It's not odd. Guys switch sides of the ball often. I'd say it would be requirement if I was in charge to have someone from the 'other side of the ball' working with the coaching staff in some capacity. McDermott has spoken before about he's in the offense's meeting and shares with them how he'd attack what they're trying to do.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QC coaches do a lot of dirty work, doesn’t matter what position they played. He's also the son of Pat Shurmur who has connection to McDermott. Doing a favor for a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife who has 20 years as a manager competes against children of supervisors with almost no experience and loses. Nepotism can be good (deciding on which candidate to hire as a very low entry position where fit and willing to follow instructions is most important) or bad (people skipping working up career ladder and grunt work due to family ties in non-family owned business), 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha I love dismissing someone getting a job because of their name. He was hired as an entry level coach and you know nothing about his knowledge of the game. Come on, man.

He's not drawing up his own schemes. In case anyone wonders what a QC coach does: https://www.milehighreport.com/2011/3/11/2043379/the-role-of-an-nfl-quality-control-coach-denver-broncos-football-scouting I could have it mixed, but it's my understanding that the defensive QC assistant puts together the film and reports on the tendencies of the offenses we're about to face. So a former offensive player makes sense in that job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than winning is there another version of quality they’re striving for? Did the other players and coaches not know they were striving for winning…as a ‘quality’? 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
