I notice that overall there seems to be a major effort to hire coaches that have played in the NFL, I suspect this is based on the belief that a guy who has actually played in the NFL might be able to do more hands-on teaching of how to play a position and provide extra "tips and tricks" to younger players?

If you're not going to have veteran players around to fill this role, then the next best thing is to have coaches that have played at the NFL level to do this.

He played college football at Arkansas State University and played in the National Football League with the St. Louis Cardinals, the Washington Redskins, the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions.

fwiw...

daringantt Talked to former Panther Geoff Hangartner about Brown yesterday (worked together in BUF). Reviews were favorable. Said he communicates well.

daringantt Second person to tell me this in last half-hour. RT @lexsant Ray Brown one of the best guys you'll meet

also, worth noting that he retired after the '05 season but then was brought back to work with that redskins as an oline coach in '06 and was considered a player-coach when he was a player and was used to mentor the guys.

couple decent reads on him...

his focus in san fran was going to be working with the OTs and TEs.

seems like a good hire and at 48 years old a good counter to the 60 year old matsko.

I guess it sounds promising. He certainly has one of the toughest jobs on this team.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
