Everyone saying Luke for DC, but what about OC?

He literally knew the opponents offense better than the they did. 
 

It seems silly, but has anyone studied offense like he did during his playing days?

 

I just want this man coaching for us no matter what he’s coaching. 

I actually was thinking the same thing... if he could read offenses as well as he could... what about defenses? Wouldnt be the first defensive player to be an OC

He was already the DC here for 8 years. It will be great to have him back to coordinate from the booth. 

He's the closest I've seen on the defensive side of the ball to player-coach. Seriously. Peyton was also essentially a player-coach. Brady is trying to be now that he's not under authoritarian coaches in Belichick/Arians; it ain't going so well for him...

Start him as an assistant or Lb coach. He does well there then DC is a possibility. Playing and coaching are two totally different things. All thought Luke is smart and a leader so it could work. 

This. Either LB Coach, or something like Pass Defense Coordinator. I don't have any doubt that he'd thrive in the role. And let him work his way up the chain. A lunch-pail guy like Luke would want to earn the job anyway.

Not necessarily. Great players don’t really make great coaches. Most of the good coaches were guys with enough talent to get them to the pros and ride the bench or a D2 scholarship athlete. 

Art Shell and Mike Ditka would like to have a word out back.

He said in an interview last year that he would love to be an OC.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
