Duke Hires New O-Line Coach

After parting ways with its previous offensive line coach, Duke finally pulled the trigger on its new man landing Greg Frey.

Frey replaces Jim Bridge who left to take a job with Memphis. Frey comes to the Blue Devils, a 20-plus year veteran college coach including stints at West Virginia, Indiana, Michigan and Florida State.

The new line coach will have a bit of rebuilding as the line struggled to protect the quarterback in the passing game this past season. With a new quarterback, one destined to have far less experience under his belt, it will be all the more important for the line to improve.

Frey will also be working on opening things up for the running game as Duke has a talented and capable stable of backs to work with.

Up front Duke replaces several key components including center Jack Wohlabaugh and guard Zach Baker. Maurice McIntire, Robert Kraeling, Jacob Monk and Rekavius Chambers all players with experience return, so their is some experience to work with for Frey.
