Not sure that matters all too much these days.
Siriani was a quality control coach 7 years before he became the Eagles HC. He was OC in title only with the Colts as Reich called plays for them.
Mike McDaniel never called plays and was an OC in title only for 1 year in SF before becoming a HC.
Kevin O’Connell didn’t have a ton of coaching experience before getting the Vikings job.
Look at Mike Tomlin’s experience before being hired with the Steelers.
You just never know I guess.
I think the idea is obviously to hire an offensive HC who you can pair with our franchise QB entering his prime. That new HC doesn’t necessarily have to call plays but it would be nice.
Slowik is interesting. He doesn’t have much coaching experience and this is first year as an OC. It’s tough to ignore what he’s done in Houston though and we’ve seen recent coaches who never even had play calling experience go on to
be good HCs.
