Football Coaches Gaining NFL Experience over the Summer

Three members of the Seton Hill football coaching staff are gaining valuable experience working with NFL teams over the summer.  Offensive coordinator Charles Eger is currently working with the St Louis Rams during their OTAs.  Defensive coordinator Gerard Wilcher and linebackers coach Aaron McGinty will be working with teams from July 27th thru August 9th through the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship.  Wilcher will be working with the Denver Broncos and McGinty will be working with the Carolina Panthers.

The Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship is an annual program administered by the NFL Management Council and NFL Player Engagement.  The program's objective is to use NFL Clubs' training camps, offseason workout program and minicamps to give talented minority coaches opportunities to: observe, participate, gain experience and ultimately gain a full time NFL position.  Designed as a vocational tool to increase the number of full-time NFL minority coaches, all 32 NFL Clubs participate in the program on an annual basis. Specific aspects of the program (including hiring, salary and coaching duties) are administered on a Club-by-Club basis.  No elements of the Fellowship are mandated to the Clubs by the League office, but several "best practices" have been strongly recommended to the Club, including: articipants are hired for the duration of training camp, including all pre-season games and the clubs are encouraged to hire a minimum of four (4) participants.
