2018-19 NFL coaching carousel thread

I'm pretty sure Arians health issues were more liver based and once he got away from Steve Keim they cleared up a little.

It’s bad when he’s willing to come back and work for the Glazers but I imagine Arians doesn’t see this as more than a 3 year gig.

At least it got him off CBS. He was awful.

About 40 hours later than I envisioned.

I may be a bit behind the times, but 'INSIDE linebackers coach'? So a single linebackers coach can't handle it by himself anymore?

I don't think it is that unusual. I read somewhere that the Steelers actually have one of the smallest coaching staffs in the league and they have an inside linebackers coach.

The Steelers just fired Joey Porter as the outside linebackers coach so there must be an inside linebackers coach also.

In a 3-4 scheme, the job of an ILB and an OLB are entirely different.

I knew they had one. Jerry Olsavsky is their inside linebackers coach. Keith Butler was the linebackers coach from 2003 to 2014. He was focusing on the outside linebackers by the time they promoted him to defensive coordinator in 2015.

The odd thing is they won't be replacing Porter. In addition to being the defensive coordinator, Butler is going to be the outside linebackers coach in 2019. Because when you have a defense that constantly struggles with communication breakdowns and consistently blows leads late in games, what you need to do is put more on the defensive coordinator's plate.

The Dallas Cowboys promoted Kellen Moore to offensive coordinator and named Jon Kitna as the club’s quarterbacks coach on Thursday. Moore replaces Scott Linehan, who was the team’s offensive coordinator from 2015-18 after joining the club in 2014 as passing game coordinator. Kitna takes over the quarterbacks from Moore, who coached the position in 2018 after his six-year playing career.

I'm surprised they can still get assistants in Dallas. You know Garrett is bullet-proof to Jones, but at the same time doesn't have any juice to protect an assistant's job.

It's not like they got established "star" assistants or big names.

Moore was already there, and the QB coach job was his first coaching gig after retiring as a player.

Has Kitna coached anywhere before other than his kid's high school?

 

[DanOregon]

Can you have a checkered coaching career if the last two stops didn't include coaching in a game?

Sources: Cowboys unlikely to extend Garrett

Boy - this will end well. I can see this playing out with the Cowboys opening the year with wins against the Bills, Redskins, Lions and Jets and Jerry extends him for four years.

Garret likes filling out a staff with mini-mes. Was Gary Hogeboom (don't call me Hogenbloom) unavailable?

 

[DanOregon]

Do you really think Garrett gets to pick his staff? I imagine Jones saying, "Now don't you go worrying about that Jason, I've got it covered."

Not that Jerry is alone. Of the 32 teams, I'm guessing at least half have a GM giving input on coaching staff, lineups/final roster and/or game planning.

Didn't see this coming.

Former long time NFL quarterback and Dallas Cowboys assistant coach Wade Wilson passed away Friday at his home in Coppell, Texas.

Well, you knew that someone was going to value wins over morals. I'm kind of surprised it is Southern Miss, though. I thought better of them. He's interviewing for OC.

 

[DanOregon]

Nobody ever accused him of running a clean program - just a winning one.
