Options for OC?

We've all discussed how we aren't in love with Dennison to no end but who would you replace him with?  

 

I like two names in particular.  I don't know how I feel about getting an older retread guy.  Instead, I'd like to grab the next young buck that has experience handling young QBs.

 

My first option would be: John DeFilippo, QB Coach Philadelphia

He was around to help develop a younger Derek Carr and now Carson Wentz.  He spent one year in Cleveland as OC with Pettine before that entire staff got wiped out.  He has a solid resume at QB Coach and is 39 years old.  I think pairing him with a rookie QB could be our best option.

 

My second option would be: Ken Dorsey, QB Coach Carolina

He got started as a QB developer for the draft and has spent the last few seasons with Cam Newton and Cam's play immediately jumped after he arrived.  He's 36 years old.

 

Ultimately, I'm looking to change course from the older coaches who seem to be more set in their ways.  These two young guys don't have the experience calling plays and that will likely be an adjustment for them. However, their experience with young QBs is undeniable and may be the best option for us to pair with a rookie QB.  I think a young OC with some spunk should be the way to go...who do you guys have on your radar if Dennison is shown the door after the season?

 

 

All nice but without knowing their playbooks we are really just guessing on guys like this - it’s not just play calling but play design and then scheme building

I think he would do well with Peterman considering Peterman is a reasonable facsimile of good ole Fitzy!   Just needs the beard.

 

The beard part is easy. Where are CJ and Stevie these days? Put out an APB!

Dirk Koetter, if he's fired by the Bucs.

 

That’s an interesting thought. He was supposed to be a hot offensive mind as I recall but maybe got moved up beyond his level of competence, at least for now.

I think that's the whole point of getting a guy like that, they aren't set in their ways like most veteran coaches.  They can build an offense around a young QB.

He's got the inside track on the job.

I’m sure he’ll tell us when the interview gets set up. If he gets enough “likes” he gets the job! 

 

 

 

I’m really not a hater, I’m just here for entertainment.

Alex Van Pelt :o

 

I know that was a joke, but now that he's spent a few years as the QB coach in Green Bay ("QB University"), learning from McCarthy, he might actually become a decent OC. He didn't exactly have a good role model in Buffalo.

Someone fresh, innovative, and creative .... someone like that would have had a blast with Tyrod Taylor. But, TT will be gone next year. At any rate, something new and shiny.

 

Get rid of the old guy stuck in his ways. He is Rex 2.0 = someone trying to make players fit his outdated system rather than truly being a coach and changing the system to fit the strength of your players.

...stint in SD as HC and now with Broncos are hardly ringing endorsements IMO.......Panther's Dorsey wouldn't surprise me with OBD Carolina Luvfest......

 

Even if Dorsey is good, I am just damn sick of getting more people from Carolina - a team I have next to zero respect for.  Boo.

Can I ask why you don't have respect for Carolina?  I mean, they had the number 1 overall pick when we grabbed Dareus and they've seen a Super Bowl and a few other playoff games already since then.  To me, that deserves respect
