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.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
