Coaching Carousel 2016

It is interesting our opinion of coaches is different from those that work in the NFL...

People who work in the nfl make dreadful staff appointments all the time.
 
@MikeKlis: Broncos finalizing offensive blockbuster: McCoy as OC; Bill Musgrave as QB coach. Big for Joseph/Elway to get that kind of talent. #9sports


@MikeKlis: Cleveland, Buffalo had expressed interest in Bill Musgrave as OC. Almost set to become Broncos' QB coach. #9sports
 
@RapSheet: #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels is stepping back from the coaching search to focus on playoffs. Means it’s Tom Cable or Kyle Shanahan for #49ers
 
Jay Gruden literally runs the Redskins offense.


Eh. This was on mmqb


In Washington, McVay was responsible for all play calls; though Jay Gruden retained power over the game plan, McVay filtered the input of every offensive staffer into the final plan. “Jay and me would decide on the final list, but it was collaborative,” McVay said. “On game day he got to trust me calling the plays. Jay was really great at delegating and empowering his staff.”
 
Chip kelly could be the new jags oc.

Great hire imo

Kelly needs to crawl back to the college ranks. He's too close minded to modify and expand on his system in order for it to better adapt to the NFL
 
If you were SF, who would you target?

While, normally, i'm not a fan, the best they could hope for is Matt Patricia. I'd gamble on his intelligence pulling them through the utter ruination that is Jed York.

Of course, that doesn't answer the question of who the **** is going to be GM.

The York family really should have sold the team. :bobdole:
 
THere were some schematic issues with Kelly in the NFL but the bigger issue was Chip Kelly the GM

I thought he did a very solid job in SF under miserable circumstances
 
@AlbertBreer: Bills are hiring Rick Dennison as offensive coordinator. Dennison's long been Gary Kubiak's right-hand man, was Denver's OC last year.
 
Shanahan’s spike in interest in the job resulted from the lack of interest that multiple others had, either in coaching the team or in taking the G.M. job.

It began with Chiefs director of player personnel Chris Ballard. Regarded as the team’s first, second, and third choice for the job, Ballard wasn’t interested. He asked the team to deny the request for permission to interview him for the job, apparently in order to avoid the impression that he generally isn’t interested in an opportunity for advancement.

Next came Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio, who didn’t want the job, either. Other candidates for the G.M. job either declined an invitation to interview or withdrew after interviewing.

The decision of Ballard and Caserio to pass on the job apparently contributed to the shift in agenda from hiring a G.M. first to hiring a coach and G.M. who will work together well. As potential members of a tag team began to bow out (starting most prominently with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels), that plan changed as well. When Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable withdrew, it left Shanahan as the only candidate.

Shanahan will benefit from that situation, significantly. He’s expected to be the highest-paid first time head coach in league history, and he’s expected to have final say over the roster and the draft. Next, he’ll be directly involved in the General Manager, which makes Shanahan the clear-cut captain of the S.S. 49er.

So how did it get to this point? Despite the widespread popular belief that the 49ers are currently the most dysfunctional team in football, the thinking in league circles is that, with some tweaks, the G.M. and coaching jobs could be desirable. The impediment to attracting their preferred candidates isn’t owner Jed York; apparently, it’s Chief Strategy Officer and EVP of Football Operations Paraag Marathe.

Marathe is, as a practical matter, the Russ Brandon of the 49ers. The only difference is that the 49ers make no secret of Marathe’s influence over the football operations.

From his online bio: “On the team side, Marathe reports directly to 49ers CEO Jed York and has a significant role in major strategic decisions for the club as Chief Strategy Officer. He also continues in his long-respected role as the team’s chief contract negotiator and salary cap architect, while overseeing the team’s football analytics department.”

Put simply, Marathe has influence, along with the ear of ownership. He’s been there for 16 years, and he has transcended the bubble of accountability in which coaches and General Managers reside. And that’s precisely the kind of dynamic coaches and General Managers try to avoid.

Shanahan is embracing it because, as his final package will demonstrate, he leveraged the team’s desperation to his full advantage. Moving forward, however, it’s an elephant in the room that may be serving as an oversized anchor.

Its incredible. It really is.

I think we (by which i mean: humanity) were in general agreement that Jed York was atrocious. But now you learn the situation is worse then we knew. And, i mean, does anyone doubt this?

Good luck Kyle Shanahan. Hes a fine coordinator but i don't think he has much of a chance as head coach. Especially if this is his first stop. I can't help but wonder if Mike Shanahan is hired as GM. For a number of years he essentially had that role in Denver and he had a good deal of influence in Washington's. He built some good, if never quite great, rosters and hes had an itch to return to football.
