Girevik Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I was kind of hoping he'd go for a guy with more experience considering his own lack in that area, but I'm willing to keep an open mind. I'll feel better if Bill Callahan comes on as OL coach, and he maybe lands QB experience DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluoz Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'd be very OK with Del Rio as the DC...he's got tons of experience at HC, which will be a huge plus to young Zac...he's gonna need a daddy here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite fresh and new enough I suppose. Ppl didn’t want Vance Joseph as Head Coach or DC because he hadn’t been successful at any of it. Del Rio’s defensive DVOA ratings as a coordinator: Carolina, 2002: 3rd Denver, 2012: 5th Denver, 2013: 15th Denver, 2014: 4th As Head Coach in Jax: 2003: 9th 2004: 10th 2005: 7th 2006: 3rd 2007: 15th 2008: 24th 2009: 28th 2010: 32nd 2011: 5th As Head Coach in Oakland: 2015: 15th 2016: 22nd 2017: 29th Del Rio’s resume, while flawed, is still world’s better than what Joseph has accomplished in the NFL so far. Is it a perfect hire? No Is it a good hire? The resume says probably. We’ll see if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|ArmyBengal| Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 and if Zach flames out, Del Rio can take the reins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 JP Finlay @JPFinlayNBCS Bruce Allen says Jim Tomsula isn’t under contract but Bill Callahan is under contract and should be back. Jay Gruden is working on the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm willing to overlook Callahan not having Carr and the Raiders doing anything, as there is a serious lack of talent in Oakland. What actually does concern me is that he has never been an OC at any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but Taylor has only done it one year in Miami (for 5 games) and one year at UC. Not alot to inspire confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thought exercise - hasn’t any successful OC had to have a day one at that job? It’s not like babies are born , draw their first breath, and start calling plays. Just because a person hasn’t called plays before as OC, doesn’t mean they are going to suck at it. I strongly suspect the same crew here bitching about this would be saying if they had brought in an experienced OC “but he’s failed at his previous stops”...

However, it is reasonable to not think that someone who has been nothing more than a non play-calling QB coach at his last position, is simply by osmosis going to become his present boss at the new position.

Jason Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Here’s a crazy idea for OL coach that I would love and might not be completely crazy. There is speculation that the SB might be Whit’s last game. He retires and comes with Sac to be the Bengals new OL coach. There was talk that the coaches were so impressed with his knowledge during his combine that he could be a coach. So bring him home to do it!

I'd REALLY like to get a guy on the offensive staff who has been a coordinator, if not a head man. I love Whit, but adding a first time coach to that already young staff would make me nervous.
