It looks like Rivera is the man but who will be the cordinators?

Well it looks like Ron Rivera will be our next coach. I really think this is a good choice but who are we going to get for our offensive and defensive coordinators?

I know we have been looking at also getting Rob Ryan and Perry Fewell, and Greg Manusky as head coaches but could we be looking at getting them for our next defensive coordinator? out of those three Rob Ryan would be the guy I want. Fewell would be the next guy I would want followed by Manusky.

If we aren't looking at getting any of these guys who else could we be looking at getting at D coordinator? does Rivera get to choose his staff?

I don't think we have made any interviews on Offensive coordinators which could mean we want a coach that is still coaching in the playoffs. I honestly believe that we need to get a top notch guy that already has experience at the position. Offense is our biggest need and I feel that we don't need to take a risk and sign an unexpericed OC. Jeff Davidson didn't work out for us and I believe JR will not take the same approach as he did last time on our OC.

I think Mike Martz would be a great OC for us, but he is under contract so the only way we could have him next year is by offering him a head coaching job. Brian Schottenheimer would be a great fit and we could have a very similar players(young qb, Good Rbs,O-line). JR has clearly said the coaches he wants are ones that fit our philosophy. What is our Philosophy by the way? Does JR still want us to be that conservative run first team? I really hope we change our offensive game but if JR wants to stick to the same philosophy then I guess that means same ole conservative offense.

Also here is an artical from the local News and Observer on possible canidates, some are about head coaching prospects but it seems we already found our guy.

I can't see why we would expect someone to leave one job for the same job here

unless there's big issues where they're at .

Well I know we can't get any cordinators unless we offer them a head coach job or unless their contract is up. I am just saying some of theses guys I would want as a head coach if Ron Rivera doesn't work out and some of theses guys I would want as a coordinator if their contract runs out.

I'm sure Rivera (if he does become the coach as is being reported in many media circles) has his own list of possible coordinators to bring with him. Many guys won't accept a job if they are to be saddled with coaches they have no say so about. It's probably within the new HC's perview to talk with one of the coaches we just let go. I'd like to see Meeks back myself. But any new coach will no doubt be able to name his entire staff.

Maybe we could bring back Meeks as a secondary coach? I believe he was a secondary coach for the falcons when they went to the Superbowl in the late 90's. The secondary has played well in the two seasons he was DC and his past teams have had a pretty good secondary(when healthy).

I disagree...I think Meeks was horrible

      NFL Free Agency

      By L-TownCat · Posted

      It’s one thing if we’re converting the salaries of a Turk Wharton or Tommy Tremble.  This is Derrick Brown.  He’ll end up with a whole new contract in a couple years anyway.  And he’ll earn it too.

      Pre-Free Agency (Mar 11) Roster depth chart

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My general thoughts on the roster as it stands right now:  - Most interesting positions to watch: TE, NT, WR.  - If we add a TE I feel like it'll be a bigger name FA or Kenyon Sadiq in the 1st round. I don't expect us to take a TE that early with our need at tackle, though, so it's likely one of the top FA TEs or we ride with Tremble/Sanders/Evans again. Signing a mid-level FA or drafting another mid-round TE isn't going to help us at this point. We have three of those guys already.  - I don't buy the 1st/2nd round WR hype. I do think we will sign someone to play the slot because XL is... not good. John Metchie, Juan Jennings and Calvin Austin would make sense if the money does.  - NT could be interesting because I don't get the sense that they view Bobby Brown as a true starter. This could be a position we look to add a veteran starter at or possibly take one early in the draft.  - Devin Lloyd was a huge addition, but we need another starter beside him. I fully expect us to go after one in the 2nd round. Jacob Rodriguez makes a ton of sense here.  - The Luke Fortner signing gives us a veteran fallback at center this season. I don't expect he'll end up being our long-term starter, but it's likely he will at least begin the year atop the depth chart. Even if we draft a center it's unlikely that player ends up being a day-one starter. But I think right now we're likely targeting a center in the 3rd-4th round as that seems to be where the value is.  - We have no punter on the roster. Interested to see if we sign a veteran or go the draft/UDFA route.  - The OT situation is pretty bleak. I now fully expect us to take a tackle at #19, but even after the Stone Forsythe signing we also need better depth there. Brady Christensen would be an idea re-signing; I also like Jamaree Salyer from the Chargers as a younger option that still has room to develop.  - Guard depth is also lacking. Again, having a versatile backup like Brady Christensen would go a long way toward having some security for our entire OL, but even if he comes back we should add another veteran backup, IMO.  - I assume Lathan Ransom would be the starting FS if we played today, but we know Evero loves him some Nick Scott so I won't be surprised if/when we re-sign him. He's basically the defensive version of David Moore, unfortunately. Ideally we'd look to add a true FS, but I don't get the sense that is a big priority at the moment.  - Nickel corner is a need and I fully expect us to sign someone in the next few days to upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. Long-term, I won't be shocked if we go CB earlier in the draft than people might expect given Mike Jackson's contract expires after this year.  - I wouldn't be shocked to see us sign a RB. Sean Tucker or Brian Robinson could be interesting. We know what Chuba can do, but Jonathon Brooks has to be considered a question mark at this point.

      Hendrickson to Ravens

      Considering the Raiders and Crosby’s disagreements about his health late last year and the Ravens’ history of being an extremely well run organization I lean towards the Ravens not being in the wrong here
