Last week we spoke about June Jones potentially poaching coaches during his trip to the Grey Cup. One of the names that was brought up was Ticats Special Teams coordinator, Jeff Reinebold. It has since been reported that Reinebold has re-signed with the Ticats.

We are now learning via Mark Berman that the Houston Roughnecks have hired former Oilers LB, Robert Lyles to coach the Defensive Line and Special Teams.
