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

[DogFace]

Colombo played RT in the NFL.

That’s why he’s an excellent OL coach.

Magic Johnson played point guard in the NBA.
(Wasn’t a good coach)

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Damn, Jerry really let him have full control.

Yes, and this is.......... GREAT!!!! I liked Colombo, buy Philbin as oline coach is a nice replacement.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Good, "you want me to do a job, then let me get my people in"

Yup! McCarthy is actually being allowed to buy the groceries! I'm liking it! This is new!! A coach who knows what he's doing!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

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

I think he's taking Kellen Moore under his wing. What if it turns out that Kellen turns out to be another Sean Payton? Cuz I really like what MM is doing, and i think he sees Kellen as someone who needs teaching. And he seems to be a teacher like Parcells was.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

A couch with real authority, we actually have a chance to be a Super Bowl team.

Try that on for size. I think we can do it with MM. I'm really enjoying this process. Quick, and with chaps that know what they're doing.

Excited to see JJ let a HC do his own thing. Hoping he don’t meddle in it to much. With our current team we should make the playoffs his first year.

I can't wait to see what MM delivers for us. JJ seems on board.

I am on board. We all wanted JG gone so we got what we wanted.

Im all for Mike getting his own guy but why not keep Colombo on as an assistant to Philbin?

I dunno. I suppose that would work.

No I'm done buying into false hype. The couching staff is more experienced but underwelmingly still not great. More importantly we have 26fa. Who ends up starting on the back end of this defense will determine it's success. As of now we might beat the skins but that's it in our division.

 

[John813]

I dunno. I suppose that would work.

I was reading rumors Miami was interested in Colombo if he got cut. Supposedly Flores and Colombo go back to Boston College days.

 

[Risen Star]

Colombo didn't impress me but I don't know about Philbin. The only good thing is it clearly comes from the head coach.

 

[Bowdown27]

We had the number 1 Offense and an elite OL and RB.

What exactly needed fixed ?!?!

#OLhate

I meant in general changing the whole culture. I never said just oline

 

[jnday]

yeah. Let’s get rid of the offensive coaches.

that #1 ranking sucks.

next season, we can be #2

Exactly how many meaningful games did those numbers one offense stats win this year? Those stats couldn’t even beat a team with a winning record. Meaningless stats is not the foundation to build an argument .

 

[eromeopolk]

WAT

If this is true, I am warming up to the "McCarthy Hearings" in Dallas. I did not like hearing about Kellen Moore but that is because Jerry Jones has him as the new Jason Garrett who was supposed to be the next Tom Landry.

Iowa was an OL factory to the NFL during Philbin time under Kirk Ferentz who has ties to Belichick in Cleveland. He also has a very good OL coach track record in the NFL. I am starting to put the pieces together.

 

[quickccc]

Ew.

Not a fan of Philbin, but that comes from his time in Miami.

PS, this should end all talk if Jerry is running the show for hiring asst coaches.

totally agree.

- I dunno if it was the work of Philbin or the other guy in mention Campben, ..but I've been impressed with the way GB had managed to keep their OL glued and still operational
when the injury bug hits ,.. and it was often a top notch pass blocking unit.

- And looking back at GB video clips, it is looking like it is gonna be a ton of positioning, trapping and pulling in both vs pass and run than what was under Columbo.

- and I loved Columbo as an OL coach, (the only assistant I'm regretting being let go) who I thought as one of the better OL coaches in the NFL. But it's a familiarity decision and McCarthy flat out wanted to hit the ground running without a new and learning curve vs Columbo.

- when we played Rodgers we have always had issues getting the needed pass rush heat vs Packers OL. so considering all of this I cannot imagine the OL was poorly coached.

 

[quickccc]

Philbin can teach the Olineman how to hold and get away with it. There is a YouTube video out about the technique he teaches the lineman

so long as it's not another blended version of the poorly advised " high-low' technique that fired ex OL coach Paul Alexander tried to enforce with this OL.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

Is Philbin a zone blocking scheme guy like Frank Verducci and Paul Alexander? or a man up scheme guy like Bill Callahan, Hudson Houck, and Tony Sparano?

 

[Rayman70]

philbin isn't married to any certain scheme. He adjusts depending on the team we are playing. Imagine that A COACH that makes in game adjustments.
