The bolded guys are the one's I'd focus in on as not sure Jordan wants to be a coach. Jim Bob has some ties to Daboll from their KC days and he did some good things for Matt Stafford.

Anderson or Palmer seem logical.  

 

Might do Allen more harm than good to have someone totally new put a fresh set of ideas in his head or try to tweak his actions.

 

Josh has done well to get through his mentoring period with Peterman.

They left out ‘quarterback whisperer’ Mike Leach!

 

Just as well - Leach already makes more money than McDermott, and he’d want to be Head Coach anyway.

From SI: Why Is Everyone Hiring Mike Leach Disciples Instead of Actual Mike Leach?

Quote

Leach  is rarely top of mind in these situations. He’s not devastatingly handsome. He’s not young. He has very strong opinions about weddings and live mascots and other things that aren’t third-and-nine. He may work until 2 a.m., but he also may not come in until 10 or 11 a.m.

 

If this flavor of the month in football becomes the flavor of the year and remains en vogue, it’ll be interesting to see what happens when the coaching carousel spins again. Will the game keep seeking out some more polished, more boring version of Mike Leach, or will it seek out Actual Mike Leach?

Yeah, I posted that article on the College Football board.

 

The fact remains, and the author’s point is, instead of hiring from the Leach coaching tree, why not “go right to the wellspring?”

 

Why not hire the “Actual Mike Leach  (AML)”?

I wouldn't be surprised if they go after Palmer though. 

 

Played QB at Cornell and was on Jim Hohfer's staff at UB which is not on in the body of his Wikipedia bio.  They do have it in the offset to the right.

Good article, and thanks for posting it Yolo.

 

Pretty much all of the guys mentioned are either intriguing, or quite possibly genuinely worth looking at. Seems like there's a decent choice out there, going off of that piece.

But Shane Waldron has breathed in the air McVay exhaled.  I do like Cooter though.?

A new QB Coach Candidate?

 

Just heard this on OBL Murph and Tasker show:

 

Jake Peetz, Offensive Analyst Alabama 2018.  Was QB coach for Raiders and was Josh McDaniel's candidate for Colts OC role last year.

 

Colts: 3 things to know about Jake Peetz, who could become offensive ...

Isn't Alex Van Pelt available?

I don’t think so. As far as i know he was retained by the Bengals unlike some others. Bills could still request interview, esp given the coaching transition taking place there, his job security would be in question

Hofher was QB when I was at Cornell.

 

One of my best friends was recruited by George Seifert.

 

I’m pretty sure I’m much older than you, unless you played for Bob Blackman. 

 

What years did you play for the Big Red?

Hmmm   

DA costs the team a roster spot.  JP does not. 

 

Cooter (Stafford) and Lazor (Datlon) seem intriguing / interesting

Was he saying he played for Cornell or Lazor?  Lazor was the QB of the Big Red when I was an undergrad there, between ‘90-94; not sure if he was there the exact same time or just overlapped a few years.

Can’t really tell.  Lazor played QB for Cornell when Hofher coached there, so I’m a bit unsure what he’s saying, other that he was an assistant for Hofher at UB.

It seems to me IMHO that Josh made his biggest strides during his down time after the Texans game under the tutelage of DA. It was evident upon his return he looked more confident and decisive. 

 

If it ain't broke.....

Mentioned in another article 

 

Marty Mornhinweg

Mornhinweg, 56, has extensive experience in two categories: coaching offense and quarterbacks and coaching with McDermott. Both spent 2003 to 2010 with the Eagles while both were in various assistant roles. Mornhinweg was most recently with the Baltimore Ravens where he helped bring along rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson. He also has experience as a head coach, spending 2001-02 as the lead man for the Lions. Quarterbacks Mornhinweg has worked with include Steve Young, Brett Favre Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, and Joe Flacco.

And yet here you are...posting on it....

Interesting. 

 

I don't start multiple threads a day and post thousands of times a year.  Those that do need to get outside or, as I said, find something else to do.  

 

Welcome aboard noob.

Maybe Morhningweg who was named in another article.

 

Anderson is definitely the interesting dark horse.

Palmer and Anderson are definitely interesting candidates it's just hard to asses where they'd be on the list when we don't even know if they'd be willing to transition from their current roles to being a coach.

Cooter  is intriguing but can he mesh with Dabol ??

Despite what is most likely to happen, I'm going to go out on a pretty extended limb here and say we should go after Romo for QB coach/offensive assistant, have him contribute to developing Allen and simultaneously call every single one of Belly's plays before they even happen (or the rest of the NFL)...if nothing else just bring him in to scheme against these teams.

I don't think Palmer wants to be hired as a full-time coaching assistant.
