Coaching connections to Taylor (Sherman, McVay, Bill Callahan), Callahan, Anarumo.

 

RBs:

RB Coach Connection Current Link
Jim Bob Cooter Callahan-Lions NYJ-RBs Coach https://www.newyorkjets.com/team/coaches-roster/jim-bob-cooter
Gary Brown Bill Callahan-Cowboys FA https://www.dallascowboys.com/team/coaches-roster/gary-brown
Anthony Lynn Bill Callahan-Jets LAC-HC https://www.chargers.com/team/coaches-roster/anthony-lynn

Cooter was the OC in Detroit and worked extensively with Brian Callahan in Denver and Detroit. Brown was loved by Elliott etc. but was left out when McCarthy took over. Lynn would be an absolute get but will have other options. Someone suggested in another forum making Callahan the Passing game coordinator and then getting a veteran coach by making them the run game coordinator. This could make sense with Lynn. 

 

WRs:

WR Coach Connection Current Link
Phil McGeoghan Taylor-Chargers LAC-WRs coach https://www.chargers.com/team/coaches-roster/phil-mcgeoghan
Marc Lubick Callahan-Lions BUF-Asst WRs Coach https://www.buffalobills.com/team/coaches-roster/marc-lubick
Adam Gase Callahan-Broncos NYJ-HC https://www.newyorkjets.com/team/coaches-roster/adam-gase
Keenan McCardell McVay-Redskins JAC-WRs coach https://www.jaguars.com/team/coaches-roster/keenan-mccardell
Darrell Bevell Packers with Sherman Lions Offensive coordinator https://www.detroitlions.com/team/coaches-roster/darrell-bevell
Derek Dooley Bill Callahan-Cowboys NYG-Sr O Asst https://www.giants.com/team/coaches-roster/derek-dooley

McGeohan coached with Taylor in Miami. Lubick would be interesting coming from the Bill system. McCardell and Dooley are veteran coaches that would be interesting. There were rumors that Bevell was the top candidate for our OC role when we were hiring 2 years ago. 

 

OL:

OL Coach Connection Current Link
Mike Sherman Ex Boss and Father in Law FA https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/SherMi0.htm
Jack Bicknell Jr Coached with Taylor as Asst OL Coach in Miami Auburn OL Coach https://auburntigers.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/jack-bicknell-jr-/3345
Phil Rauscher Coached with Brian Callahan in Denver/Asst to Bill Callahan in Wash Vikings Asst OL Coach https://www.vikings.com/team/coaches-roster/phil-rauscher#:~:text=Phil%20Rauscher%20joins%20the%20Vikings,during%20the%202015%2D16%20seasons.
Chris Foerster Coached with McVay in Washington and Anarumo in Miami 49ers Asst OL Coach https://www.49ers.com/team/coaches-roster/chris-foerster
Chris Morgan Coached with McVay in Washington Falcons OL Coach https://www.atlantafalcons.com/team/coaches-roster/chris-morgan
Lemuel Jeanpierre Coached with Brian Callahan in Oakland Dolphins Asst OL Coach https://www.miamidolphins.com/team/coaches-roster/lemuel-jeanpierre
James Campen Coached with Mike Sherman in Green Bay Chargers OL Coach https://www.chargers.com/team/coaches-roster/james-campen
Frank Pollack Bill Callahan-Cowboys Jets OL Coach  dhttps://I.newyorkjets.com/team/coaches-roster/frank-pollack

Bill Callahan and Frank Pollack would be the obvious choices. McVay and Sherman also coached with the OL coaches at Atlanta and LAC as well. Jack Bicknell seemed like a great option but he isn't coming with his brother getting canned. A couple assistants might be ready to be full time as well. The pickings here seem slim. The most likely candidates are probably Morgan or Campen. I don't think either line is very good. 

 

DL:

DL Connection Current Link
Gary Emanuel Anarumo-Giants/Purdue FA https://www.giants.com/team/coaches-roster/gary-emanuel
Andre Carter Anarumo-Miami Jets DL https://www.newyorkjets.com/team/coaches-roster/andre-carter
Matt Burke Anarumo-Miami Eagles DL/Run Game Coordinator https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/coaches-roster/matt-burke
Jethro Franklin Golden-U of M FA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Franklin
Terrell Williams Anarumo-Miami/Purdue Duffner-Miami Titans DL https://www.tennesseetitans.com/team/coaches-roster/terrell-williams

If Anarumo is back there are three candidates with the most connections. Emanuel and Carter should both be available. Matt Burke was a LBs coach here before and might be out with the changes going on in Philly. 

 

I will add the DC just in case.

Zach Taylor should be fired. OC Joe Brady made Joe Burrow at LSU. I think it would be a winning combination. Fire Lou too! Draft Chase from LSU WR, OL, DL and open the FA Doors. Thoughts?  

 

I love Jamarr Chase, but I think you have to look at Devonta Smith from Alabama if you're going WR.  With that being said, I don't think we should draft a WR high...too many other needs.  When's the last time a superstar WR won a SB?  Jerry Rice maybe, unless you count Tyreke Hill last year?  I'd rather use that capital on the O-line or defense.  I think we're OK at the skill positions, though drafting a WR that high is exciting.

“We remain bullish on the foundation Zac is building, and we look forward to next year giving our fans the winning results we all want… We must capitalize on opportunities in front of us. Next year we will earn our stripes.” – Mike Brown

In other words.. "We have no desire whatsoever to start the whole process over again so you're just going to have to suck it up and deal with it and maybe next year will be our year. Now fuck off you pathetic bunch of rubes!" - Mike Brown

“This season we faced challenges with injuries at key positions and missed opportunities. I am proud of our football team for fighting hard through adversity."

 

And there is the 'unusual circumstances' thinking - 30+ years in a row of unusual circumstances. Those gall darn missed opportunities, you know like protecting the QB

"Our fans wanted a fresh new direction two years ago"

 

Remember guys, its OUR fault Zac is here in the first place!

Nice pick-up there Griever. I did not notice that on first read. 

 

I guess 2 years ago we forgot to also tell Mikey to have a short leash - I guess that is a 'missed opportunity' on our part

This is a big mistake. I feel like I've seen statements and reports out there that make it seem like next season is Zac's last chance to get it right. How is that going to look/feel to any incoming replacement coordinators? We got one year to figure this shit out...greaaatt

I'm not sure why anyone expected anything differently. 

 

Now if his whole staff is back I'll be bothered by that.

 

Also I hope when he says "next year we will earn our stripes" he is hinting that Zack is on the hot seat. 

 

3 years to build your team is completely fair, next year he needs to prove it.

I have a feeling the coordinators aren't going anywhere. Just position coaches.

A year is plenty to show your worth as a coordinator in today's NFL. Teams make quick turnarounds all the time, except, in this town. I want that sort of pressure on our coaches. They haven't earned any grace period.

 

The unfortunate thing is it appears Lou A is staying. I think that will prove to be a mistake but I hope I'm proven wrong

When I read this, I thought you were trying your hand at creative writing and trying to be funny. To my horror I saw on Twitter this is real. What a fucking joke.

 

If Lou Anarumo is still here, it's ridiculous. The team finished in the bottom third of the league in virtually every category. He needs to be gone. Anything else is a mistake.

Just another in a long line of mistakes.

Zac Shula can't really control injuries (at not the random injuries) but he had better start improving the draft results since the coaches have a large say in that process. And he can control the depth of the roster. 

 

Since 'the fans wanted a fresh new direction' two years ago it feels like the Brown family entered the 12 step program and we are only on step 2.

I 100% believe that a very big factor in the decision to retain Zac Taylor is that Joe Burrow really seems to like him. 

 

I agree with this 100%. I think JoeB was a huge factor here.

And CJ and Boyd.  And Logan Wilson from what I have seen tweeted this morning.  My impression is that the players that are still here like him a lot.
