TheLynchTrain Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Curtis Modkins Two years in the NFL as RB coach!! 1st Year NFL Coach • 1st with Chiefs Owning 13 years of collegiate coaching experience, Curtis Modkins embarks on his initial campaign as Kansas City’s running backs coach in 2008. Prior to joining the Chiefs coaching staff, Modkins spent six seasons tutoring both the running backs (2003-07) and the defensive backs (2002) under Chiefs offensive coordinator Chan Gailey at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech’s rushing attack thrived under the tutelage of Modkins as the Yellow Jackets led the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing offense in 2007, totaling 2,591 yards (199.3 ypg.) and 28 rushing TDs. Georgia Tech boasted the ACC’s leading rusher three times (2003, 2006-07) during Modkins’ tenure as running backs coach. Modkins also played a pivotal role in the development of two-time All-ACC RB T.J. Daniels, a former walk-on who concluded his career as the fourth-leading rusher in Georgia Tech history. http://www.wgr550.com/BUSCAGLIA--Curtis-Modkins-/6188497 In 1998, Modkins left the comfy confines of his alma mater and ventured on to a new school. New Mexico named him the cornerbacks coach. A position that he would assume for the next four seasons. That is, until Chan Gailey came calling. Gailey extended his hand out to Modkins. And it's been a duo that hasn't been split up. Every year that Gailey has been a coach somewhere, Modkins has been right there along side him. ___________________________ The Arizona Cardinals needed a new running backs coach, and scooped up the services of Modkins. In his only season as running backs coach for the Cardinals, the team averaged just 93.4 yards per game on the ground. That is the fifth worst total in 2009. With Chan calling the plays the OC isn't that important at this point. The only highlight I see from this is that the bills will finally have an OC and not a glorified QB coach that only focuses on the QB while forgetting about the rest of the offense.

N.Y. Orangeman Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 We've hired current assistants to assistant coaches who have had very little success in CFB, let alone the NFL. This is incredibly disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Anyone who says a OC isn't important right now since Gailey is calling the plays is dumb. Those kinds of comments show lack of knowledge about football. The OC does so much more than call plays. If you can't see that go watch tennis.

Chandler#81 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Could just mean that Gailey hasn't settled on exactly where he wants Sanders -- after all, I'm pretty sure he's coached each segment of the D at some point in his long career. On the other hand ... hmmmm. It would explain alot. As for all the new O-coaches, are we now KC-East or Ga.Tech-North? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 ... basically reconstituting his GT offensive staff ... yup...exactly what I was thinking, which is great seeing they went to what 6 bowls (toilet) and finished on average about 7-5...for some reason I am, having images of GWs Staff...a bunch oh huh? who?

DarthICE Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So who is OC and DC? Any clues to what schemes (4-3/3-4, Big running style/ spread passing style/ zone blocking/man blocking) we are running? I havent heard of any of these guys. Gailey has said HE CALLS HIS OWN PLAYS. He said it would be YEARS before he would think of handing it over so whomever the OC is , just has a title and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 In the past I've always been supportive and positive about the new HC in Buffalo. I will still be supportive but positive is a little harder to come by right now. Hopefully, given my track record, this means the coaches will be outstanding!
