After about two years in the bus business, Storer realized his passion was in coaching. He had stayed in touch with Rich Bisaccia over the years – after he had played for Bisaccia with the Buccaneers from 2007-09 and coached under him at the Buccaneers and Chargers – and when an opportunity to join Jon Gruden's staff with the Raiders in 2018 presented itself, Storer jumped back to the NFL.
He has used his experience in the bus business and his four years with the Raiders, as well as his 10 years coaching under Bisaccia, to grow as a coach. Now, Storer has taken the next step in his coaching career as the new special teams coordinator for the Browns, his first coordinator position in his NFL career.
"The building blocks are here, the foundation of players is here," Storer said. "I'm really excited about the players. There's guys that I am going to work with that I'm pretty excited about, and it's Andre Szmyt and Rex Sunahara and guys like Winston Reid and Nate (Nathaniel) Watson and Easton Mascarenas-Arnold, Donovan McMillon, Chris Edmonds, Adin Huntington, Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain."
As Storer and the Browns look to re-establish the success of special teams units, Storer believes a strong foundation of techniques and fundamentals will provide them the base to build off of in each phase of special teams. Once players are back at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus, they will begin with coverage and drill that phase. Then they will move on to punt protection and finally return phases. He plans to rely on drill work to start the process and allow his players to master the techniques and fundamentals needed.
