He could be for us, what Pagano was for the secondary, I would definitely like this hire as secondary coach.  :thmup:

So the same DB coach that couldn’t develop Tim Jennings :/ 

 

Good point. We will just have to see, I guess. 

 

However, Ballard's vision of tall physical CBs and Eberflus' working in tandem with Marinelli's D with man CBs in Claiborne, Carr etc. in Dallas would be a bigger overriding factor, IMO. Under Dungy and Ron Meeks, they were more afraid of giving up the big play and had the dual pass rushers. We don't have that now, so jamming at the line of scrimmage with man CBs may be a necessity to buy pass rushers time as well, we have to think about that angle too.

Coaches often get too much credit and too much blame. That's like blaming the patriots DB coach for not developing Darius butler.  Sometimes a player just needs to get his head out of his butt.

Sounds like he was offered job friday to strat making personal plans.

 

Reich wasn't even interviewed until Saturday.

 

Sounds like Reich started making contacts asking assistants if they'd like to join him IN Indianapolis IF he's offered the job.    That way, in his interview, Reich can tell Ballard and Irsay that he has commitments from certain assistants to join him.

 

Smart move by Frank.

Shamelessly clipped from Reich's Wikipedia page:

 

"In 1998, Beebe founded House of Speed, LLC, a company that specializes in training athletes in the essentials of top performance, speed and character. House of Speed began franchise operations in 2006 and has locations in eleven states."

 

It seems that you CAN teach speed after all!

we wont just be running a pure Tampa infact we may run a 3/4 43 tampa hybrid

 

As far as the DBs, Alan Williams coached our DBs during the Polian era and coached the Lions.  Both D's were focused on zone coverage almost exclusively.

 

That's yuk worthy!

BIOGRAPHY

Nick Sirianni will coach the Chargers wide receivers for a second season in 2017. A former quality control and quarterbacks coach, this is Sirianni’s fifth season with the team.

Under Sirianni’s guidance, Tyrell Williams enjoyed a breakout season for the Chargers in 2016. In just his second NFL season, Williams led the Bolts with 69 catches and 1,059 yards. He became just the 15th player in franchise history to top 1,000 yards. Three of the Chargers’ top four pass catchers in 2016 were wide receivers as Williams, Dontrelle Inman and Travis Benjamin combined to catch 174 passes for 2,546 yards and 15 touchdowns. Williams and Benjamin each caught six passes of 40 yards or longer, tied for most in the League.

A native of Jamestown, N.Y., Sirianni won three NCAA Division III National Championships (2000-02) as a wide receiver at the University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio. A three-year starter, he earned All-Ohio Athletic Conference honors as a senior after a career-high 13 touchdown catches. Sirianni spent one season (2005) playing in the Atlantic Indoor Football League with the Canton Legends before transitioning into coaching. He coached defensive backs at Mt. Union during the 2004-05 seasons and helped lead the Purple Raiders to another national title in 2005.

Sirianni spent three seasons (2006-08) coaching wide receivers at Indiana University in Pennsylvania before landing his first NFL job with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009. From 2009-11, he was an offensive quality control coach for the Chiefs and in 2012 he coached the team’s wide receivers. In 2010, Sirianni worked with the Chiefs’ quarterbacks and helped Matt Cassel achieve All-Pro honors.

Sirianni originally joined the Chargers in 2013 as a quality control coach on offense before spending the 2014-15 seasons coaching quarterbacks. Philip Rivers went to the Pro Bowl in 2014 and in 2015, he enjoyed a record-breaking season as he set new franchise marks for attempts and completions, while passing for 4,792 yards, 10 shy of the franchise record. Rivers set a team-record with five-straight 300-yard games in 2015, including the first 500-yard game in team history, and he threw 29 touchdown passes.

Sirianni’s brother, Mike, is the head coach at Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pa. A six-time Presidents’ Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, including 2012-14, Sirianni owns a .810 winning percentage (128-30), which is the highest in school history. In 2016, the Presidents went 9-2, including a 38-31 victory over Brockport State (N.Y.) in the ECAC Presidents Bowl at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Brother, Jay, is a former head coach at their alma mater, Southwestern Central High School in Jamestown where their father, Fran, also spent nine years as the varsity head coach. Under Jay, Southwestern Central won New York state championships in 2008 and ’09. He stepped down from coaching at Southwestern Central in 2015.

Sirianni and his wife, Brett, have a son, Jacob.

    • Any chance we take a OT with the 1st pick?
    • FWIW:   Today I listened to a guy from The Athletic interviewed on ESPN.   (Darren Lee). He said interviewing GMs at the combine, almost all view DeJean as a safety except two teams.  He thinks the Colts and Jags view DeJean as a corner.     I don’t know this reporter, never seen him before, so I can’t speak to his credibility.  But it sounds like he did a lot of homework.     And I appreciate your view on pro day times being reliable or not.   I’m always skeptical on pro days.  But I thought DeJean helped himself on his testing.  
    • I could care less what he does. Been too long ago.
    • I’m with ya..     I'm not sure we’re going WR at 15 either.  I think we could go DE, and it’s possible we could go CB as well.   Gosh,  I love Mitchell and really like Arnold as well.  And if we trade back I would be fine with McKinstry or a DE on defense or one of the 2nd tier of WRs that could be there in the 20’s.  So many options.   I keep reminding myself, every pick could produce a surprise, because I think Ballard will have so many options to choose from.      Im also not sure Ballard will use all 7 rounds.   He finished in 5 rounds in his first draft 2017,  and he finished in 6 rounds in 2019.   Maybe he uses all 7 rounds, but I’m not confident we will.     One week from tonight.   
    • My Final Mock Draft   15. Brock Bowers, TE,  6’4 245 Lbs, Georgia - Blue Chip Prospect.  Rare combination of acceleration, speed and body control. Hands-catcher operating with good coordination and technique. With Pittman on the outside Bowers will control the middle of the field and seams. AR Will develop much quicker into a top 10 QB with Bowers as his TE.  46. TJ Tampa, CB, 6’1, 190 Lbs, Iowa State - Elite physical traits. Plays with good positioning throughout routes. Very good in press Coverage and Zone. Expect him to compete in training camp and be named a starter.      82. Calen Bullock, S, 6’2 190 lbs, USC - Elite physical traits. He has the range to play single-high safety, the athleticism to line up over the slot and the ball skills to chalk up impressive on-ball production. Expect him to compete in training camp for the starting S position.    117. Tez Walker,  WR,  6’2 195 Lbs, UNC - Elite speed with very good body control. Career average of 30.7 yards on touchdown receptions. Gives us very good depth and competition with Pierce.    151. Grayson Murphy, DE, 6’3 260 Lbs, UCLA - Shows impressive quickness and change of direction to help turn speed to power as a rusher. Good depth.    191.  Keaton Bills, G, 6’5 320 Lbs, Utah - Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front. Very good depth.
