There aren't many legends or retreads left.
Jobs seem to go to the hot coordinator of thew week - which is how we ended up with TRESTMAN and Nagy.
I don't think he's great, but he does have experience now which is more than like say us hiring the next hot coordinator of the week that doesn't have any head coaching experience.....
Do we want a hot young college coach?
I never thought I'd miss Lovie Smith so much......
Not sure if Bill Cowher wants to coach again, but I think he would be the perfect guy.
I dont think Nagy is the guy. His system just does not work. Its a gimmick.
Honestly I think the game passed Cowher by and I think he more “looks” the part than he is a good HC, or he would have had a job by now. He has had the opportunity 3 times since he left the Steelers to get the Bears job not to mention countless other HC jobs and it hasn’t happened. I just can’t see it now. That being said I take him over Nagy, but I think I would literally take any HC over Nagy except Marc Trestman.
Joe Brady in Carolina is supposed to be an offensive savant. He was the OC at LSU with Burrow and before that with NOLA.
https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/the-rapid-rise-of-offensive-wunderkind-joe-brady-has-lsu-rolling-and-poachers-lurking/This magic LSU season developed in part because of Brady's talents as a New Orleans Saints offensive assistant. He was hired in the offseason to install the spread/RPO offense at LSU.
The way the story is told, an initial 30-minute get-to-know-you meeting turned into hours when Burrow visited LSU as an Ohio State transfer. Burrow was intrigued by the new offense. The quarterback and his father, Jimmy, were looking at a school with a quarterback opening first, but there had to be a philosophical connection as well.
"We had concerns about the direction they were going on offense," Jimmy Burrow said. "Then it just became a discussion of football. They were showing film of Joe at Ohio State and what he could do at LSU."
The ironies have become obvious. Burrow has succeeded in an offense he was basically recruited to run at Ohio State.
I'm not an expert on this but reading that, it appears that there's a lot of similarities with the LSU and OSU system (and there's ties from Nagy to Ryan Day) so a transition for Fields would not be as aggressive as a complete system overhaul.
Brady oversaw the development of Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Ja'mar Chase, Terrace Marshall and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
Burrow - 1st overall
Chase - 5th overall (2020)
Justin Jefferson - 1st rounder and best rookie WR year ever
CEH - 1st rounder as a RB
Marshall - 2nd rounder (2020)
That's who I want developing our offense/Justin Fields.
People like Daboll in Buffalo but I think he's going to get Josh Allen killed with that system they run.
If Dasai is a fraud we're in big trouble, I'm worried but if he can find his stride I wouldn't mind keeping him around and having Brady run the offense.
