Maybe on a 4th down or out of a timeout, but for the most part, Montgomery calls the plays... And when you get shut out in half of league games in the 2nd half, that's a problem. This will not change as long as he's here.

This is absolutely correct. Wolf's background is an OL coach. He has probably never called a play on his own. Monty would certainly listen to his advice but most OC's don't want someone else in their head when they are trying to think.
SoupCity:
While Pelini wasn’t ready to release any names on Monday — “We’ll release it all when everything is in place and ready to go” — a source said he plans to retain offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery, a former head coach at Miami (Ohio) who spent the last five years on Eric Wolford’s staff. Linebackers coach Ron Stoops (a fellow Cardinal Mooney graduate and former assistant for the Cardinals) and safeties coach Michael Zordich (a former assistant at Cardinal Mooney) also will be back and offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo is likely to return, the source said. Defensive coordinator Jamie Bryant will not return.“I’m looking for high-energy guys, guys that share my philosophy,” Pelini said of his coaching staff. “Guys I know or guys I get to know that really fit what I want to do and how we’re gonna run the program and what we want to do to help these kids grow. That’s what it’s all about.” - See more at: http://www.vindy.com/news/2015/jan/06/pelini-settles-in-at-ysu/#sthash.clyVcQe6.dpuf

I'm very happy to hear Bricillo is likely staying. Of all of our old assistants, he is the one I wanted to keep most.
ysufan0505:
Looks like Montgomery, Zordich, and Stoops are locks to stay.... Grad assistant coming over from Nebraska per Football Scoop.
"Youngstown State: Bo Pelini has retained Shane Montgomery, Ron Stoops and Mike Zordich per Chad Krispinsky who covers YSU. A source tells FootballScoop that former Nebraska grad assistant TJ Hollowell will join Pelini’s staff as linebackers coach."

The ones I would most like to see stay are Bricillo, Bryant and Gallon.
