Ax Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 With all the "talked about" coaches being covered, who are some of the lesser known assistants we might try. Head coach - Mike Solari from Kansas City from SI.com - • Mike Solari, Kansas City, offensive line -- Solari's reputation within the league is outstanding. Said one league observer: "He's one of the reasons why the Chiefs go where they go. He drives the machine. He resurrected Willie Roaf's career when New Orleans said he was done. He took [guard] Brian Waters off the street. He turned John Tait into a right tackle. The guy's really good.'' With Will Shields and Casey Wiegmann rounding out the K.C. line, Solari has talent to work with. But he makes every player better, and it's his guys who have cleared the way for Priest Holmes' record-breaking numbers the past three years. Would seem to know a thing or two about offense, and how to use it. Defensive coordinator - Dewayne Walker - Giants also from SI.com - DeWayne Walker, N.Y. Giants, DBs -- If the Giants fire Fassel and his staff after this season, Walker will be one of the hotter commodities in the pool of available assistants. Cerebral, with technician teaching skills, Walker is an NFL defensive coordinator in waiting. He has been described as Tyrone Willingham with a personality, and his work with young Giants cornerbacks Will Allen and William Peterson has drawn plaudits around the NFL. Already in his relatively brief coaching career, Walker has served under Steve Mariucci at Cal, with Pete Carroll at both New England and USC, and with Bill Belichick in New England. Knows the division, one would think. All I know about these two guys is what you read here. Anybody else know something about them. As in experience in the NFL.

Hog Fever Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I don't know anything about them past what you have here but they both sound interesting. I think a hungry assistant coach of some kind is going to be the way we need to go. Solari sounds very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraw238 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Al Saunders from Kansas City. This guy was coaching offense with the Rams and became OC for Vermeil. He has worked under two great offenses. We have the personel in place to run a similar offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
