I have to believe Roushar just wanted to get back to college. Tulane is in New Orleans, so I’m guessing it’s a family decision. Didn’t wanna leave unless he got the Godfather offer somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolly red giant Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 What a sh*t show It’s looking more and more like the hiring of Payton was a panic move and that there was zero plan in place - either by the Walmarts or Payton - to fill out the coaching staff. If Payton was planning on taking a HC job you would have expected that he would have had at least some of his coaching staff lined up - at the very least his OC and DC positions.

broncos67 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I wonder what media personality we'll look at for OC? Hiring Rex Ryan would be an absolute joke. Hasn't coached in seven years. SEVEN! It would be different if he was out of the league for a year, but this is just mind-numbingly stupid. It's weird that the whole Desai thing went cold. Wonder what happened there. I'm not going to panic about the pace of hiring, but suffice it to say, I would be extremely critical of a Rex Ryan hire for so many reasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what happened there. I'm not going to panic about the pace of hiring, but suffice it to say, I would be extremely critical of a Rex Ryan hire for so many reasons. I guess stranger things have happened, but I can't recall a time in the cap era where a coach/coordinator was out of the game for 5+ years, came back, and succeeded right away. Guys who go to college still are actively planning, keeping up with new schemes and trends. Color TV guys? Geez. Sean Desai must have really whiffed the interview to not get consideration. Man, when Evero made it clear he didn't want to return, I figured, OK, we've got a great young D core, no problem, we'll get good talent. One reason why I think Payton's taking a longer time is that our D is clearly suited for the 3-4 personnel wise. NO was predominantly 4-3, so his DC connections aren't so obvious. But Rex Ryan? Man.... I'm not nearly as worried about who we get at OC, since it's Payton who runs the show there - the OC is the details guy (which matters, but you don't need as much to succeed). I'd frankly be OK if we went with an untested guy who can learn under Payton. A guy like Ronald Curry is fine on the O side. If it takes another week to find the right guy at DC - all for it. Just don't see how taking a name with almost no room for future growth, who's been out of the league coaching-wise for so long, is the answer here.

He never goes off the reservation with speculation, the stuff he writes is still pretty much always either in real-time or reactive and never getting ahead of a story. He also broke the news of the TE coach and quality control hires this week so he definitely has access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that as well - but to me, I'm just not thrilled with the idea Rex Ryan would be anything but a courtesy candidate, given they worked in the same TV circle. If we don't hire him, great....but to seriously consider him, let alone hire him, it does raise eyebrows. Again, I'm not worried about the hires on the O side, or ST side - but our 3-4 scheme / personnel do put Payton in an unfamiliar area. And we're not in a position to switch to 4-3 for 2023. So his DC choice has more impact this year, than in future years. Edited February 16, 2023 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
