Just curious

[ladypanther]

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.

[DeeJay]

Wonder if Tepper told him anything you want all yours

[TNPanther]

Tepper whipped out his brass balls and fat checkbook and handed both to Frank.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

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.

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.

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

[Bear Hands]

So it seems Reich has an eye for guys with NFL futures but this time, stepped out of his wheelhouse to get some more assistants and consultants.  Seems he's learned some lessons and is building on that.

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.

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.

[CamWhoaaCam]

Yall know way too much about these coaches. I love football but I don't follow the league like that.

 

I couldn't name you all the NFL head coaches let alone their assistant coaches lol

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.

Frank just hire some west-side barrel guru as strength coach and be done with it!!!
