Outside of that retention, there are a handful of names McCarthy has worked with before, and they’ve had mixed results across the league. There is however, a heavy dose of former head coaches. Four of the assistant coaches have been in the big chair before and they are in some of the higher ranking positions.
That’s not by accident. McCarthy has spoken to how much he believes in chain of command, and while that was clearly an issue with the Dallas coaching staff in 2019 (read Ben Bloom’s beef with Jaylon Smith and Kris Richard taking it to Stephen Jones), McCarthy seems to be prepared to have individual position groups run as business units. Nolan, John Fassel (ST), Joe Philbin (OL) and Jim Tomsula (DL) have all had the big whistle at one point or another in their careers.
If McCarthy is indeed all-in on using analytics, there have been no formal announcements about that portion of his staff. Fans will just have to wait to see if there really is a movement underway.
In the meantime, here’s a review of the on-field coaching staff as we see it, with a few additions still to be made.
The link has the grades for the coaches. Defensive coordinator grade is somewhat of a surprise.
