At what point, though, do we not just expect Foley at ST coach and Knighton or Johnson on DL (esp. Knighton, since if he's not qualified his odds of getting the job skyrocket), and let's just go ahead and pencil in Sparano, because that's a lock

Hard to say.

From my understanding, Okam's connection to Rhule didn't go back as far as some others. Sparano and Gilbride are primarily connected to him through their fathers.

I think the new OC will have a big hand in it. 

Possible. Would probably be a good thing.

That said, Rhule's already being forced out of his comfort zone for the new OC as is. I wonder how much farther that can go.

Blackburn's assistant (Ed Foley) was Rhule's ST coach at Baylor.

On the DL side, Rhule could promote pass rush specialist Don Johnson or conceivably his old Temple player Terrance Knighton, though Knighton would be kind of a surprise because he's extremely underqualified.

OL Coach is arguably the most important choice here. There are very highly regarded options out there in Mike Munchak and Juan Castillo, but Rhule could settle for just promoting Tony's Sparano Jr or calling on former OL assistant Marcus Satterfield if he wanted to come back to the NFL.

lol satterfield just got handed the keys to a free pac 12 head coaching job in 2023, he isn’t going anywhere

There's also this guy...

Word was that Flaherty was up for the OL job when Rhule was making his initial hires. He never materialized though.

Probably a better choice than Tony Sparano Jr but I certainly wouldn't take him over a guy like Munchak, Castillo or even Doug Marrone.

On the DL side, there's a very good option available off the Broncos staff. Longtime DL Coach Bill Kollar has a very solid reputation in that role.

You could also go after best in the business in Rod Marinelli if you think he's still up for it. He coached with the Raiders last year but he's 70 plus years old.

A token sacrificial offering of a bunch of guys Matt rhule doesn’t really know or care to work with 

 

Basically this. Remember when we were excited that they moved on from Brady? Yeah that excitement lasted about 10 mins because he was replaced with a yes man and moron

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
