Signed by Cowboys Mike Solari new OL coach

[CTcowboy203]

Time for some new blood….here’s your new 70 year old offensive lineman coach!!! I kid I kid I have no idea how he’ll do but not the sexiest pick

 

[StarOfGlory]

He hasn't even gotten here and you're already hating.

No sense in waiting.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Is anyone else concerned that the OL coach was hired BEFORE the OC? Should the new OC be bringing in guys he wants to work with?

Nah, I always worry about Jerry hiring his coordinators before the HC, but this shouldn't be an issue. It's McCarthys team and his decision on who he brings on from top to bottom. Plus with a McCarthy calling plays the new OC that gets brought in is most likely doing more of the grunt work involved with the OC title that McCarthy doesn't have the time for.

Interesting Seattle OLINE improved last year when he left. To be fair they hit on two OTs in the draft.

MM knows that
He plans to fire Solari tomorrow to improve our OL

 

[Clove]

Maybe just maybe MM is in reality the entire offensive coach now, and he’s just putting his guys in as place holders.

 

[Sydla]

Great hire.

LOL.

1988 Star magazine Q&A, with Cowboys Assistant OL Coach Mike Solari

Where do you see yourself in 35 years?

Solari: As an assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys.

CAN we find anyone not with ties to big Mike

Why would you expect McCarthy to do that? Most coaches hire assistants they know.

Umm guess your not familiar with HC and there hiring of people they know and are comfortable with smdh

 

[Zordon]

Coach who was really good like 20 years ago and with ties to Landry. Remind you of anyone?

 

[gimmesix]

At least it isn't Philbin, but this dude looks like he's kind of a dud, too.

He's had success at times, and seems like he's primarily into zone blocking.

He was with the Dallas Cowboys as assistant offensive line coach and special teams coach.

Solari joined the San Francisco 49ers in 1992 as tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach. There he won a Super Bowl ring as a member of 1994 49ers coaching staff.

In 1997, he joined the Kansas City Chiefs as their O-line coach. And for many years, tutored some of the best lineman in the NFL, including Pro Football Hall of Famers Will Shields and Willie Roaf. Upon the retirement of Dick Vermeil and the signing of incumbent OC Al Saunders by Washington, Solari was promoted to Offensive Coordinator in 2006. After the conclusion of the 2007 season, Solari was fired by the Chiefs following a 4-12 season and was replaced by former Georgia Tech head coach and long-time NFL coach Chan Gailey.[1]

Solari joined the Seahawks staff in 2008, he changed its offensive line scheme to more zone blocking.[2]

On January 21, 2010, Solari was named offensive line coach for the San Francisco 49ers.[3]

Solari joined the Packers staff as an offensive line assistant following the 2014 season.[4]

On January 21, 2016, Solari was hired by the New York Giants as offensive line coach.[5]

On January 15, 2018, Solari was rehired by the Seattle Seahawks as their offensive line coach.[6]

Those KC lines back in the day were pretty good. Probably just goes to show that a lot of OL coaches can succeed when they have talented players and fail when they don't.

 

[Carson]

I wonder if he’ll bring anybody… yeah no that never happens

 

[G2]

So the 2nd oldest member.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Noooo...never give up on the Callahan Dream!

 

[nightrain]

Gawd, I don't get it. A dude that was coaching under Landry? Gee, the knock on him in Seattle was the OL didn't protect Wilson well enough. What could go wrong in Dallas?

 

[CowboyChris]

probably signed for a ham sandwich and chips

 

[cowboyec]

good.
love seeing a landry asst back on the sidelines.

 

[Stash]

I wanted them to hire Solari back in 2018. Garrett chose Paul Alexander instead.

they all do it.

I wanted them to hire Solari back in 2018. Garrett chose Paul Alexander instead.

eventually they fired him(alexander) and brought in colombo.
