New Offensive Line Coach Hired: Steve Marshall

A number of sources have already confirmed the info, with the official announcement coming this weekend, but former Cleveland Browns coach Steve Marshall will become Cal's next offensive line coach.

You can also find this news at a couple of other Cal blogs that have beat me to the punch. Those rascals. The while guys at CGB have it up while The Bear will not Quit already has a nice writeup as well.

Marshall replaces former O-Line coach Jim Michalczek who has consistently led his unit to being one of the premier offensive lines in the nation, both in terms of sacks allowed and rushing yards. Needless to say, Marshall will have big shoes to fill.


While Marshall's history of jumping from place to place does raise an eyebrow, it's an absolute great get for the Bears to get an NFL coach who has a really impressive background with both collegiate and pro-level experience. His experience coaching NFL units should really mesh well with Coach Cignetti and Tedford's pro-style offense.

Welcome to the Bears, Coach Marshall!
