Who is the college program builder who has worked out recently in the NFL? Honest question, I can’t think of one. Kingsbury is too fresh to include I think.
Count me in. I don't know what it would take to lure him here, from his awesome current job, but they should try. I would also be fine with Roman. I do think that he lucked into success a little with Lamar Jackson. But either one would be light years ahead of anything we've had recently!
100000% agreed... i want no part of this guy. How many other OC or head coaches were running backs? It’s not the typical path. I have to think many in the league have the same concern, or he would have been hired already
One thing about Roman that no one mentions that I think is a big positive, is besides his offensive experience . He was a Defensive player and a defensive coach , as well as strength and conditioning coach early on in his career with the Panthers .So he is also experienced on the Defensive side as well as offense. A big plus for a H.C. IMO...
Gase will be here next season as well, why these threads even get started, I always get a kick out if the love affair for OCs, they're great look at his offense top notch every year, they all have one thing in common, great QBs, why you guys can't figure this out baffles me.
I’m not sure this guy will be the one. It’s Andy Reid’s team that is explosive, not Eric’s. Without Maholmes how good would they be?
I get people not wanting Eb and that is fair I like Roman as well the most important thing is to get the right person to build a young qb and offense
That's a weird reason to not want someone. Anthony Lynn was a runningback. It's not false, but I don't think that's a legitimate deterrent.
Doug Peterson was in a similar role in Philly w Reid as Bienemy is now. You hear conflicting things about if Eric calls plays or not.But Reid seems to have a really good eye for coaches & they seem to grow under him. Not really that concerned if Bienemy calls plays or not.More interested in his philosophies,his eye for talent,his coaching network & if he can lead this team out of the darkness.
Dan Reeves was a RB. Played in Super Bowls V and VI, assistant coach in Super Bowls X, XII, and XIII, Head Coach in Super Bowls XXI, XXII, XXIV, and XXXIII. Maybe atypical, but I wouldn't knock it.
Not a bad point. But how many make the move? How many have done so recently? There are more Carroll's and Harbaugh's out there. We need a football commander not guys who coached offense for a couple years. I think we'll start to see more make the jump honestly. This is a new generation of player (millenials and beyond) that will command a different type of players coach. The Belichick/Zimmer disciplinarian style is going to slowly migrate back to only college I'd think.
How much difference does coaching make to a QB do you think? I get playcalling being important, but aren't these guys pretty much who they are going to be by the time they make it to the NFL? Has anyone seen a player drastically improve through coaching? I might have just missed it as the Jets don't ever seem to have had anyone that can coach players up
Alex Smith looked like a lost cause for a while. Jared Goff was awful in 2016. Drew Brees was very good in his final years with the Chargers, but turned it up a few notches in New Orleans.
to be clear, its not the sole reason by any means, but coupled with the fact he doesnt call the plays, and has a stacked offense; it definitely adds to the red flags for me. Anthony Lynn isnt exactly setting the world on fire himself, so not sure that really helps EBs case either. We can throw names out there all day and night, but the more I think about it, it becomes more and more obvious to me why JD needs to hire the next coach. I dont know if it needs to be an offensive or defensive mind, but more importantly someone in harmony with him in regards to the type of football they want to play, type of players to draft / sign, etc.
