New Idaho football coach Paul Petrino has at least part of his staff complete. He has hired Bryce Erickson, the 
son of former Vandals coach Dennis Erickson, while The Spokesman-Review has learned Petrino will retain tight ends coach Al Pupunu and bring in Washington graduate assistant Mike Anderson as linebackers coach. Anderson is a former UI linebacker who also was a GA at Idaho. Pupunu is the only coach from the previous staff that has been retained at this point, according to a source. Offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Jason Gesser, who served as UI's interim coach the last four weeks of the season, will not return/Josh Wright, SR SportsLink. More here.

Question: Are you sad to see Gesser go?
