stevegrab Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Shane friggin Steichen? I can tell that my team hasn't been in the head coach search for a few years, because some of these folks getting jobs are complete unknowns. Guess I don't follow the Eagles closely, or he isn't mentioned much as the OC during games. He was the Eagles OC last 2 seasons and Chargers OC the year before that. But he was just a quality control coach less than 10 years ago before rising up the ranks with the Chargers. He is expected to be a big part of the Colts new offense with a rookie QB taken in the top 5 picks of the first round. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35657690/indianapolis-colts-officially-hire-shane-steichen-head-coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Panthers HC Frank Reich hires former Colts/Lions HC Jim Caldwell to join his staff as a senior assistant. He will work with the offense, while recently hired special assistant Dom Capers works with the defense. Sounds like the Panthers brass is happy with Reich's plan and a staff loaded with NFL experience, compared to Rhule who has virtually none and brought a mostly college staff with him. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35657966/ex-colts-lions-hc-caldwell-joins-panthers-staff (These stories follow one right after each other on ESPN as I scroll down.)

He hasn’t signed but deal was done. I suppose he could back out and sign with Philly. What a dick move that would be. 😂 But money talks these days and Philly isn’t a bad spot to land right about now.

darin3 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 All this Bieniemy talk got me thinking..... maybe he's just a sh*tty interview? All of these woke sports talk radio hosts getting all bent out of shape with other candidates getting jobs (Kliff Kingsbury, etc.) before him... ever stop to think maybe he just doesn't interview well? Yeah, sure his resume is sparkling, but maybe ownership and the GM just don't get warm & fuzzies when they talk to him about the process of making their franchise a winner. I've reviewed hundreds of awesome resumes, only to interview the person and think "wow, this guy is a stiff". Sometimes personality and fit matter. Maybe Bieniemy is just better suited to being an OC. Just a thought. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 Local news had an interesting tidbit, with recent hires there are 4 NFL coaches with Northeast Ohio roots, not Just Ohio, but Cleveland-Akron-Canton area specifically. TEN - Mike Vrabel - born in Akron, played at Walsh Jesuit (Akron area private school) and Ohio state LAC - Brandon Staley - born in Perry Ohio (CLE suburb), and played at Perry HS, then Dayton LV - Josh McDaniels - born in Barberton (Akron suburb), played at Canton McKinley (a powerhouse 20+ years ago) at small D-3 school John Carrol IND - Jonathan Gannon - born in Cleveland, played at St. Ignatius (a perennial powerhouse) They also mentioned that Gannon was likely to tag Browns QB coach Drew Ptezing as his OC. They worked together on the Vikings staff for several years in the 2010s. He also mentioned taking some of what he learned play at St. Ignatius, where their legendary coach Chuck Kyle just recently retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
