For anyone interested in asking St. Louis HC Anthony Becht a question...
I'm sure it'll be nothing groundbreaking, but it's an easy way for the XFL and Becht to connect with fans that doesn't cost them a thing.

Becht could very well end up the worst case scenario, the Kirby of the XFL (hey somebody's going 1-9). But he at least has cred as an ex-first round pick and, albeit for one year, as an ex-Ram. Plus he has the Martz connection from the AAF, be intrigued to see if he ends up bringing a few of the Fleet coaches in to fill out the rest of his staff.

He has connections to Martz, but also connections to Ken Whisenhunt

Not sure how credible but on Twitter earlier this week someone posted that former Ram Torry Holt would be joining Becht’s staff. However, it didn’t name his job title. Maybe Becht will mention something more on him.

I think there was a picture on Twitter of the Greatest Show on Turf Rams posing with new HOF inductee Dick Vermeil, which led to a St. Louis reporter saying that one player in that picture would be on Anthony Becht's staff, but he wasn't at liberty to divulge who. That might have been what led to the Holt speculation.

Becht is easily the most engaging and social media-savvy of any of the head coaches so far, which may buy him a longer leash from fans and perhaps even the league if things get off to a rocky start for him.

Wasn’t Hakim on the Fleet staff with Becht? He would be my guess.

I wonder who the rest of his staff is going to be? I wonder if he's going to bring on a super experienced coach as a consultant, because that would help him.

I think Hakim was also the WR coach for the BattleHawks in 2020. I'd say it's pretty likely he reclaims that position.
