Dash's Coaching Changes & Mock 2.0

Here you have it guys. Enjoy

Head Coach: Dana Holgorsen (HC West Virgina)

Dana_Holgorsen_08232012.jpg

Guy is an offensive genious (arguably the best in biz) and a proven head coach. And no he doesnt run some gimick option offense. His results speak for themselves.

1st year with West Virginia won big East 10-3 and won orange bowl in a massacre of UC 70-30

2011 West Virginia Finished #13 scoring offense # 15 total offense-prior year ranked #67

2010 okie lite #3 scoring offense #3 total offense-prior year #61

2009 Houston #1 total offense

2008 Houston #3 total offense

2007 Texas tech #2 total offense

2006 Texas tech #6 total offense

Made all his QB's look like All World. Could prob make Cam look like P. Manning out there.

Defensive Coordinator: Keith Butler (LB Coach Pittsburg Steelers)

Learned under one of the best defensive minds in the business in Dick Lebo. Lebo doesnt look to be stepping down any time soon. With that said we would have to make him on of the highest paid coordinators in the NFL which I wouldnt have a problem with. Make him assistant head coach as well.

Offensive Coordinator: Shannon Dawson (OC West Virgina)

Dawson is in his 2nd year with West Virginia working under Dana Holgorsen. Promoted to OC this year and is putting insance numbers. In 2010, Dawson guided the nation’s No. 1 passing offense (362.2) and No. 4 scoring offense (36.3), ranking No. 6 in total offense (442.9) in the FCS.

With the coaching in place time to look ahead to the draft.

First Round: DT Jonathon Hankins 6'4 325

Some mocks now have him falling towards the tail end of the top 10. Not sure if he is a dominant 3-4 NT. Thinking Johnathon Jenkins from Georgia might be a better fit as we will need to switch to a 3-4.

Second Round: FS TJ Mcdonald 6'3 205

We need some serious help at S. Lets hope Mcdonald is still on the board when we pick.

Fourth Round: OG Alvin Bailey 6'5 315

Will shore up our interior line.

Super Bowl in 2015!!!

I suppose I approve of this offseason :) I don't know anything about the two college coaches, but it fulfills my wish list (hire a HC, not a coordinator, to be our HC; offensive background a plus). Anything on Butler that says he'd make a good DC? McDerp also "learned from one of the best," didn't help him a whole lot (he has shown improvement in his squad lately though...).

For now I'd be happy with Hankins, Lotulelei, or Jenkins in the 1st. We'll see where they stand after the season is over though.

Happy with the rest too. Let's just hope we can find a good young WR in FA, otherwise we may need to forego the DT this year (ugh, that would hurt) and take a WR in the 1st. If we're picking high enough, a WR at the top of the 2nd might be able to fill our need. In that case we'd need a FS in FA.

I could see us taking Allen in the first. Woods is too short. Allen doesnt have elite measurables but is close and his play making ability is through the roof. Would not be mad at all with Allen, Star, Hankins, or Reid in the first.

But I am sure these guys believe it is their "system" that makes these players on offense and might opt to sure up our problem areas first.

My early draft crush is Justin Hunter. I think he'l be the next AJ Green type receiver coming out.

The coaching staff you chose is pretty unrealistic but it would work.

You realize Hunter is coming off an ACL injury? That has me a bit nervous about taking him. Will need to see how he hold ups and performs throughout the season. Him and Allen are the only 2 WR's I would consider in the first.

How is the coaching staff unrealistic, in what way?

You think Holgorsen would turn down the chance to coach at the highest level and a fat paycheck? Not to mention having Cam. Or is it you think Butler wouldnt come to Carolina even if we made him one of the highest paid defensive coordinators in the game and gave him the Assistant Head Coach title?

I think we could get that coaching so long as JR wanted to make it happen and ponied up the right amount of money.

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
