Possible Assistant Options

[Mr. Scot]

So who might we look at if, as hoped, this offseason sees some turnover on the coaching staff?

 

Some possibilities (with varying levels of availability)

 

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR

 

Ken Zampese - Quarterback Coach, Cincinnati Bengals (would require permission)

Rick Dennison - Quarterback Coach, Baltimore Ravens (would need permission and could mean changing systems)

Greg Roman - Offensive Coordinator, San Francisco 49ers (likely system change; not that big a fan, honestly)

Marty Mornhinweg - Offensive Coordinator, New York Jets (would mean switching to WCO)

Bill Callahan - Offensive Line Coach, Dallas Cowboys (older, hasn't done well of late)

 

 

SPECIAL TEAMS COACH

 

Bruce DeHaven - Assistant Special Teams Coach, Carolina Panthers (the easy option)

Brad Seely - Special Teams Coach, San Francisco 49ers (Niners next coach may want to keep him)

Bobby April - Special Teams Coach, Raiders (Raiders probably want to keep him)

Joe DeCamillis - Special Teams Coach, Chicago Bears (could be in high demand)

 

 

QUARTERBACK COACH

 

John Ramsdell - Offensive Assistant, Carolina Panthers (again, the easy choice, if he wants the job)

Geep Chryst - Quarterback Coach, San Francisco 49ers (spent several years coaching here, could also be an OC candidate)

Matt Cavanaugh - Quarterback Coach, Chicago Bears (being looked at for the Browns OC job)

Dowell Logains - Quarterback Coach, Cleveland Browns (not all that experienced)

Special Teams would seem to be the one that would get the Can. ST has been terrible this year.

 

 

Might should put up some DC Options too if McD gets taken from us. I mean its possible right?

[UNCrules2187]

Kyle Shanahan is a free agent OC with experience with mobile QBs. Would be my #1 option personally.

[JawnyBlaze]

I'm not even sure who I'd want from that list.  Maybe Dennison?  I don't know much about him, but from what's been said about him here he'd be a huge upgrade (of course, so would 50% of Huddlers).  The other two I have no opinion or knowledge about.

I hear this guy named Rob Chudzinski had some success with Cam once...

[Mr. Scot]

Shanahan right now is looking at HC options or maybe a package deal somewhere with his dad.

 

It's possible, but seems highly unlikely.

Oh hell no.

 

If we're gonna take from the Colts, I'd go after Clyde Christensen.

[Herbert is Sorry]

I just want us to get a good QB coach and a good kick/punt returner

[UNCrules2187]

It's possible, but seems highly unlikely.

 

 

I don't think he gets hired as a HC this offseason personally. If the Elder Shanahan comes back, then yeah I can see him going with him. I could also see him wanting to develop his own offense away from his father however.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Zampese for OC- he grew up in the Coryell family and there isn't a doubt in my mind that he could get Cam looking like his old self from his rookie year. I still can't believe we hired Jeff Davidson over this guy.

DeCamillis for ST (DeHaven stays the assistant)- one of the best in the business, nothing else to say.

Ramsdell for QB- The guy has worked with Phillip Rivers, Kurt Warner, and he even made Marc Bulger into a serviceable starter. Easy choice.

I'd definitely look at him, and Gettleman used to work with Mike, so who knows?

I wouldn't argue with any of those choices.

I would hurt something if we hired Marty Mornhinweg.

[UNCrules2187]

This is all moot since we know Rivera is just going to stay the course with his guys

[rayzor]

i don't want to switch to a WCO. way too complicated to learn....esp. from a verbiage standpoint. it's ridiculous. not a knock on cam, btw. i think he's bright. i just don't want complicated.

 

i would like for ramsdell to play a larger role. expanding his role to QB coach and having him work on the whole passing game would be great. i don't know about him for OC, but he could help a lot with the passing game and taking cam to another level.

 

dehaven as ST coach should be a no brainer.

 

aside from him, though, i'm not really excited about any of those options.

[Mr. Scot]

Also, to be clear, I'd be okay with changes at OL Coach too, but I don't think there will be any.

 

Heck, there may not be any changes at all, but if there are, these seem to be the more likely ones.
