Signed by Cowboys Mike Solari new OL coach

[bayeslife]

Positional coaches are incredibly overrated. Seattle didn’t get talented blockers until after he left so there you go

 

[khiladi]

Wade wanted him over Houck when Garrett was here.

Like with all coaches they do better the more talent they have and vice versa.

I just posted about this. I believe I heard from a reporter (Mickey Spagnola? Or perhaps David Moore?) on the Ticket radio station in Dallas that the Cowboys wanted Solari as well but he got/took a larger offer before the interview with Dallas. From what I seem to remember their was a handshake deal in place but money talks so he took the better offer and Dallas got stuck with Coach Ketchup…..

No, that’s not accurate. Jason Garrett chose to hire Paul Alexander over Mike Solari.

Just to be clear, when many of us were asking to get a coaching from the niners we were talking about this century

 

[mardwin]

Wasn't it Seattle one of the wors OL in football most got Russell Wilson killed, and then last year had to draft a bunch of players and this guy was let go?

 

[AsthmaField]

When Solari was with KC and SF he was pretty widely considered to be one of the very best OL coaches in the league.

It is a really good hire, unlike everyone else they’ve had since Callahan.

Big step up from Philbin.

You have to be ready to the McCarthy sell.

“he watched every snap of every game last season” blah blah blah

"Listen here Mike... I know you got a good thing going here. No boss. No responsibility. Nice couch! ...and SURE you were laughed outta the league for having one of the worst OL in the league for the last 3 or 4 years!!! I GET THAT. But darn it, we NEED you!! We got some young guys showing promise and who's going to screw that up? Who?" McCarthy pleaded.

"Besides, everyone just blames Dak anyway. It's a sweet gig!"

 

[CowboyChris]

he won me over when he asked what do cows drink!

 

[links18]

Name sounds familiar.

 

[maryquality]

He was a coach under Landry?? Interesting.

[csirl]

We finished last in the league in '88 and destroyed two QBs with poor blocking (White and Pelleur).

 

[Staubacher]

He's from the Landry coaching tree. It has lots of rings.

 

[MikeT22]

Way to think outside the box. I mean, I didn’t realize Solari was still alive.

 

[quickccc]

In all fairness. Seattle did have a pretty dominant run game in those years. But man Mike Munchak was there for the taking.

which tells me that Solari has to be more to do with the Zone scheme .....munchak and columbo are power scheme type OL coaches ..

 

[big dog cowboy]

He was terrible in Seattle

Based on???

 

[big dog cowboy]

Wade wanted him over Houck when Garrett was here.

There's some knowledge.

Boom!

 

[Clove]

MM will be designing and calling plays. The guy is there in name alone.

 

[rambo2]

CAN we find anyone not with ties to big Mike

Is there something wrong with Mike?
