Possible Assistant Options


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

So who might we look at if, as hoped, this offseason sees some turnover on the coaching staff?

 

Some possibilities (with varying levels of availability)

 

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR

 

Ken Zampese - Quarterback Coach, Cincinnati Bengals (would require permission)

Rick Dennison - Quarterback Coach, Baltimore Ravens (would need permission and could mean changing systems)

Greg Roman - Offensive Coordinator, San Francisco 49ers (likely system change; not that big a fan, honestly)

Marty Mornhinweg - Offensive Coordinator, New York Jets (would mean switching to WCO)

Bill Callahan - Offensive Line Coach, Dallas Cowboys (older, hasn't done well of late)

 

 

SPECIAL TEAMS COACH

 

Bruce DeHaven - Assistant Special Teams Coach, Carolina Panthers (the easy option)

Brad Seely - Special Teams Coach, San Francisco 49ers (Niners next coach may want to keep him)

Bobby April - Special Teams Coach, Raiders (Raiders probably want to keep him)

Joe DeCamillis - Special Teams Coach, Chicago Bears (could be in high demand)

 

 

QUARTERBACK COACH

 

John Ramsdell - Offensive Assistant, Carolina Panthers (again, the easy choice, if he wants the job)

Geep Chryst - Quarterback Coach, San Francisco 49ers (spent several years coaching here, could also be an OC candidate)

Matt Cavanaugh - Quarterback Coach, Chicago Bears (being looked at for the Browns OC job)

Dowell Logains - Quarterback Coach, Cleveland Browns (not all that experienced)

Kyle Shanahan is a free agent OC with experience with mobile QBs. Would be my #1 option personally.

 

Shanahan right now is looking at HC options or maybe a package deal somewhere with his dad.

 

It's possible, but seems highly unlikely.

 

 

I hear this guy named Rob Chudzinski had some success with Cam once...

 

Oh hell no.

 

If we're gonna take from the Colts, I'd go after Clyde Christensen.

I don't think he gets hired as a HC this offseason personally. If the Elder Shanahan comes back, then yeah I can see him going with him. I could also see him wanting to develop his own offense away from his father however.

Zampese for OC- he grew up in the Coryell family and there isn't a doubt in my mind that he could get Cam looking like his old self from his rookie year. I still can't believe we hired Jeff Davidson over this guy.

DeCamillis for ST (DeHaven stays the assistant)- one of the best in the business, nothing else to say.

Ramsdell for QB- The guy has worked with Phillip Rivers, Kurt Warner, and he even made Marc Bulger into a serviceable starter. Easy choice.

I'd definitely look at him, and Gettleman used to work with Mike, so who knows?

I wouldn't argue with any of those choices.

i don't want to switch to a WCO. way too complicated to learn....esp. from a verbiage standpoint. it's ridiculous. not a knock on cam, btw. i think he's bright. i just don't want complicated.

 

i would like for ramsdell to play a larger role. expanding his role to QB coach and having him work on the whole passing game would be great. i don't know about him for OC, but he could help a lot with the passing game and taking cam to another level.

 

dehaven as ST coach should be a no brainer.

 

aside from him, though, i'm not really excited about any of those options.

    • I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
