Offseason NFL News

[Khaki Lackey]

For the fans of Steve Logan on here, he's joining the 49ers.

I saw that a few minutes ago. That's a pisser. I would have loved for the Panthers organization to have brought him on.

I see someone else is a fan of groupon!

Just got mine last week. Best 15 bucks ever.

Jeff Rodgers is a good ST coach also.

Ed Donnatell is joining them to coach DBs too.

 

I still think of these 3 words when I hear Donatell's name - 4th and 26

To be fair, he was facing the legendary Freddie Mitchell.

 

(or would 'mythical' be a better description?)

You couldn't stop Freddie Mitchell, only hope to contain him. But not to less that 27 yards.

Wade Phillips is back in Denver as DC.

9ers staff is an odd one.   

 

Some good names there, but no real leadership or charisma at all.    I do think it's interesting, after all that about keeping Tomsula for continuity, he didn't want anyone else, and then he hired from within for both coordinator spots, so clearly both were plan B.  You get some continuity, but not really (since Geep was a QBs coach on a team where the head coach was heavily involved on offense and the QB, Mangini was there but not even coaching D). 

 

Geep I always liked, and he has OC experience, but nothing to write home about.  For a defensive minded head coach, it's odd.  Now, I'm not much on Sparano but that's a solid addition as a position coach (as is Tarver as LBs), but same problem with Mangini.  Maybe he'll be the leader there- Geep is unassuming but likeable, but that doesn't inspire, and Tomsula is a putzy lackey whose career inspirations were Harbaugh and Singletary, two of the nuttier goobers to take on a team. 

 

 

In comparison, Elway's demand to relive the really old days, looks pretty sound.

Wade Phillips is a monster hire for the Broncos. The guy is a

talented DC.

Denver's coaching staff reminds me of the phrase "getting the band back together".

[Boltergeist]

San Diego is likely to hire Mike Nolan to replace Joe Barry as LB coach. This almost feels like a succession plan if John Pagano gets an HC look next year.

[Mr. Scot]

The hell?

 

Titans part ways with Lake Dawson

 

The departure of Dawson is something of a surprise. A former NFL wide receiver, Dawson had spent the last eight seasons with Tennessee. He interviewed for the Bears’ G.M. role in January and also talked with the Dolphins and Buccaneers about their G.M. positions last year.

 

He interviewed for our GM job too.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing him join us in some capacity,
