incognito_man Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 In a complete 180, I'm offering this: Head coach - Josh McDaniels He's an electric playcaller, and quite frankly we probably need to go for a boom pick to maximize Rodgers last few years here. Offensive coordinator - Kliff Kingsbury Another young, electric offensive mind who would seem likely to want to work with either a McDaniels/Rodgers combo or McVay/Goff combo to leverage into a potential NFL HC gig in a couple years. Defensive coordinator - Steve Spagnuolo McDaniels goes with a guy he worked with when with the Rams. I can't see Spags getting a HC nod, but I bet the GB position would be attractive for him. Goners: Tramon and Crosby are cut to bring us to about $50 million under. Free agents - Earl Thomas. There will be a few nice safeties on the market. But we ink ET to a similar deal as Jimmy Graham. Thinking about 3yrs, $32 mil. Muhammad Wilkerson. Bring him back. I want to see Spags with Clark, Daniels and Wilkerson. Another 1 yr $4mil ish deal. Brandon Graham. Still playing like a top 10 edge guy. And fits nicely in a Spags scheme. A healthy Perry and Graham are nice bookends. 3 years, about $29million for Graham. Your favorite guard here, there's a few. Maybe $6-$7 million per. JJ Nelson. Get another vet WR on a bargain deal. Probably an ILB too. We need one for depth and insurance for Jake Ryan. But I have to go now.

Sasquatch Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Actually, McDaniels and Kingsbury could create a pretty damn dynamic offense I believe. Spagnuolo would work also. No objections to the personnel suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If we are going to bring in Kingsbury to help ignite the offense, why not just hire him as HC, then we don't have the stench of McDaniels near our franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Kliff is so dreamy. I'd hire him just for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong - the wire is on overload with potential candidates and possible supporting casts. I’ll see what I can dig up, because I’m curious also. Why I think it could be dynamic is that you combine the pro-style with the new, college offensive schemes. Could be a recipe for disaster also I suppose.

The only tie I'm seeing is that Kliff Kinsbury played for the Patriots in 2003 when Josh McDaniels was a defensive assistant. The problem I'm seeing is they're both natural play callers. Is McDaniels really the type to give up play calling? I don't think so. And Kliff should have his choice of a LOT of jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would Kliff take the OC gig only to not call plays. 1 hour ago, ThatJerkDave said: If we are going to bring in Kingsbury to help ignite the offense, why not just hire him as HC, Bcuz coaching Texas Tech was too much for him to handle.

Just because there's a connection between he and McDaniels and the timing would be right. Also think he's really good. And @thrILL!good point about Kliff not taking a non-playcalling gig. I agree.

I think the more likely scenario if we hired McDaniels is Kliff would replace him with NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachbuns Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Like any situation where we get some offensive help on the play calling. The west coast style is gone and time to take advantage of our qb while he still has upside. Don't have any input on defensive side but need a NEW special teams coach and reevaluation of our strength training/medical staff as our soft tissue injuries have been crippling the past few years.

Then lets hire Fangio and bring in Kingsbury. Im not attached to Pettine. Although i think he has done a good job Im satisfied to let Vic pick is own defensive staff.
