Minnesota is reportedly moving on from Mike Zimmer. There are a ton of young coaches on his staff though. There OC in Gary Kubiak's son I think.

Minnesota and Chicago both have some good coaches on staff,  especially Chicago with OL Coach Juan Castillo.

Not posting those until their firings are official though...

It is suspected Nagy will be fired so the bear's staff may be available. I have also saw reports that David Culley could be a one-and- done coach.

Bill Lazor is Nagy's OC. He's never been a HC but as been OC of several teams and also a former QB coach. He has coached Ryan T, and Nick Foles at different times among others.

Based on what evidence is he "not bad at all" as a QB coach?

As a QB coach he's worked with Jay Fiedler, David Garrard and Cam Newton.  He never fixed Cam's mechanical issues, despite being the guy with the best opportunity to do so.  The other two guys were the definition of JAG's.

Mike Shula is a name.  That's all.

Yeah Shula was honestly worse as a QB coach than he was as an OC, and he was a terrible OC...

I would give Shula credit for helping with Cams initial transition to the NFL, but after that you never really saw further technical progression as a passer. He was just enormously talented even in a league where virtually everyone is enormously physically talented.

One guy I would keep an eye on is Hugh Janus. His name has been making the rounds for some time now. 

Mike Oxyooj has also been very popular for years.  His cousin Mike Oxsmall is not as in-demand, but sources say he knows how to get the most out of what he is given to work with.

Cam's early development under Shula's coaching was pretty solid. He and from looking like he had no idea what he was doing just two weeks prior to his first game to putting up a pretty solid performance.

Shula may have been out of his depth as an OC, but yes he's a good quarterback coach.

That's it?  One QB who never progressed as a passer past what he accomplished in his first season?

That's what it takes to be a good QB coach?  Your standards for "good" seem far too low.

Frankly, he's terrible.  Cam's greatness came largely from Cam up until Norv and Scott showed up, by which time there were only 8 games left before his career effectively ended.

Come on man, this isn't even remotely controversial.  Shula is terrible.

    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
    • I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
