If Luke wants a future in coaching he needs to stay far, far away from this raging dumpster fire. Jumping into an interim staff in the midst of a tank year is not the start you want.

Experience is experience, no matter the situation. Hell you could argue this would be the best opportunity to get experience bc you are in midst of an obstacle that you could learn to overcome.  Chasing roses and sunshines will never prepare you for ambiguity or tough challenges...

This sounds straight out of Matt Rhule's upcoming "Football Motivation For Second Rate College Programs That Sure as Hell Doesn't Work in the NFL" book.

If you want to try to build a career starting from the worst possible position then you better be really, REALLY good in which case you're gonna be fine no matter what. Starting out in a dumpster fire is just not advisable. 

I have a feeling in your field this doesnt apply, but in mine it does, along with many others as well. You dont get hired for easy going jobs when you have a certain skill set or talent. That's not why companies hire SLT members. It's normally to come in a fix/improve things.

I have no idea what your field is but what you're saying really isn't relevant here. If he wants to get into coaching I'm certain he could find a far better opportunity than this worst case scenario opportunity. That's what I'm saying. I'd never give anyone the advice of jumping head first into the worst possible opportunity available, especially when there would be far better opportunities if they look around. Yeah, it might work out great for him if he's great. But guess what, so would the much better opportunity. It's all risk, no reward. It would just be a flat out dumb move

He would surrounded by his trusted colleagues, and people he has worked for/with. At a franchise that would not hold his feet to the fire, and would welcome without issue. He would get experience coaching young linebacking room and be apart of game planning with Wilks. 

It's not like he is being thrown into a room by himself and told to win or lose his job. This is a challenge that would be worth going after and being surrounded by a support network that will empower his growth. Plus, this isnt his first rodeo being in a coaching circle. poo, he was doing it when he was injured, and he did it as an assistant two years ago. This is far from the "worst case scenario" for him. 

 

Worst case scenario would be him holding Phil Snow's jockstrap and clip board without having any say... or any other DC in the league for that matter. In this situation he gets to coach for someone that coached him.

I just think you really want to see Luke coaching for us. I get it, every good player we've ever had we've all talked about them possibly coming back and coaching for us.

I'm just being honest though. This current situation sucks. If Luke wants to coach and wants to coach for us he should probably just sit tight and make it known to the next coach that he'd love to be a part of his staff. LB coach, defensive "quality control", whatever. We're a dumpster fire right now in organizational chaos. That's an awful situation to try to get your feet wet.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
