But where was he going to be retained at? His only two positions with experience were OL and TE. And there is only so many coaching positions. Grimes was OL coach and one of the best we've had. Anae was hired as OC. Reynolds was RBs. Higgins was brought in as WR in 2005. That's the only spot really that could be debated that Empey could have taken but he didn't have WR coaching experience.
