Leadership: 2015 vs Today


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Someone made a comment in a thread that made me curious so I thought I'd look at them side by side.

Owner: Jerry Richardson / David Tepper
General Manager: Dave Gettleman / Marty Hurney
Assistant General Manager: Brandon Beane / None

Head Coach: Ron Rivera / Perry Fewell (interim)
Assistant Head Coach: Steve Wilks / Norv Turner (technically titled "Special Assistant to the Head Coach")

Offensive Coordinator: Mike Shula / Scott Turner
Quarterbacks: Ken Dorsey / Scott Turner
Runningbacks: Jim Skipper / Jake Peetz
Wide Receivers: Ricky Proehl / Jim Hostler
Assistant Wide Receivers: Cam Turner / Jerricho Cotchery
Tight Ends: Pete Hoener
Offensive Line: John Matsko (has since been given the added title of "Run Game Coordinator")
Assistant Offensive Line: Ray Brown / Travelle Wharton
Offensive Assistant: John Ramsdell / Drew Terrell (Offensive Quality Control)

Defensive Coordinator: Sean McDermott / Eric Washington (officially)
Defensive Line: Eric Washington / Sam Mills III (also listed as "Game Management" Coach)
Assistant Defensive Line: Sam Mills III / None
Linebackers: Al Holcomb / Steve Russ
Assistant Linebackers: None / Everette Brown
Defensive Backs: Steve Wilks / Perry Fewell
Assistant Defensive Backs: Richard Rodgers (currently listed as Safeties Coach)
Nickel Backs: Curtis Fuller / None
Defensive Quality Control: None / Vincent Rivera

Special Teams Coordinator:  Bruce DeHaven / Chase Blackburn
Assistant Special Teams: Russ Purnell / Ben Jacobs

Strength and Conditioning: Joe Kenn
Assistant Strength and Conditioning: Jason Benguche / None

The only guys who still have the same duties as they did four years ago are John Matsko, Pete Hoener, Richard Rodgers (ugh), Joe Kenn and (mostly) Sam Mills III.

There are a few spots where I might say we're better (OC, though it was more Norv than Scott; hopefully team owner) but in the vast majority of positions I'd say we've either gotten worse or it's a wash.

Overall...Ouch.

That’s all you need to know.

While I agree, I think the difference in defensive coordinator looms very, VERY large.

We replaced arguably one of the best in the game with Eric Washington, and then when he failed Rivera tried to cover for him rather than letting him go and getting someone more competent.

The impact of that was devastating.

Yes I should have included McDermott. The guy who is having decently good success up in buffalo. I mean it’s not like him and beane made it to the playoffs or anything 2/3 years. 

Edit: In a division I should add that the top spot is basically already locked.

I've long said that I liked Ron Rivera as a person, but the whole McDermott / Washington debacle makes me mad enough to wanna curse him.

Seriously Ron, what in the bloody hell were you thinking? :mad:

There you go.  Let it out big fella.  Its cathartic.  These people are stupid.  They just pretended it was ok and never ruffled a khaki or tugged a croaky.  He mowed his lawn and attended the HOA meetings.  Good Guy Ron for the LOSS!

I said in another thread that if Rivera had hired a real DC, there is a good chance he would still be here. Wilks was at least qualified for the position. 

It will be interesting to see what role Washington has on Rivera's next staff wherever he ends up.

DL where he is best suited. Unless he wasn’t the one calling the line switched back when we were good.

I think I'm also coming around to the idea that defenses are just too cyclical for you to base your team around them.

Some defenses stay good for a while, but most do not.  Maybe it's differences in offenses, differences in schedule, personnel, whatever....Just seems like you can build a consistent year in and year out offense, but that doesn't seem to work as well with defenses.

Maybe it's just the rule changes and the bounce of the ball, but much like 1 score wins and INT's, they just fluctuate so much.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
