Another one leaves the program BUT I think this has something to do with the hiring of Duce Staley as he is widely rumored (reported by LOHD HERE) to be coming on board with Spurrier in some role. Having Gillespie leave allows room for Duce to come on staff possibly as a RB/Player Relations Coach. I hope this is what is happening and this is not as simple as another coach leaves b/c that would not be good....I mean 5 coaching changes in 2 months? I am sure this is not helping Spurrier retain his passion for coaching. Here is the news -
This time it is running backs coach Robert Gillespie, who said Wednesday night he is leaving Columbia to take a position at Oklahoma State. Gillespie becomes the fifth assistant to leave this offseason, joining offensive line coach John Hunt, recruiting coordinator David Reaves, safeties coach Ron Cooper and strength coach Mark Smith.
thoughts?

did you see our running game last year?? did you see our running backs... these kids couldn't have started for Northwestern... Bring in the Duce... i think a lot of this stems from Wolford being hired as "running game CO" too... Gillespie could recruit but thats about it...
The only player gilespie was working hard was Marcu Lattimore in 2010. While he had great relationships with alot of recruits most of them ended up signing some where else. I also doubt Duece is going to be the RB's coach. He doesn't have a degree and since he doesn't he can't coach. Plus he has no coaching experience at all. Let him get his feet wet with the player relations role and then see if he can slowly work his way into coaching.
