One of Bryan Harsin’s support staff members is leaving for the NFL.
Ben Steele, who joined Auburn’s staff as a special teams analyst during the spring, has left for a position on the Minnesota Vikings’ staff, according to a report by ESPN. Steele, 43, came to Auburn after spending last season as the Atlanta Falcons’ tight ends coach.
The sudden move for Steele came as the Vikings shook up their coaching staff Friday. According to the ESPN report, Minnesota fired offensive line coach/run game coordinator Rick Dennison after he refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Under NFL rules, all Tier 1 staffers -- including coaches, front office members, executives, equipment managers and scouts -- are required to get the vaccine.
After the Vikings parted ways with Dennison, who served in that role for each of the last two seasons, the franchise promoted assistant offensive line coach Phil Rauscher to be the team’s offensive line coach/run game coordinator, according to the report. The Vikings then tabbed Steele to fill Rauscher’s role as assistant offensive line coach.
Steele, a former NFL tight end who spent played from 2001-07, has spent each of the last eight seasons on an NFL coaching staff. Following his retirement as a player, Steele served as a graduate assistant at Colorado in 2010 before making his first foray onto an NFL staff in 2013 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He spent four seasons as a quality control assistant in Tampa Bay before being named the franchise’s tight ends coach from 2017-18. He joined the Falcons as an offensive assistant in 2019 and was promoted to tight ends coach ahead of the 2020 season.
Now, following a brief stint on Harsin’s inaugural staff at Auburn, Steele is headed back to the NFL. His departure leaves Auburn with just one special teams analyst on staff in former Boise State graduate assistant Tanner Tallan.
Still had the needle in his arm as he was running out the door.
Federal law prohibits employers and others from using vaccines under EUA as a condition of employment..
Much remains unknown about the safety and efficacy of the jabs. EUAs are clear: Getting these shots is voluntary..
Wow. Opportunist
Sorry but... there’s no indication, much less proof, that getting the vaccine prevents the vaxxed from spreading the virus. Heck, There’s more proof that the vaccine doesn’t prevent the vaxxed from getting the virus And they’re firing this guy?
Well one wonders about the NFL anyway.
Meanwhile, some dipstick writer for al.com jumped all over Harsin for saying that getting the shot was a personal choice…
Al.com has been commie central for YEARS.
A coworker of mine and her husband got COVID-19 from a a vaccinated friend a few weeks ago. He husband was vaccinated and he got some mild symptoms. My unvaccinated colleague got it worse than her husband, but the vaccinated friend got it the worst of all three.
The jab of The Beast.
Organizations have thrown aside all thought of liability should these shots cause permanent harm. I’ll bet the lawyers for these organizations are turning purple trying to get the boss to listen. I foresee unlimited liability. In the years to come the covide vaccination shots are going to make the tobacco and asbestos suits look inconsequential by comparison.
Maybe since it is so widespread, it will void the liability. “It is generally considered safe.”
One can get covid even if vaccinated. Generally symptoms are less severe. They may not even have symptoms. Now we got these numbnutz vaccinated runnin’ around thinking they are safe, but they can still spread the virus around to others. Meanwhile, we got unvaccinated thinking that viral infection numbers are going generally down and they figure they are safe but if they don’t protect themselves they can get the virus. This is like watching a slow motion multicar pileup.
...”Well one wonders about the NFL anyway.”
No wonderment here...I best leave it there.
So, to work and earn the money that they need to live, people must get The Mark in the form of proof that they have been injected with the poisons labeled COVID vaccines.
Can the four horsemen be far behind???
Full FDA approval will not mean that the poisons labeled COVID vaccines suddenly become safe.
The poisons labeled COVID vaccines will not ever be safe.
Full FDA approval will be affirmation that the FDA is the property of Big Pharma.
If it looks like an apocalypse, and acts like an apocalypse, it is an apocalypse.
When one door closes, another opens. In this case, for someone else.
I think you are so right. The jabbees can’t sue the jab makers, so they will sue the people or companies that coerced them into taking the shots. Personal injury lawyers must be salivating.
The head of the WHO has said publicly, that THE VACCINES DO NO STOP THE TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.
It tells me that people are not paying attention to what the vaccines are supposed to accomplish and that they are assuming that they will stop the virus from being passed to other people.
All of this talk of vaccine passports and restrictions for those who have decided not to get the vaccine is all baloney.
