What do your know about any of these guys and their offensive innovation? McCarthy has never struck me as all that innovative. I've had enough slow-mo football where it almost seems like the coach is afraid to press the gas and leave tread marks on the opposition. All that playing down to the competition and essentially rubber banding yourself to them until your pull away at the last moment is for the birds. 

McCarthy ran a pretty standard WCO, from what I recall.

He has a Panther connection via Jake Delhomme. He was Jake's quarterback coach in New Orleans before moving on to Green Bay.

I know he has a football pedigree from his dad, but I don't remember his dad having a whole lot of good years at WVU when given the opportunity.   Maybe Jr. is different and obviously not auditioning for head coach.  When I remember WVU coaches that have done well one name stands out  - Bobby Bowden.

   I know him and like him but would not hire him, or any of them for a nfl team.

I also knew a couple folks who knew Cignetti.  From what I heard he wasn't a bad guy.  just not a good nor great coach.  Same way I feel about Rivera - seems like a outstanding dude to me in all respects and I respect the guy by all accounts I have heard of him- just not who you want running your coaching squad from the results I have seen.

He found his calling at IUP. You can be nice in Div 2.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
