UD’s Keeler announces football staff additions 9:31 a.m., March 24, 2005--The University of Delaware football team has filled its coaching staff for the 2005 season with the addition of assistants Neal Brown and Dyran Peake and the promotion of graduate assistant Brian McArdle. UD Head Coach K.C. Keeler announced Wednesday the hiring of Brown, who served on the staff of Sacred Heart University last fall and who will be the receivers coach, and Peake, who worked last season as an assistant at Cornell University and who will assist the defensive backs coach. McArdle, who joined the UD staff last fall as a graduate assistant, will take over as tight ends coach. The hirings bring to six the number of UD assistant coaches who will either be new to the staff or new to their responsibilities as the Fightin’ Blue Hens prepare to open spring practice on Monday, April 4. Earlier, Isaac Collins was hired as defensive backs coach, Jim Turner was hired as offensive line coach and Brian Ginn was promoted to a full-time position. Brown served as wide receivers and quarterbacks coach at Sacred Heart in 2004, leading the Pioneers to a 6-4 record. Earlier, Brown had worked as an assistant coach at the University of Massachusetts after completing his playing career there as a wide receiver. Peake, who will assist Collins with the defensive backs, spent three seasons as a graduate assistant at Duke University before moving on to Cornell University for the 2004 season. He is a 2001 graduate of Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C., where he was a three-year starter at safety. McArdle will begin his second season on the staff after working last year as an assistant under offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca. McArdle was a standout football player at Ursinus College, where he was a three-year starter on the offensive line. The Hens will conclude spring drills with the annual Blue-White Game to be held at noon, Saturday, April 30, at Delaware Stadium. To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
