Maile has been on the staff for four years now, working the past two seasons as the team's defensive line coach. From the looks of thigns, he'll stay in that role, giving the team much needed continuity on the defensive side of the ball. One has got to think that Maile has learned quite a bit from the likes of Gary Andersen and Dave Aranda over the last few seasons, making him a valuable asset to keep on staff.
And that's without even mentioning that two of his players earned all-WAC honors this year with Al Lapuaho landing on the first team and freshman Jordan Nielsen on the second team. Connor Williams was an honorable mention selection as well.
Maile also has some experience in the areas of strength and conditioning, which could be some welcomed continuity should Evan Simon indeed be leaving the Aggies.
While one position is filled, there are plenty more spots to sort out moving forward. A lot of that will likely have to do with which of USU's assistants from this past season are indeed headed elsewhere and which can be retained. Rumors have been flying around indicating all sorts of different things, so it's probably safer just to let things play out.
Stay tuned to this moving forward.
