Tyrone Wheatley named RB coach for Buffalo Bills

There was some speculation on the board about this earlier, but Tyrone Wheatley has officially followed Doug Marrone from Syracuse to the Buffalo Bills to be their new RB coach.  First NFL coaching job for Tyrone, and he gets to be the position coach to 2 pretty good backs in C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson.  Congrats to Tyrone!

Actually, I think Tyrone is great.  How about him coaching the RBs with Hart as his assistant?

With a couple more seasons of experience, Hart would become a strong option if Fred departs. Hopefully Wheatley has had NFL success where he would be looking at OC positions, or at least enough security and pay in the NFL that he would stay.

Would be great to have Hart on the coaching staff in the near future.

For the younger members, Tyrone Wheatley was an absolute beast.  Take Hart and add about 6 inches, 30 pounds, and top-end speed.  I'd be more than happy to have him as the RB coach in Ann Arbor.  Hart will have to wait his turn.

But did anyone think of Wheatley when Lewan announced he was coming back.  I remember being so happy when Wheatley turned down the NFL for a shot at the Heisman and national title, just to have an injury plagued senior year.  I think he still went in the first round, but there was top-5 draft talk going into the season.  I'm not predicting bad things, but that's the first time I can remember we had someone good enough to go early to stay in school.

At this point, I'd be surprised to see him come back to coach the RB's for Michigan. His stock has grown so much, and he is still relatively young for a coach. If he's looking for a HC job, there may be one for him somewhere if he does well at Buffalo.

Good for Wheatley. All the best to him.

I miss having a Wheatley sized running back.

Go Blue!  Always!

Amen, my friend.  Amen.

His 88-yard run on the first play of the second half in that game is the fastest I've ever seen someone run in pads.  He split two safeties that had a 15-yard running head start on him.

If Fred Jackson retires anytime soon (big IF cause he deserves to go on his terms).  I only think we need to look a little down Washtenaw Avenue for our next RB coach.

maybe the best combo of power and speed I can recall at Michigan in the last 25 yrs.  Tho my favorite Wheatley moment was when he hurdled me for a dunk at CCRB in off season.  Balls to the face, yo. 

On second recollection, my least favorite Wheatley moment...

I was at that Rose Bowl. His 88 yard run was one of the most exciting plays I've seen in person.

on the Bills website.  The 10 new hires include Chuck Driesbach (one of two linebackers coaches).  Anyone know if he's related to Scott?  He spent a couple years as secondary coach at MSU and was DC at Western Mich for three...

But back to Wheatley.  Congrats to one of my all-time favorites.  And congrats to Buffalo for getting him.

This is a great opportunity for Wheatley - always glad to see Michigan players make it into the NFL in any capacity, but you don't see many players from any school do this as a player and a coach. I would think this would have to be select company. Best of luck to Tyrone.
