News and rumors of potential coaching staff additions.

Really hope it was just rust why Watson was so awful.

I hope Watson just sucks and that’s why. I have no investment in Deshaun Watsons success

I wouldn’t be surprised if we tried to bring Joel Thomas in as something as well… give them a OC interview to bring them into the building as a chance to speak to them about another position on the staff as franchises can’t refuse an interview for a promotion to coordinator, but they can for a lateral move.

I like this. If Petzing works out you have a potential replacement in waiting if he's hired away.

Plus there's going to be a lot of work to do. More hands required.

Did Zimmer officially go to Univ of Colorado?

Not that I can see. Charles Kelly is DC.

He is 31. I see a trend.

We're collecting all the coaches called Drew.

Drew Butler for ST, anybody, lol?

On the local radio this morning Bobby Carpenter was asked who was the best defensive coach he played under.
His answer was Zimmer.

I’d like them to get him.

Keep in mind Watson did not play for almost the whole season over his off season misdeeds. Murray got hurt and was out for 2022 over injury. Just hope for the best for Gannon and the the new coaching staff.

Zimmer and Munchak? Perhaps?

I've heard the theory that Hopkins made Watson a lot better than he is.

I've heard the theory that Hopkins made Watson a lot better than he is.

Only issue with that is despite the w/l record Watson got even better the year without Hopkins.

For those playing at home he’s 39-40

For reference, Gannon was 37/38 and Steichen was 35ish, when Sirianni hired them in Philly. We can talk about actual NFL years of experience they may may not, but Gannon is no stranger to the youth movement for coaches.

Heck Sirianni is still just 41, which means he was younger than Gannon when the Eagles hired him.

I'm excited to have coaches that can actually coach. Who see it as their job to make players better.

A lot of our drafts have been poor not only from poor drafting, but from not being able to take an unfinished product and enhance their abilities. We have had some coaches over the years here and there I felt could do that but now I feel like it's a core tenet of the staff.

The Chiefs are a perfect example of having faith in the scouting, coaching and drafts. They actually PLAYED their rookies.
You draft a player based on what you believe he can be.

This made me laugh. I don't mind Johnny but I think he is projecting here. Maybe he has more sources than I am aware of. It is a bold statement for a coach like Gannon who just hasn't been around for very long time.

There's been such a disconnect for years in that process. I'm hopeful it's finally going to be fixed.

I wonder if Gannon will take a run at Jerry Gray for his DB coach spot.
