To Dave Tepper's credit, he has learned from his past mistakes.

He's leveraging one big advantage he has over almost every other owner, more money, applying it to build the best coaching staff possible.

This is reminiscent of assembling an Olympic team from the best professional superstars available.

Dave's going large.

Can't wait to see what free agency and the draft have in store for us.

I am excited about this staff.  How does this coaching staff compare to the staff Reich put together in Indy...at any time?  Can't imagine it would compare with this.

In Indy: https://www.colts.com/news/indianapolis-colts-finalize-2018-coaching-staff-20394484

Notables:

Jonathan Gannon - Cards HC

Nick Sirriani - Eagles HC

Matt Eberflus - Bears HC

Bubba Ventrone - Highly regarded

Marcus Brady - now w/Eagles - Has been tight with Nick & Frank for a while.  Was one of the first to get the short end of the stick with the whole Irsay meddling.  

Kevin Patullo - now w/Eagles

Had Robert Mathis as a defensive consultant

--

The rest were positional guys that had anywhere from 5-13 years experience, but no well known types

Not even close to the overall experience of this staff.  Seems to have really pulled out all the stops with Tepper's resources.

Why not? Reich was lauded for his prep work on potential staff. Fitterer has not been a part of a single head coach/staff hiring process in his entire career before this year. Same goes for Morgan but at least Morgan is clearly more experienced with NFL coaches.

Again, based on why Reich got the job and the GMs lack of coaching staff hiring/building, it is absolutely valid to downplay their credit with building the staff outside of hiring Reich.

You really don't know what Fitterer has been involved in, or more importantly what he knows. Fitterer is very well-respected across the league, and he's very well-connected. He knows his stuff, and he's likely a driving force behind why Reich and others are here right now.

A portion of Reich's Colt staff was actually assembled by Josh McDaniels. I don't know how large a portion, but I do know DC Matt Eberflus was a McDaniels hire.

He tweaked it during his time there but this time it's all him.

Y'all can give Reich all the credit if you want to. This is a collaboration. Don't downplay Fitterer or Dan Morgan.

Fitterer and Morgan get credit for hiring Reich, but head coaches assemble their own staff.

There are one or two connections from their Seattle days but those could just as easily be coincidental or just guys Reich asked about.

Best i memeber, there were 3 coaches already hired by Indy with full intentions than josh mcdaniels was going to be HC. It was a good rebuttel about wilks not hiring staff and having "sucess"....... frank did too... in a smaller way.

Some impressive names, though. He seems to be able to identify good coaches.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
