seems like a charcter in moneyball.
I guess that is not really the medical staff, as much as the strength and conditioning coaches, whom I thought should stay on....
The Medical staff is:
Dave Hammer, Head Athletic Trainer
Erin Barill, Director of Sports Medicine
Dave Walston, Assistant Athletic Trainer
Kyle Davis, Assistant Athletic Trainer
Kellen Norris, Assistant Athletic Trainer
Tom Klootwyk, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon
Gary Misamore, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon
Dave Porter, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon
Terry Horner, MD, Neurosurgeon
Doug Robertson, MD, Physician
Thurman Alvey, DO, Physician
Marcus McCray, Team Chiropractor
David McDuff, MD, Sports Psychiatrist
Elizabeth White, Counselor
Lindsay Langford, Dietitian'
I would not have expected that we'd have 4 ortho surgeons on staff, but nor did I expect to have a rare guitar curator either:
Chris McKinney, Curator-Rare Guitars/Collectibles
