I want to discuss something positive. Please keep Jeff Ireland out of this thread. I don't care if you think we won't find a good one with him at the helm. I want to know who you guys think would be the best choice.
Has to be Gary Kubiak. We need someone with a history of coaching QBs. Steve Young and John Elway? Sounds good to me
Very weary of the McAdoo link being brought up. I really think Aaron Rodgers is just special and would thrive under most coaches. Oh, and the guy was a TE coach when Rodgers was at his best in 2010 and 2011.
Kubiak would be great as an OC and QB coach. I think the QB and OL coach need to be fired. My first choice would be Joe Lombardi. Young (32). In an aggressive offensive system at New Orleans. And has been a QB coach there throughout Brees and Payton's tenure. Joe Lombardi Quarterbacks; born June 6, 1981, Seattle. Tight end Air Force 1992-94. No pro playing experience. College coach: Dayton 1996-98, Virginia Military Institute 1999, Bucknell 2000, Mercyhurst 2002-05. Pro coach: Atlanta Falcons 2006, joined Saints in 2007.
What do you guys think about Scottie Montgomery? Former WR coach for the Steelers, familiar with Mike Wallace. Helped that Duke offense put up POINTS
God help me but I'd actually really like to see what Mike Shannahan could do w Tannehill. Wouldn't mind Chud or Kubiak either.
No ****ing clue. Seriously. Not a ****ing one. Its not gonna be one that anyone will like....and...Im just dumb enough to believe he will get us back to torching defenses. I want an OC that can out coach...the other team. He can do that with 5 plays..or he can do that with 500. I dont care. I want an OC that can adapt. That can exploit matchup issues. That will move guys around....that will put the ball in the hands of the play makers. Who is that OC? **** if I know
Me too, but unfortunately that'll never happen. Can't see him taking a demotion to OC after he's been a HC for over 15 years I'd take Kubiak in a second too
I think we should stay away from someone who had the blessing of coaching Drew Brees. Brees would make any QB coach look good
Never know. In fantasy land, maybe he's tired of the HC gig and wants to specialize as an OC and still thinks very highly of Tanny. Forgot about Linehan, I'd def take him too. Quite a few decent options.
I actually think the OC of the Broncos could be something special.. Even that backup QB they drafted recently is looking good
What if Shannahan was named assistant HC. Perhaps we could get Tannehill another Terrell Davis. The problem is, only Green Bay's assistans are now available to interview. Hopefully we get more options after next weekend. I'd like them to look at Greg Roman, the 49ers OC.
Roman is going to be in line for head coaching gigs pretty soon. I can't see him leaving SF for another OC job. For that matter, I can't see the 9ers letting him interview for another OC job. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
A lot of the media have chimed in, but I doubt that the next OC will be a former HC or OC from another team. Rumors have Ben McAdoo from GB, an old cohort of Philbin's... I'd love to see Kubiak, but with philbin still on a one yr contract, pickings could be slim...
This is what I would be concerned about as well: Andrew Abramson @AbramsonPBP 20m Some people have made the point,and I agree, that landing top-notch OC may be difficult with Philbin's job potentially on line next season.
Honestly don't have a clue either.. A lot of these offensive coordinators out there, have some bad habits. Even Kubiak has bad habits, Linehan as well. I'll just trust Philbin with McAdoo if that's his choice. Regardless if it fails Philbin is gone next year, so it's a one year deal for the new offensive coordinator. Here's your shot McAdoo, don't blow it.
Kyle Shanahan would be good, he was a good OC for Houston. I think Miami is more talented than Washington and has a healthy QB, which is why the Redskins sucked this year.
This is more or less true If I'm a young OC I look at the points allowed per game and think I can probably help turn it around. The offense isn't totally devoid of talent and we have talent returning from injury. If I'm an experienced coach maybe I dont want the mess. Maybe I want something more stable. Young people are more likely to jump in and tackle challenges people seem to think they shouldn't IMO.
How many good teams have offensive coordinator positions open? Generally a team that is in a good situation doesn't have to fire their offensive coordinator. Might be one or two a year at most.
I mean more along the lines of an older coach wanting to A) Go to a successful team who had their OC promoted elsewhere. B) A new regime where I have time to implement a long term plan.
It's almost certainly going to be someone in a West Coast-based offensive tree. Guys like Chudzinki, Turner, Linehan are probably not going to get any consideration. I'd prefer it be someone along the lines of Gary Kubiak or Mike Shanahan.
My hope was to have Philbin fired and bring in Malzahn. But it doesn't look like that will happen. Rhett Lashlee is Auburn's OC and has moved around with Malzahn pretty much his whole career. He's very young (30) and has no NFL experience, but with Philbin as an experienced offensive coach I'm not sure how much of a problem that really would be. Malzahn says he deserves a lot of credit, but I really don't know what that dynamic is there. But it would be a bold and interesting move.
Shannahan without a doubt would be my top choice to run this offense...No question about it. Guy has always made the most out of his quarterbacks and running backs...Two positions that really need to be developed in order for us to get anywhere.
I would take a long hard look at Norv Turner. He got that offense moving at times, especially with Brian Hoyer in. Their combined QB statistics were not really that bad.
