Never played or coached for the Redskins. To me it is a blah hire but Im willing to see what he can do.

[HSCBandit07]

In everything I've read about this guy he seems like he is a workahaulic micromanager that is very good at getting the most from his players and rotating backs into a game.

[wardvette]

They just hired him to sell tickets to App State fans.

He does have some pro experience on his resume'.

Settle went to Fresno State after a three-year stint (1995-98) as an offensive assistant with the Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens franchise under head coaches Bill Belicheck and Ted Marchibroda. During that time he coached running backs like Lorenzo White, Leroy Hoard, Earnest Byner and Priest Holmes.

those are/were some dam good runningbacks

[Mr. Scot]

His OC is Paul Chryst, who was the Charger's Tight Ends coach when Norv Turner was Offensive Coordinator.

He also played for the Redskins’ Super Bowl XXVI championship team under Gibbs. That's something

There's your Coryell connections.

Every single offensive coach we have now can be linked to Norv Turner in two steps or less. Most can be linked directly.

[Mr. Scot]

Couple of Panther connections (besides his coached alongside Geep Chryst's brother).

He coached Leroy Hoard, who spent some time on the Panthers roster back in the earlier years.

Unrelated to Settle, but I remember in his Panther days Hoard once said "If you need three and a half yards, I'll get you three and a half yards. And if you need five yards, I'll get you three and a half yards"

Bio also indicates he once did some special teams under former Panthers ST Coach Scott O'Brien.

This guy sounds like he may do just fine.

[RockyTopVol]

I thought this was going to be a joke thread by that name. John Settle just sounds like exactly what it is...some random guy we seem to have settled on.

Then again, there is the small possibility that Rivera and Chudz may know a little more about good football coaches than me.

[amcoolio]

Well we got two of the three best App. State players of all time now...if only we could hire Dexter Coakley as an assistant.

I know this doesn't add much, but I was a part of the 2007 App team that beat Michigan and won the title and I spent a lot of time around the coaches (I was a game film videographer and team cameraman). They all acknowledge Settle as a really smart player and mind. His football IQ is off the charts. He should have been drafted, but he made the most of it I guess.
