UMass names Kyle Segler as TE's coach. He replaces Jon Bills.

Speaking of TE's, Vols Wire has an audio interview with Coach Bell discussing his coaching career.
In the interview Coach Bell speaks highly of the Minutemen's tight end room and says UMass will be playing a lot of "12" offensive packages.
In package designations the first digit is the number of running backs and the second the number of TE's, so 12 means one back two TE's.
That also determines the number of wide receivers on the field (i.e. 11 players, five linemen + the QB minus the number of backs and TE's, so two WR's in a "12" package.
00-- no RB's, no TE's, five WR's
01--no RB's 1 TE, 4 WR's
02--no RB;s, 2 TE's, 3 WR's
10--1 RB, 0 TE's, 4 WR's
11--1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR's
12--1 RB, 2 TE's, 2 WR's
13-1 RB, 3 TE's, 1 WR
20--2 RB's, 0 TE's, 3 WR's
21--2 RB's, 1 TE, 2 WR's
22--2 RB's, 2 TE's, 1 WR
23--2 RB's, 3 TE's, 0 WR's (usually called the "Jumbo" package)
