scar988 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Just trying to think of guys who fit this mold. Someone like Tom Moore who only ever was an offensive coordinator his entire life. Or Alex Gibbs, who was only ever an OL coach. Anyone have any others that fit this? Edited June 24, 2023 by scar988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Jeff Stoutland has been one of if not the best OL coach in the NFL for almost a decade. Despite 3 separate coaching changes with the Eagles. While other OL coaches have become HC, I have no idea if he would succeed at micromanaging an entire staff/team but honestly believe he probably could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Johnson was another one of the Eagles long line of coaches who was a DC for years despite being a good HC candidate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to mention JJ 1st but for some reason thought he was a HC in AZ at some point. Brain fart. Yes Jim Johnson 🥃 Edited June 24, 2023 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite Tom Moore quote was when he was asked about why Peyton Manning takes all the practice snaps and Jim Sorgi doesn’t get any, in case of injury. Moore said ‘Fellas, if 18 goes down we're (expletive), and we don't practice (expletive).’ I’d like to add former Colts OL coach Howard Mudd to the list of great coaches who never became a head coach. He was an OL coach in the league from 1974-2012 with a brief retirement in 2010 before retiring for good in 2012 San Diego Chargers (1974–1976) (OL) San Francisco 49ers (1977) (OL) Seattle Seahawks (1978–1982) (OL) Cleveland Browns (1983–1988) (OL) Kansas City Chiefs (1989–1992) (OL) Seattle Seahawks (1993–1997) (OL) Indianapolis Colts (1998–2009) (OL) Philadelphia Eagles (2011–2012) (OL) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's not NFL, but Bud Foster is on that path, dude's been the DC at Virginia Tech for like 20 years now. On offense, Pete Carmichael's run with the Saints is nuts, and Eric Bieniemy deserves a nod until next year when he drops off the list.

Yeah. For me, he’s the ultimate OC who never became a HC but probably could have easily with his track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
