Al Holcomb promoted to assistant head coach

Well, he does have a decade plus of NFL coaching experience so at least there's that. He was a grad assistant at Temple but that was well before Rhule's days there. Kinda odd to have a former NFL HC on the staff and not have him be in this role but I've always assumed these types of titles are basically just that - titles. Maybe it'll help out his resume but I'm not sure it comes with much or any more sway inside the organization.

Yeah I agree - though I did find it interesting that the article noted he is expected to assist Phil Snow more with defensive game planning.  Not sure how much assistants do that anyways...I would imagine they'd all be involved to some degree.

He's the defensive run coordinator? 

Lol what kind of made up job is that? And he had the job last year?

1) why does he have a job and 2) why did he just get promoted to assistant head coach?

Answers to both:

We've got an ignorant clown for a head coach.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
