I’m good with this hire.

 

This is probably about the best realistic hire we could have hoped for. Highly respected, experienced, bright offensive mind with tons of experience under Sean Payton as his right hand man for a decade +. I’m surprised he left Payton’s staff. I thought the hire would be Joe Lombardi.

 

I know many wanted a Shanahan/McVay guy but I don’t know how realistic that ever was for the OC position (I think that type of hire is more likely for a position coach role or senior assistant, if it’s even made at all). Brady was always going to want someone with experience in HIS offensive system. He needs a guy he can rely on to take over his OC duties.

Someone with lots of experience to draw from, I like it

Pretty sure I like this.

Well, we wanted experience. He is also a guy that has a long history as an OC that didn’t call plays. He can run the offense but Joe will call the plays. This is a good fit. Pulling Sean Payton’s right hand man makes sense.

Brady is very green, so the more experience on the staff, the better.

Of course you do. He’s a lieutenant!

I’m good with that. The Saints were a terror with him running the offense with Brees.

Smart hire. Guy with a lot of experience that can set up the game plans. Help Joe out on that side of the ball. Another Sean Payton disciple. Yeah, this is a good fit.

No brainer. A couple of people and I mentioned this as a possibility the other day. 

 

Very experienced guy for Brady to lean on. 

[Kirby Jackson]

I had concern that he would promote his buddy (can’t remember his name). With Joe now performing more “ceo duties” it’s nice to have Carmichael and his experience overseeing that room.

Don’t know much about him, but go ahead and pick that Payton tree clean

That was my initial guess as well. I figured that DJ Mangas would get it. I like this better.

The Broncos fired OC Joe Lombardi and I'm assuming Davis Webb will get that job so I guess Carmichael was passed over.

 

15 years as Saints non-play calling OC under Payton.

 

 

[Gregg]

Don't know much about him to be honest. Lots of experience and comes for Payton coaching tree. Sounds like a good hire. 

[Virgil]

I’ve always been curious as to what a non-play calling OC/DC does on game day.   And are they essentially a substitute teacher throughout the week?  

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

A solid addition, the experience will help both Allen and Brady.

[The Jokeman]

Now add Davis Webb as QB coach/passing game coordinator (assuming Curry goes to Denver as OC).

If he’s the guy I’m thinking of he called plays for 1 season under Dennis Allen. If so, it’s good he won’t be calling plays cuz, in addition to limited talent on the team, he was kinda ass at it.
