If, in fact, McD will be calling plays, Johnson will be tasked with the 'other' OC duties - game plan, scheme, . . .
I'll be honest, I was hoping for someone with play-calling experience. Now I'm hoping Johnson has some experience in those 'other' OC duties

There is nothing wrong with that either.

I love how McDaniel doesn't seem to force one guy to try and be everything. It's a group effeffort, and when you can focus on one specific area that part of the team usually improves as long as everyone communicates.

He's creating a great work environment early on IMO. It's my own ideal work structure not just for the NFL but anywhere. .

Yeah, he definitely seems a lot different that the other coaches with have had. I definitely think he will tailor the offense to the strengths of our players. Unlike Gase who forced players into his scheme

Yeah don't be shocked to see a lot of cooks in the kitchen. This was what the offensive coaching staff looked like for the 49ers last year

Head coach
Assistant head coach/tight ends
Offensive coordinator/running game specialist
Passing game specialist
Quarterbacks
Running backs
Wide receivers
Offensive line
Assistant offensive line 1
Assistant offensive line 2
Offensive quality control 1
Offensive quality control 2

Excellent information to have, thank you!

It should go a long way in reducing some of the "Lemming" juice that is starting to flow since we hired our new HC. - LOL

Curtis Johnson, CB #45 a great unsung hero of the early Phin teams, I wonder if there's any relations?

I have a bad memory of Curtis Johnson
Shula stuck with him too long
Gerald Small had been drafted and I thought he was clearly a better choice to be starting
Small was very fast

Monday night game against the Oilers
Deciding play was a long TD run by Earl Campbell

Johnson was in not Small

I clearly remember Johnson chasing Campbell not gaining an inch
Small would have caught him...lol
30 seconds in

Knowledge is key both in gathering and disseminating information, attacking a defense, and defending against the same.

And he didn't need to act up like a 5-year-old after he scored, a real professional.
 
IMO the play-calling experience thing is most likely a non-issue born of ignorance. Per reports, the system in SF gave Shanahan final say, but he was not usually the guy picking the play. The guy picking the play was McDaniel. He would send the play down and Shanahan could obviously change the play himself or ask for something different. My guess is that the vast majority of the time he probably went with what McDaniel called.

Johnson was "long in the tooth" by then, and yes Shula stuck with him too long but in his prime he was tough. BTW CJ wasn't the only one that got run over, around and past that night. The whole D got an @$$ whippin'.
