Tepper fired the Head Coach, RB/Assistant HC, and QB Coach…the same day.  

…11 games into their first season.

There was something going on besides Bryce’s performance.  Why not the OC at that point?

At that point you just need people to run practice. It was the reason Raheem morris wasn’t fired in Tampa bay years ago.

Tepper fired the HC. Tabor fired the rest when he was interim. I read it was because they were all going behind each other’s backs. Who knows the truth? Brown was left because there was no one left to call plays. I believe those were all Frank Reich guys too? I could be wrong.

Agreed but those 3 must have had some sort of shared disagreement with those that remained (Tabor, Campen, Brown).

Now they’re all gone, complete reset.

Apparently former player Daren Bates is going to join the coaching staff in some capacity. Was an assistant (low level) with the ST in Seattle last season I believe

It was confirmed by Brown's wife on social media (she later deleted) that someone had to remain on the offensive staff to finish out the season and that  Thomas, in fact, was already fired.  Call it a deferred firing, if you will.

Before I went into work I was watching his twitter. Apparently he is in Charlotte and in the facility, I saw him messing with people about the Ping-pong tables and such.  Wouldn't surprise me if he does infact land a gig here though.  I guess we can chalk it as speculation at this point.

I've watched bits and pieces of the podcast he co-hosts.

The rest of the staff. I believe Nathan Carroll is Pete Carrolls son.

Campen was reported to be one of the guys running to Tepper. It's also believed that Tabor was one, but no names have ever been confirmed from internal sources. Campen was mentioned by someone outside the team, though.

Brown wasn't. They'd never met.

He was reportedly added after an outside suggestion (possibly Tepper).

Was about to say the same thing.

A number of the guys on the offensive side are fairly or relatively new to their positions. McPherson has a lot of experience.
