Per Pete Thamel on the Twitters for defensive backfield coach. Former Al Golden guy. Thoughts?

Anyone have a bit of BG info on where he comes from? Past Clawson association etc.?

I want it to be the Ohio Wesleyan Paul Williams--Battling Bishops to Demon Deacons what could go wrong? Probably the other guy.

Richard Sherman looks like he's about ready to start a career as a defensive backfield coach.
