Staff Scorecard


Mr. Scot

So far this offseason, we need to replace...

- our quarterback coach
- the assistant offensive line coach
- an offensive assistant (maybe)
- one pro scout
- possibly an offensive coordinator

...and of course, a general manager.

More scouting and personnel staff turnover is a real possibility for any team that's getting a new GM. But if I'm a scout and I see them hire Jeff Ireland, I might be even more likely to updaty my resumé.

Going in, the GM change was obvious and of course, everybody knew Brady was likely to get interviews, but it's looking like we may get a decent amount more turnover than expected.

I think we need to concentrate more on replacing the QB and TE before the QB and TE coaches. 

In case this is the first season you have followed the NFL, you have the order of events backwards. Common sense should tell you that a GM might be important to building a roster. Free Agents become available in early/mid March. The draft is April 29th.

I'm going to be interested to see what happens with guys like Jeff Morrow and Matt Allen.

Morrow and Rhule guy Pat Stewart basically have the same title, only Morrow has "executive" in front of his. Kinda doubt we have two guys doing the same thing, though Stewart has a chance at getting promoted. Morrow, not so much.

As to Matt Allen, he's Jerry Richardson's grandson. I couldn't tell you whether he's good at his job or not, but I figure up until David Tepper bought the team it probably didn't matter. Does now.

Either or both could probably land in DC if they're let go here.

Honestly, the defensive coaches and HC were the only ones I was impressed with this season.  I felt like the offensive side of the ball regressed as the season went on.  

I'm guessing a lot of people would agree, but nobody seems interested in stealing any of our defensive coaches.

I think that is a reflection of TB more than the offensive coaching staff.

    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
    • He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
