    So pep hamilton should go...?

  • I thought Jimmy said no changes were to be made?

    Just like he said the rebates were to be given?

    He was clearly talking about the top positions. Assistant coaches are determined by the head coach. Haslam doesn't make those decisions, just as he doesn't decide if one of the groundkeeprs need to be replaced.

    I would not have guessed Pep would be that big of a selling point... is it simply that he has NFL experience?

    Well, it is just a rumor now. These are the same guys that said Harbaugh would never leave the NFL for Michigan, so take that with a grain of salt.

    But yes, one of the biggest pulls Michigan has on recruits is preparation for the NFL. Our staff is full of NFL playing and coaching experience, plus we run a pro style offense. We can sell that staff's ability to get players NFL ready. Especially at positions like QB, where a more college spread style offense won't do that. Pep would be our "Passing Game Coordinator". So not quite an OC, but he'll work with WRs, QBs, TEs, etc.

    It also just let's recruits know who their coach will be, and not necessarily a selling point.

    He was OC with Harbaugh at Stanford I believe. I cant fault the guy for wanting to just go back to coach college, especially when he can work with a guy he had worked for before.

  • See ya Pep!.. Turn the job over to McCown now!



  • #Browns Hue Jackson on if Pep Hamilton is remaining: 'I feel very comfortable that Pep will stay (with Browns).''


  • Looks like its a done deal 😵

    Sounded right... I checked and Pep joined the Harbaugh's Stanford staff in 2010 as WR coach. Jim then left for SF in 2011 and Pep rose to OC/QB Coach under Harbaugh's replacement David Shaw who had held the dual position under Jim H.

  • welp looks like i was correct one both ray and pep

  • So I guess the question is who is brought in to replace him? He was QB Coach/Passing Game Coordinator. Seems like the target would be a current QB Coach with another team, but I guess there are some recently fired OC who might take the job to get back on their feet.

    Or....an offensive minded ex HC. ..to serve, despite what you may call it, as OC.

    Hey! Chip Kelly? (Ok, no)

    Mike McCoy, recently of the Chargers?

    Whisenhunt?

  • welp looks like i was correct one both ray and pep

    Hard to see a current, or even recent, OC taking a responsibility downgrade. And definitely not seeing an Offensive-minded HC taking a double downgrade.

    Excepting job desperation, of course...

    Half credit for Pep... tops... don't push it... 😉

    I mean I'm just calling it what it is. Considering that Hue wants to call his own plays, that is going to effect who would take the job. For example Whisenhunt (who I think has already had two shots at being a HC) might take the job if offered, bit I wouldn't imagine McCoy would be interested. That's why Roman makes sense to me. A twice fired OC might like the idea of taking a step back for the chance to work with someone like Hue with the idea of working his way back up.

  • Didn't mind Horton getting replaced... but Pep leaving makes me wonder if there's (yet again) problems between upper management and the coaches. WTF

    I think he just jumped at the chance to go back to college. Honestly I feel that if there we big issues with the CS and FO like a few years ago, we would have been hearing it for a good part of the season.

    Not sure why that gives you pause about the FO... Most HC's are pretty damn good insulation for their staff.
