MikeT14 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 3 minutes ago, ARTMONK HOF said: No, not at all. I believe Bill Callahan was given the OC title. I just thought it was kind of odd that you’re starting as a HC for the first time and you are handing those duties off to a guy who has never done it before. Ben calling the plays makes sense, I guess it’s a title thing when you call someone the OC I just imagine/assume he’s the guy that calls the plays. 15 years ago you're probably right.

Who do you all want to possibly see be brought in for DC? On the otherside, we hire Mike Macdonald. Who for OC? OCs: Anthony Lynn (SF AHC, RB), Alex Van Pelt (Browns OC), Brian Johnson (Eagles OC), Tanner Engstrand (Lions PGC) DC: Ben Bloom (Browns D-Line), Ephraim Banda (Browns safeties), Shane Bowen (Titans DC), Donald D'Alesio (Chiefs safeties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic leader, got a raw deal from his time with the Bucs but he’s spent a lot of time developing himself and has spent a good amount of time around some great offensive minds.

naptownskinsfan Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, ARTMONK HOF said: OK. Why bring Hank Fraley here as the OC? Is it what I said that they’re close and that’s the way to get him here. Will he be the lead OL Coach but call him the OC? When Gruden and McVay were here, McVay game planned the offense and basically did everything but call the plays. That is how it would work. They could also offer Assistant Head Coach- OL or something like that. Many NFL and college teams do that as well. We did it with Bill Callahan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 23 hours ago, e16bball said: If we’re sticking in the 4-3, I’d be pretty interested in Ryan Nielsen as a DC option. Looks like the Falcons are going to let him walk. They had a pretty nice season on defense and took a big leap forward under his stewardship — although surely some of that was related to signing a few good players. He’s a DL coach by trade, and extremely well-regarded in that area. We may need some help with that, especially if the draft skews heavily towards the offense (as I expect it to). Adam Schefter Jaguars are set to hire former Falcons’ defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen as their new defensive coordinator, per sources.

ARTMONK HOF Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Ian Rapoport The #Panthers are hiring Dan Morgan as their new GM, per me, @JamesPalmerTV, and @TomPelissero. After an exhaustive search, Carolina stays in-house. A former Pro Bowl player in Carolina, Morgan has been assistant GM since 2021. Now promoted, he’ll work to hire the new coach.

I do worry about filling out a staff for him because the ravens overall have an amazing defensive staff and I don’t think most of them are leaving when they’d more than likely get promoted. But that’s with any younger coach who are they filling their staffs out with. This is clearly a big battle for Johnson as most the teams haven’t made hires. So honestly I’m worried a lot more than just about Carolina. But we will see if he wants to be here we will ultimately get him. If not then honestly we just have to hope it’s for the best. Personally I think the clean slate along with the Peters hire and the very through job I think he’s doing with this search and with the holdover staff the fact that everyone wasn’t just fired I think speaks volumes. He could have came in and axed everyone. But he clearly came in got to work and is giving people on job chances to show their value even if it’s just collecting reports and getting to know them behind the scenes I think this is a great thing having patience in the most pivotal football position on this team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not Vrabel the HC as we know yet but he’s maximized a Bengals defense that really is void of a superstar and they’ve been really tough. We will se how he is as a HC. One less team in the Ben Johnson market though I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying when you have Mike Vrabel, who did more with less, and by all accounts was a great leader, the move has to be seen as an upgrade or a higher upside move. This just isn't that to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll regret it for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
