I can't imagine he's assembling a staff like Quinn is doing here. Seahawks hired a University of Michigan Washington OC to be their OC, a Dallas D-Line coach to be their DC, and Jay Harbaugh to be their DC. Not sure how I'd feel about a college OC taking his first job at an NFL OC with a rookie head coach. Unless maybe there's a chance of J.J. McCarthy going there. Kirk Olivadotti is still hanging around, their linebackers coach. Edited February 14 by NickyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Olivadotti is still hanging around, their linebackers coach. I was on this board saying we should just transplant the Michigan organizational culture and personnel (within reason) to this franchise. I think people became so enamored with Alabama but their run of dominance was largely fueled under different circumstances. Getting a bunch of Bama guys was always the mark of a franchise with no ability to look forward or ask the right questions (why Alabama? Sheer talent? organizational culture?) Michigan innovated after a few good but not great years and COVID. The defensive results are clear from MacDonald and Minter at both pro and NFL levels, and they were part of a culture change at Michigan. Michigan has the most guys invited to the combine and it's clear that Michigan recruited well in a way that wasn't just a Texas A&M "Get five stars" approach. They developed talent and build a cohesive team that played complementary football extremely well. Of course, I'm biased and I'm uncertain what the future holds at Michigan or in college football, but I can't think of better teams to try to model than the Ravens and Michigan. The Ravens may never win a SB with Lamar Jackson, I don't know, but I think they're easily the class of the league as an organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine he's assembling a staff like Quinn is doing here. And it was mentioned a few times during the hiring cycle but we're just now seeing how important it was for GMAP and co. to find a coach who could assemble a great staff. They knew that it wasn't necessarily about the one head guy (sounds obvious but it's clear that we fans get rather caught up in the individual names and candidates). It seems to me that Quinn very much understands his success doesn't begin or end with just himself, and I think he's exceeding all of our expectations with how serious and diligent he's been bringing all these guys together. It definitely takes some pull and respect to be able to do what he has. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HvyHTTR Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 1 hour ago, Riggo#44 said: I am guessing it's the relationship with Quinn and Lynn, and Adam Peters too. Lynn probably wanted to go. Stop and read that last sentence again. Lynn probably wanted to come. People want to be here now. Good people. Ben Johnson's shriveled raisin of a scrotum aside, Quinn said he wanted this position before it was available. Peters wanted to come here, and here alone. These aren't Jim Zorn hires. These aren't Ron Rivera's give-him-the-world to come here hires. These aren't last-gaspers. These aren't Jay Gruden. These are legitimate hires. Now, it could very well burn down, fall over, and then sink into the swamp, but I am ****ing excited about the whole process. Now, please excuse me while I call the doctor. It's been WAY longer than 4 hours. *Mood at work after hearing about the Lynn hire* 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should correct myself, the OC is actually from U of Washington. On paper, a young staff sounds fine, but I suppose I'll sound traditionalist when I say that if my team had a rookie head coach, I'd prefer him to have a veteran coordinator on the side of the ball that the head coach doesn't specialize in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFan70s Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 So when are we getting an update on the coaching staff hires? This is feeling like a whole tree of coaches in its self, starting from HC to OC+DC and then sub-tree of coaches under them. Probably HC will act as a project manager who'll drive this whole team of coaches who run the football team and I am loving it. It is starting to feel like the start of something new+fresh, hopefully something special, like we were already not happy enough with the departure of Danny boy 😁. I wonder if we ever had this number of coaching staff in the past, may be in the Joe Gibbs era? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No same play twice! Re-invent everything! At the end of the day shallow cross is shallow cross however you call it in the huddle or with pictures from the sideline. Its going to come down to who is the QB and can we block for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
“Misdirection” Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Let’s not underestimate that Harris is likely providing Quinn with a pretty open pocketbook to get the absolute best coaching talent himself. Whereas the former guy was moreso pinching pennies outside the HC. Like any business, every department and line of business gets a budget and has to stick to it. This is seeming to be a sizeable budget for football ops ✅ 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Watching the Chiefs parade on NFLN right now. God I cannot wait until we have our next one. Hopefully we are on the right track to it now. The celebration in Georgetown after the last Super Bowl win is something I will never forget in my life. Complete bedlam. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoox Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) So, it looks like the only coaches on the Rivera staff that made the cut were Tavita Pritchard, Bobby Engram and Ryan Kerrigan (although maybe there's a chance that Ben Jacobs makes it?). This is definitely a housecleaning. PS - wouldn't it be something if Eric Bieniemy replaced Anthony Lynn in San Fran as RB coach/Asst HC...

FootballZombie Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 If remember correctly Lynn was the guy I liked the most in our OC search last year. Stoked to bring him into the fold. I like what he can bring as an offensive mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
