lane kiffin is now a headcoach at a small college program.
he modernized alabama's offense and many think he is a real genius offensive mind.
he also is supposed to be good in adapting the offense based on talent.

now he is a really difficult person and probably not someone you want to bring in as a coach.
but jerry can pay him and bribe the school for a day per week as an advisor.

any candidate would have to be able to deal with the strings of the puppetmaster.

Remember the Dan Reeves hire a few years back?

Forget the advisors, consultants, gurus and professional babysitters. Get a quality head coach, let him pick his own staff, and start to build a real system in Dallas that will produce football players and develop a philosophy that will define the franchise no matter what coaches or players pass through. Then pass on any players that don't fit into that philosophy.

Quit trying to redefine and rebuild the franchise around what they think is the fastest way to being competitive based on the players that happen to be on the roster each year.

Nice idea. Now Let’s try to be realistic in this trying time.

he rebuilt alabama's offense.
we need someone who is an offensive mind who maximizes players.
set the big picture and let the dumb coaches follow instructions.

of course i would like a real hc and a smart oc.
but that is being realistic in the middle of the season.

Name the last 3 college coaches that worked out in the NFL.

It would depend on how Jerry and Company really got rid of his father...

i seem to recall they did it in a nice way as marinelli was slowly moved in.
kind of like how richard is being slowly put into position to take over.

did not say i want him to be a coach.
he seems to have serious issues getting along with people and would be a bad day-to-day employee

That is exactly what I was thinking!!!!!!!

They hired him on Friday, then fired him on Monday because they didn't like what he had to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only way I see him leaving FAU is a power 5 team offers him a HC gig or he is an OC in the NFL.
Adviser? Doubtful.

My question is why would he do this unless Jerry backed up a dump truck of money and why would Jerry be willing to do that when he's already paying Garrett and Linehan for the very same thing?

If your offensive coaches need a coaching advisor, you hire new coaches. This is the NFL. This isn't where you're supposed to have training wheels.

He already did it once w/ Reeves.

This. We've tried that before and it really hasn't worked all that well. I don't see any reason to expect anything differently. In fact, all that would do, IMO, is provide more cover for this coaching staff. Honestly though, if you need an adviser, then why are you paying the guys you are paying to coach? That doesn't make sense to me. JMO

I’m sure there’s no way we’d do something “outside of the box” like that.

Good idea though

Didn’t dan reeves sign with us already as a consultant and then left immediately?
