Losing another offensive assistant

[Mr. Scot]

Though in this case, an assistant to an assistant...

Brady's status is, of course, still up in the air.

[Mills]

Hell of a step up from Asst Oline coach to OC.

He's held other jobs too.

Don't know how he's been with his teammates, but if he's been good I'd be tempted to think of offering the role to Russell Okung.

At this point I figured Brady is as good as gone.

I don’t understand, we weren’t good, why are our coaches being sought after?

Because it’s obvious to everyone with what we had at QB we should have been a 1 or 2 win team at most.

Sometimes it's connections.

Ed Orgeron wanted to get LSU's offense back to the way it was when Joe Brady was there, so he hired a couple of Brady's proteges.

How bad is Teddy Bridgewater? The coaching staff that fielded the #21 ranked offense in yardage and #24 ranked offense in points while going 5-11 with him as their starting QB are evidently the hottest coaches on the market.

Brady wasn't even LSU's OC...he was their Passing Game Coordinator right?  Who was the "official" OC?

Just read he was co-offensive coordinator with Steve Ensminger who has been reassigned.  Brady got lucky getting out of Baton Rouge when he did...I don't think he would have had as good a year in 20-21.

and while we are at it hire Richard Simmons to keep the offensive line guys healthy and on the field.

From my view--A lot is about the former coaching/position group circles.  There are 5-6 at any given time in the college/pro ranks.

For example: McVay, Arthur Smith, Matt LeFleur, Vandy, & a good chunk of their staffs are all in with Nashville & Chicago circles, even extending beyond the leagues.  Beer industry as well.

Same goes for the late 90s Panthers/Stanford/49ers staff that had Polian, two of his sons, Harbaugh, a lot of guys constantly manuevering talent through the west coast programs and a few select NFL teams. 

I call these the silent "drinking buddy" trees of the league.  There are the coaching trees the media likes referring to but they forget the coordinator to position group connects and the ones who are actually friends from connections that aren't tied to their most recent employers. 

BTW, Matt LaFleur still can't hold his liquor, and never will.

No different than any other industry. Who you know often matters a lot more than what you know.

Damn 

[Mr. Scot]

We're also saying goodbye to a scout. Ironically, he's going to Baylor.

(back to Baylor, in this case)

Scouting jobs aren't necessarily safe for teams that are getting new GMs anyway, especially so if they hire Jeff Ireland.
