Umaine Hires Cornerbacks Coach To Complete Football Coaching Staff

The University of Maine’s football coaching staff has been finalized with the hiring of assistant Diamond Weaver, who will be the team’s cornerbacks coach. Weaver has five years of coaching experience, spending the 2017 season as the defensive backs coach for the Green Bay Blizzard of the Indoor Football League. The Blizzard wound up as the league’s top-ranked pass defense. Before his stint with the Blizzard, he had spent one season as the wide receivers coach at Pace University in New York after three years as an assistant at the University of Rhode Island, where he coached the cornerbacks for one season and the running backs for two years. URI is one of UMaine’s Colonial Athletic Association rivals. He will be the third new member of the coaching staff joining wide receivers coach Andrew Dresner and tight ends coach Dean Petzing.
