That's a question for any/everyone, really. Not sure how I feel about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a question for any/everyone, really. Not sure how I feel about it. it's not exactly black and white. i think i'd be more inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt on offense. i'm torn on an in-house hire because who wouldn't want continuity with what we were able to do this year? but on the other hand, there's no really strong in-house candidate (which is, imo, something that vrabel is going to need to start asking of his OCs- finding/bringing in high-potential developmental guys on staff to groom). frankly i think i'd be more skeptical of tim kelly than i would of an in-house candidate just because he's sooooo close to home. on defense, i suppose he deserves credit for pees but who's to say that wasn't lucking out on a personal relationship he had? the extent to which the defense was mismanaged this year obliterates any goodwill i had for him on that side of the ball.

That's a question for any/everyone, really. Not sure how I feel about it. I can understand an in-house hire on offense, but it’s interesting since we don’t have anyone on staff that is really from the Shanahan tree. So while we’d assume that a guy like O’Hara would provide continuity, his experience calling plays is exclusively limited to the arena league. Basically, I’d probably prefer an outside hire with playcalling experience (Jay Gruden?), but I can deal with promoting from within on that side of the ball. On defense, if we don’t hire a DC outside of the building, we riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hope- Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 he’s a great fit there- that offense will be humming with matt ryan and the running game. congrats to art! really interested to see where we go from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Perfect landing spot for him. Established QB, some good WRs, and a high pick. Also, Atlanta is pretty close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'll be in the NFC, so if he's having success it won't hurt us like the Jags or Texans (or to a lesser extent the Jets or Chargers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Happy for Arthur. Dude has definitely earned this opportunity. Wouldn’t be surprised if Keith Carter joins him to be his OC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Could be a good spot for him, but that is not a young offense. Mostly comes down to if he can get the same things out of Matt Ryan that Shanahan did three or four years ago. Will be interesting to see where we go from here. Despite my complaints, Art is a loss and we could, and have, done a whole lot worse. Lot of pressure on Vrabel and Robinson to hit on these two hires.

-Hope- Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 the more i think about it the more i'm interested in getting a power spread guy. having looked at guys like ryan day and tony elliott it's certainly something that vrabel has considered too. i think incorporating more of those elements might lend a little more balance to our offense.

615finest Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I hope our next OC finds more creative ways to get AJ the ball like jet sweeps and screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
