What coaches do you want retained?

Unless you're the Steelers.

 

(Tomlin reportedly didn't want Dick LeBeau)

 

Well you know JR's affinity for the Steelers, so that may not be too far-fetched. I've been thinking about how McDermott would stack up as a HC. If he were promoted, I would expect the majority of the defensive staff would be retained and, with the exception of Proehl, Skipper and possibly Hoehner and/or Ramsdell, the rest of the offensive staff would be replaced. On special teams, Rogers would be replaced by Bruce DeHaven, who s/h/b the ST coach due to his experience instead of Rivera's college teammate. However, as someone posted earlier, if a new HC is hired it's more likely the whole staff will be turned over.

You don't retain old postion coaches.

New coach brings in his staff.

Unless we want to make the job completely undesirable. A good HC walks into the interview and Dave says we will hire you but these will have to be your coaches....a good HC candidate would just walk away

Ron Meeks and Sam Mills III were all retained from Fox to Ron.

To be fair, Meeks was only kept after he was denied permission to interview Steve Wilks.

 

I know the team asked him to keep Mills on and he agreed.  As I remember, the team kinda wanted him to think about keeping Jim Skipper as well, but he decided not to. 

 

(ended up flipping on that just a short time later, of course)

It is pretty far fetched to think McDerrmott and Lebeau would be respected in the same manner.

Sam Mills III was unqiue. Ron took a lesser job.

There are always odd examples that counter most things. Overall, new coaches hire their own staff. They might want to interview some to keep....it isn't common

    • Calling carrier for getting punched in the nose just to keep us from a 5 on 3
    • I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty
    • And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
