Free Agency Coaching Connections

[OllyDawes]

Just some coaching connections ideas in terms of free agency - who our coaches have previously worked with that are hitting the market.

Chuck Pagano (former Ravens DC, Secondary coach)

CB Cary Williams

DE/LB Paul Kruger

LB Dannell Ellerbe

Bruce Arians (former Steelers OC)

RB Rashard Mendenhall

WR Mike Wallace

Harold Goodwin (Former Steelers OL QC)

C Doug Legursky

OG Ramon Foster

OT Max Starks

Gary Emanuel (former Purdue DC)

DT Kawann Short (Draft)

OLB Shaun Phillips

OLB Anthony Spencer

Jeff FitzGerald (former Ravens, Bengals LB coach)

LB Rey Maualuga

LB Manny Lawson

LB Keith Rivers

DE/LB Michael Johnson

DE/LB Antwan Barnes

Marwan Maalouf (former Browns special quality control coach)

WR Josh Cribbs

Greg Manusky (former 49ers and Chargers DC)

LB Manny Lawson

DE/LB Antwan Barnes

DE/LB Shaun Phillips

CB Antoine Cason

NT Aubrayo Franklin

NT Isaac Sopoaga

DT/DE Vaughn Martin

DT/DE Ricky Jean Francois

S Dashon Goldson

Charlie Williams (former UNC WR coach)

WR Brandon Tate

Not necessarily saying we should or will sign any of these guys, but interesting to see who our coaches have worked with that are FA's. Particularly interesting seeing Antwan Barnes, Shaun Phillips and Manny Lawson appear more than once.

Props and Mad Love to you for doing this!

Josh Cribbs in a Colts uni would be awesome!

Great job

This may be the best post that I've ever seen on a forum. Just the fact that you knew where these guys were and what players they coached.

I don't know if you look these up but, these connections are an outstanding thought. Not saying that I want everybody that's listed. LOL but just the fact that they are there would give us a heads up or opportunity to get them if needed.

Nice work!

Would love to add Goldson and Spencer for sure, possibly Cary Williams as he played well under Pagano last year.

[Gavin]

Sopoaga

Kruger

Williams

 

would be nice

Oh it took a fair bit of research! But I had some spare time on Christmas Eve, thought it'd be interesting to search who might be a target...big free agency period coming up!

Well, i wouldnt mind Mike Wallace, Cary Williams or Goldson, even josh cribbs, but we got Ty Hilton, he's going to become a special teams beast for years to come
