Apparently Mark Whipple will be an experienced enough quarterbacks coach to be a psuedo O coordinator along with Shurmur's play calling...

Thoughts?

I love these random 'because we disagree about this....we have nothing in common' posts. So let me guess, you're one of the people that.............cried when DA left, thought DA would be a probowler in AZ, think Seattle wants MH back, thought we would be watching the Browns play the Packers on Sunday, thought Carthon would be a great OC because he used to be an NFL player, thought Savage would be a great GM because he was a 'great' scout, think Cowher would be twice the president MH would be because he has 2 SB rings. Spot on?

He does not understand why Daboll was a bad hire for Miami. I told him just wait till you see his play calling and game schemes. He calls plays not to lose, but definitely not to win either.

The one thing that I do like about the new regime is that Holmgren owes the Steelers one...

He was very vocal after that super bowl loss to the Steelers, with those idiotic penalities called against his team that cost him the game....

I think that game still gets his blood boiling...

Peace

its actually pathetic how he still whines about his "luck" in that game. such an honorable man would take the high road....but not our holmy. cries like a little girl that he was mistreated.

just another reason i would prefer to see his ass booted from berea.

not even in the same zip code

dont go to games....prefer to watch on TV. i never cheer injuries to any player (save bens broken nose, that was deserved), and i own a JJ jersey. note that i stayed here cause the quinn homer fags left...oh wait....ur a new guy. you weren't even here when DA was playing for us noob.

see what happens when u ASSume?

onto the topic, my point is similar to a few other views. first time HC with mediocre/new coaches surrounding him taking over a team devoid of talent with no OC. if this is the walrus' plan to make us better than we were, then im not buying it. i hope im wrong, but i wont be. u put an aweful lot of faith into an above average coach turned rookie czar with no track record making questionable decisions hiring his agent's clients in the good-ol'-boy network. holmgren stinks of hypocrisy; i was not enamored with his hiring in the first place....but to demand results of mangini after 1 year, can him and ask for patience from us? lmao.....this is his bed now. 2 years and we'll be discussing our new FO personnel.

Yeah this is not looking good if you ask me no OC and a fresh new head coach who has to manage both, dosent look good

With Jauron on board Shurmur doesn't have to worry too much about the defensive side of the ball. I think we will be just fine, at least we will know that the head coach and OC will be on the same page for a change!!!!!!!!

Not to mention that he had the players and system in place..

We're blowing it up, no doubt but thats what you do with teams that finish 5 - 11 two years running...

I'm not overly optimistic but I'll reserve judgement until after the draft...

I don't think you can call Jauron inexperienced. He has been a HC for 2 different teams and a DC for several others.

I don't know about Whipple etc. but a lot less experienced people than what we have were at times selected for HC jobs.

Don Shula was only 33 when he got the HC job of the Colts. Tomlin only 34. etc.

Obviously shurmur has both holmgren and heckerts confidence that he can handle both duties and i love the accountability factor shurmy is putting on himself by calling his own plays and setting the table for the new/next OC to eat from..

I will take holmgrens "gut feeling" over a monkey suits hire by stat sheet anytime, its potentially how the next holmgren or belichick gets discovered...

Or the next Organzation fails for another 3 years...Its just a crap shoot

Going the "no OC" route would concern me if we had a decent offense, but since the way we've been doing things hasn't worked....well, anything is worth a shot at this point.

does anyone else think that shurms is getting in too far over his head? a first year head coach who runs the offense and calls plays sounds like a big plate.

Whipple is assistance OC so it's not like Shurmer is doing it himself. It's kind of like how the Ravens are having their OC run the QB's and are not hiring a QB coach. Obviously they will be a bit stretched but I have no reason to believe that these two guys can't run the offense and since this is technically just speculation there is still a chance that they hire an Offensive Coordinator.

Doesn't really worry me. Whipple is a good QB coach and both him and Shurmer should be good enough to work the offense. Saves the team some money and there is still a chance we try to talk to Greenbays QB coach after the SB.
