It looks like it is down to the 49ers and the Rams for the services of the Rob Chudzinski, the OC, HC, and now TE coach of the Colts. I’m assuming Indy is out of the running as he just got a half-assed endorsement from the GM, and since this is being dragged out to the bitter end of his deal, one would likely think they would have wrapped him up already had they wanted him. But then again, it’s the Colts and the Irsay family running things, so anything could happen.
The hopeful side of me thinks this would be a great opportunity for a young coach to be able to work with a young stud QB and do some rehab of his own image at the same time. He can’t be too greedy in wanting to get back to the head coaching ranks after his last debacle in Cleveland. A place that has humbled better men than him, and promises more of the same as they unwind themselves from their latest QB disaster.
Anyhoo, the Bears ended their OC search by inking Adam Gase, the latest wonderboy guy who has a pretty stacked team to work with, although he has Jay (what, me worry?) Cutler as his QB. The Rams? Well, they have a solid if not unspectacular coach in Jeff Fisher, and an offense that varies between lukewarm and glacial. Mainly because they can’t even keep their 2nd string QB (Shaun Hill) upright, let alone Mr. Knee Injury Sam Bradford. He can’t seem to make it through training camp, having missed the last 2 years.
Then there are the owners. Wellllll. The Rams did have Georgia Frontiere, one of the most despised owners in any sport, but Walmart latcher-onner Stan Kroenke is doing a fairly good job of not being an major tool. Our side? Well, there’s the thing. Chud wouldn’t really be able to pick his staff, but then again neither did anyone else. The fallback is a one-way ticket to mediocrity in one Geep Chryst. A guy who as a QB coach, did as much for Kappy as John Morton did for the WRs. Or Mangini did with the TEs.
*gulp*
I didn’t say he was the second coming, NoFear. Just that he improved with better coaching.
Just cuz yer an old dog doesn’t mean others can’t learn new tricks.
WOOF!
Del there’s the possibility that a good OC can get more control of Kaeps’ development too.
Since there’s plenty of questions surrounding the Roman / Harbaugh dynamic, (who ran who’s Offense), will no longer be relevant with Tomsula, and the yet TBD OC.
Chud makes sense for his TE experience, (which Mangini had no business dabbling in) and, his work with a similar pupil, Cam Newton in Carolina.
I like the idea of Tomsula learning the Team Mgt phase, while someone takes ownership of the Offense.
Tomsula does carry weight on the Defensive side obviously, which could help the transition some on that side of the ball.
As we all know, Tomsula has no background to speak of, least of all, on the Offensive side of the mix.
For me, it’s all about getting Kaep comfortable with an Offense he can Master.
By now I’m sure everyone has heard the latest news surrounding Deflate-gate.
There’s a mystery attendant on video seen handling Brady’s balls after the League inspection process was completed.
How much money do we figure this individual will acquire for taking the fall?
Hell I would bring back Kap’s college coach at UNR Chris Ault as a consultant.If anyone knows how to get the most production out of him it’s Ault,running the pistol offense he invented was enjoyable to watch.
Too old at 68, to be the OC,IMO, but could be quite helpful, working with Chud(hoping he gets the job) to turn this offense around.
Alleykat I was calling for Ault when he left Nevada, as were several others.
At this point, I’d prefer less running from Kaep, more controlled passing.
IMO, there’s nothing wrong with dipping into the College ranks for a young, more creative play-caller.
If Chud doesn’t agree to join on.
Throw out ‘The Book’ and blaze a new trail.
Malzahn at Auburn is onto something.
Yeah I had the same thought AK. He was on KC. Not sure now.
I’ve identified the mystery ball attendant from the Patriots surveillance video.
He’s a 3rd generation Patriot fan.
His name is Patsy.
Patsy Scapegoat.
He loves the Patriots more than anything in the world.
He will confess to his misdeeds, regarding the deflation of NFL game balls, following the SB this weekend.
For his loyal, and unselfish devotion to the Patriots, he will plead guilty to his offense.
In return, he will receive a wildly OVER-inflated severance package, to assist him in his retirement years.
Mr Kraft was quoted,
“Patsy handled Tom Brady’s balls better than anyone could have expected, or imagined.
Our organization wishes Patsy all the best in his retirement. He defines the spirit of a TRUE Patriots fan.”
Nixon has nothing on this guy. To think it all started with the work furlough guy clearing the field for a late FG.
Yeh Chuck, the list of accusations just keep on coming.
Can’t fault Richard Sherman for stating the obvious either.
As long as Goodell keeps raking in his millions, from the same guys he’s there to protect, this game is going to remain a long way away, from ever being taken seriously, when it comes to sh!t like this.
They’re all in bed together.
The Colts have just announced they are retaining Rob Chudzinski naming him associate HC. That puckering sound you hear is Chuck’s sphincter tightening like a boa constrictor.
Chud’s staying in INDY as the Colts just named him an associate HC.
On to plan Q….
Time to think outside the box Del.
Go get a College guy with some new ideas.
Business as usual, with the same recycled NFL Coaches is getting B-O-O-O-O-R-I-N-G.
