John Settle RB Coach

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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" :lol:

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

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.

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.

    • Well if you are gonna put it like that I probably would have to agree with you.  We’ll see how it goes. I am kind of rooting for seeing some Picket this year just for a change up. I root for a change up every year though lately. 
    • OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.
