Barlow as the new DB coach has not been announced publicly yet. Note the date of the tweet, it was Jan. 18 which is 5 days ago. The hire may need some type of official approval before a public release can be made. Coach Stoker as LB coach was announced publicly yesterday I believe.

Has the new special teams coach been hired, or did I miss it?
