There are also a couple shifts that they could make on the staff. Rodriguez has been a DL guy more than a OLB guy in his career. Their ILB coach has coached OLBs previously. You probably want some Rallis insurance for the upcoming years.

I am curious to see if Eberflus finds his way onto Gannon’s staff.
I'd rather see an offensive guru brought on staff to assist/mentor Petzing, especially someone proficient in the passion game.
That would be my number one priority if I'm JG, which I'm not.

The great thing is that you don’t have to pick one or the other. This would have nothing to do with adding an offensive anything.

Well, Gannon was on his staff in Indy as a DB coach. Eberflus has been a LB coach for multiple teams. Gannon has shared he likes his coaching style. Coaches like to surround themselves with guys they know and trust.
I don't think that's just coaches. :D

Ebberflus had one of the better “WTF is going on faces” I can remember a coach having.

I'm actually ok with him there. Not the clock management but I actually respect him for taking the fall for it instead of blaming the rookie QB. They could have helped Caleb there and they didn't, they let him sink or swim and he sank. So the coach then said he was ok with the clock management etc.

It was horrible but I was glad to see him protect his QB. I've seen some suggestion that it got him fired but I doubt that was it.

Kliff Kingsbury could be a candidate as he was Williams OC at USC.
I don't think KK wants any part of Caleb Williams. He turned down Chicago as OC this year to go to Washington. There were many rumblings at USC about Williams and his coachability.

I think the whole "We did it right" insistence got him fired. That's clearly not the case and he doesn't have to throw his QB under the bus to admit that. A simple "It's on me to call timeout there and I should have done it" would suffice. I mean, he probably would have been fired soon anyway, but this did him no favors.

Kliff didn’t want any part of a staff that was obviously pre-fired.
