Previous discussion here: Assistant Coach Candidates

(might be merge worthy, depending on the mods)

My current thoughts, with Meeks now in the fold...

On DL, please, anyone but John Teerlink :nonod:

I'd be okay with Board, Krumrie or Denny Marcin. If you could get a motor like Krumrie had into a player with Peppers athletic ability, in theory you'd have a nearly unstoppable player. Moot point with Peppers leaving, of course. I suppose even Crennel is possible if he doesn't stay in Cleveland or get a DC gig. Shame all this happened too late for us to make a run at Rod Marinelli.

Linebackers? I was a big fan of McGinnis for DC. If he doesn't get a gig elsewhere I wonder if he'd take a lateral move. Haluchak has the Fox connection, of course. Venturi wouldn't be a bad hire, and he'd know the NFC South well enough. Also just recently noticed that Dat Nguyen had become a coach (assistant LB coach for the Cowboys). Don't know enough about him as a coach but he was a smart player.

In the secondary? Herm would be nice but I don't expect it. Gantt suggested former Fox assistant Johnnie Lynn as a possible. Former Panther DB and coach Brett Maxie was of late with the Cowboys but I don't know his contract status. I do know that former Cowboys DC Brian Stewart was a DB coach, but I think Boltergeist had a negative opinion of his time with the Chargers.

As an aside, When they were predicting the coaching hires, Yasinskas said that the process would be sloooooooowwww. Gantt said it would be over by next Sunday. With Meeks hired one day into the week, I'd give round one in the prediction bowl to Gantt.

I figured it would be fast for the DC, the other coaches will just fall in place once meek gets back in NC and starts his talks with fox. I'd expect at least two of the positions to be filled by the end of the week or early next week at the latest.

Reasonable.

If they get it done this week, then you can assume they had no interest in anyone from the staff of the Cards or the Steelers (despite the 'emulation' talk).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
