RELEASED Colombo out; Joe Philbin expected to reunite with McCarthy to coach OL

[willia451]

Gonna be the Green Bay Cowboys pretty soon.

Lol

As long as it leads to severing the Boise State umbilical I'm fine with that.

 

[Stash]

yea i was counting nolan.

Mike McCarthy
Mike Nolan
Jim Tomsula
Joe Philbin
Jon Fassel (Interim)

other potential head coaches to be hired as positional coaches
Jim Haslett
Ben Mcadoo

That's pretty amazing. When Jerry said they were looking for "NFL head coaching experience" I never realized it went this far.

If they all truly get along and are committed like when they were younger this could be a great staff.

 

[birdwells1]

I like Marc Columbo and always will. I imagine he will be a part of a Garrett staff somewhere in the future.

having said that we now have added a third assistant coach with a lifetime of football experience and a former NFL head coach.

If Haslett is hired that would be four former head coaches as positional coaches here.

This is great news.

In Pop Warner?

 

[willia451]

I think this says a lot about Kellen Moore.

It may say he's not as safe as some believe.

 

[Stash]

Most definitely.

I think that they all see the talent on this team that we and most everyone else does.

I feel that the improvement in the on-field product will be dramatic.

Damn. McCarthy is sparing NO ONE (except Moore). I expected a clean house but not this. Jerry isn’t playing this time.... he must’ve been really angry or disappointed to let it come to this.

I am not sure about this. I mean I agree with you about cleaning house. But I don’t know this coach. Our O-Line was able to block both ways. How is he gonna handle this. Remember the coach JG hired from the bengals, started changing there techniques and it was a disaster bro. I mean they looked bad. We had injuries and Fredbeard being out hurt but our O-Line suffered. Will he help.

We are paying way too much for this o line to be this inconsistent.

It may say he's not as safe as some believe.

Maybe. I hope not. I think it says he saw what Kellen did here last year and wants him to be his OC.

 

[ShortRound]

Dang, Jerry gave MM the keys. I'm shocked.

 

[KDM256]

Really wish Bill Callahan would've been brought back to help this O-Line dominate again but that was wishful thinking on my part.

Wait & See Approach with Philbin just like the rest of these newly acquired hires.

 

[AbeBeta]

Philbin is Mike's right hand man.

 

[cowboy_ron]

How does Philbin in compare to Callahan?

 

[willia451]

Maybe. I hope not. I think it says he saw what Kellen did here last year and wants him to be his OC.

All I've seen is MM has expressed "interest" in keeping KM. Or that he is "expected" to be retained.

People said the exact same kinds of things about Colombo.

We'll see.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Any word on RB coach and Jon Kitna QB coach?

 

[Teague31]

Good. Colombo’s lines folded against any team with a pulse

 

[Carson]

Any word on RB coach and Jon Kitna QB coach?

Nothing yet. Word is, waiting to hear from whom they offered the RB coach to. If not, Gary Brown seems to be the fallback

 

[IceStar-D7]

I don't think any coach minus maybe Moore should of even been considered by McCarthy to stay around.

 

[ksadler1]

This hire plus Tomsula now hired...........I'm liking that McCarthy has hit the ground running.................his "process" seems to be a bit faster than we're used to

I always felt like we'd see how serious Jerry was by how long it took to hire a new HC. It's obvious Jerry wanted to get someone in right away so they could get to work. It's also obvious, due to the speed this is all coming together, that Jerry had been working on this long before the season ended. McCarthy is having no problems plucking coaches from other teams which tells you he had already been giving people a heads up for if, or when, he was hired in Dallas. I'm actually very impressed with McCarthy so far. He's been very decisive...
