Interesting. 

[BProland85]

But the Ravens WRs have never really been that good as of late. I would prefer Jim Bob.

Yep, he was a QB at Tennessee and drafted by the Steelers way back.

I am getting so old. I didn’t realize that was that long ago lol.

The name sounds familiar but I can’t remember from where

Right? Over 20 years ago… sheesh…

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like we are going young at OC too. Jim Bob I’d also young. We are about to enter the modern era of NFL football. So exciting.

QB at Tennessee after Peyton Manning.

Shane has no one specific target.  Not even from his former team.  I guess we can expect more names.

But he’s coached several good NFL receivers, including Pittman Jr. at USC.

A common trend so far: coaches with QB playing experience. Cooter was a QB as well.

Kind of hard to coach a receiver room when the talent levels are below average.

I’d like them to give Tom Clements, Packers QB coach a chance at the OC position:

With teams wanting young head coaches, this could end up like a seasoned Tom Moore like situation and stability with him less likely to be poached. Just look at his resume folks.

Just looked him up, I remember him as the old Offensive Coordinator for USC

[bertjones7]

He did not do well as OC at USC.  I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan and can say most fans did not even want Martin for the OC position at Miami. 
 

I would expect Steichen to go in a different direction.

I don’t know much about him, just starting to do some digging.

 

I believe he spent 15 years coaching in college and the last 2 as the WR coach for the ravens. After his 1st season in the NFL, he interviewed for the Bills OC position last off season.

 

I mean, I think that’s somewhat intriguing. Seems like he is gaining attention fairly quickly, especially on a team that isn’t known for their passing game. Must being doing something to gain attention, no?

He was fired as OC at USC for having the 103rd ranked offense. That is terrible for any program let alone USC.

Yea, I don’t follow college football to closely, and not USC. But I follow enough to know they used to be a yearly contender and that they’ve fallen off.

 

But again, here he is, still coaching. Now in the NFL and still garnering interest as a potential OC.

 

I still think Jim Bob Cooter is the best candidate that’s been mentioned, just trying find out more on this guy. I didn’t know he existed until he wasn’t mentioned as a possible OC here.

They won the NC with him at QB (and a lot of strange luck) after Peyton graduated.  
 

Poor Peyton got destroyed by Florida every year.  I think Spurrier called it his Homecoming game, lol.

[lollygagger8]

I prefer Cooter

I had the same moment when I saw Christian McCaffery play at Stanford and thought "oh is that the little brother...oh, no..it's his son"

That's okay, and I can beat it.  When I was a little kid we went to a Browns game where they honored Jim Brown, who was still playing.  They brought him out at half time to ride around the field in a convertible.  During a game he was playing in!!

 

He's 87 today.
