Doug Cosbie, classe 1956 sarà il nuovo Offensive coordinator dei Giants Bolzano per la stagione 2019.
Tante sono le novità che ci riguardano e le sveleremo nel corso delle prossime settimane, so stay tuned.
Abbiamo deciso di partire con l’ufficializzare proprio l’ OC, ex giocatore NFL, con un enorme bagaglio di esperienza nel mondo del football. Cosbie, infatti dopo aver frequentato il Saint Francis High School, ha studiato a Santa Clara presso il College of the Holy Cross dove si è presto messo in luce come TE tanto da essere entrato nella Hall of Fame della scuola.
Nel 1979 fa il suo debutto in NFL, draftato nel terzo round dai Dallas Cowboys dove vi rimarrà per 10 anni, fino al 1989 quando firmerà con i Denver Broncos per poi ritirarsi dal football nel corso della stagione.
Dal 1990 Cosbie ha messo a disposizione degli atleti la sua esperienza diventando coach, prima proprio la Santa Clara University e quindi presso altre università di prestigio tra cui Stanford e California University. Coach Cosbie non è nemmeno nuovo al panorama del football italiano, ove infatti ha già allenato nel 2010 e nel 2016 i Lions Bergamo.
L’abbiamo raggiunto per voi in modo da poterlo conoscere attraverso le sue parole
1. Welcome to the family Coach! Can you tell us why did u choose to come back to Italy?
1. My wife and I love Italy and have many good friends in Northern Italy. 2019 will be my third season coaching in Italy. I have coached and worked with some of the current Giant’s players and coaches. Bolzano is a beautiful city and I am excited to be able to live in the city. I coached in Bergamo in 2010 and 2016 and have always had great respect for the Giants organization and team from competing against them. One of the best organization in the IFL.
2. Did you have the chance to see some italian football games lately? Do you think the italian football movement is improving?
2. I was able to see the Giants play last April when I was in Italy for a friends wedding. Football has definitely improved in Italy since 2010. The players are playing with more skill and their fundamentals have improved.
3. What type of offense do you run and what will you expect from your players?
3. The offense will play fast, up tempo, no huddle, with 4 and 5 WRs attacking the whole field. Short quick throws, vertical throws and attacking the middle of the field. The offensive line and wide receivers are one of the best in Italy. We will bring in a QB that is a passer first but one that also run when needed to compliment the teams offensives strengths.
