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.

    • yeah, I think XL gets comical fan hate at this point.   did he have some drops? Sure.  He was basically in the same ballpark as Worthy, Coleman, Mitchell, etc. of the same draft class.  Rookies.  Happens.  His career began on a team that had horrific QB play.  Improved to meh QB play.   And finished with a couple random "good" games graded on a Bryce curve.  And it was literally just a couple.  Games where Not sure what people expect to happen in that situation and Bryce isn't the naturally pairing in terms of play style for a WR like XL (which we all acknowledged when we drafted him).  I think XL leads the team in yards this year actually.  I think father time officially catches AT this year.  I think Tmac will have some legit growing pains (which is also fine).  
    • Even if it's fluffed up, this team needs some confidence and optimism. I mean, look what happened to Bryce once he got his confidence back, he balled out. Sometimes if you just feel great about yourself, you'll play great. 
    • Ayton would have been a nice get but I didn’t think it was really possible he would come here.  He is from Cali and seems to prefer that part of he country
