Assistant Coach Options

[Mr. Scot]

Confirmed now that it wasn't just Magazu and Tolbert: Fox trying to lure former Carolina assistants to Denver

According to two league sources, Fox reached out to at least four of his former assistants Thursday with offers of jobs in Denver: Offensive line coach Dave Magazu, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, linebackers coach Richard Smith and special teams coach Jeff Rodgers.

[Mr. Scot]

FYI: Steve Reed says on his Twiitter that he has a hunch we'll see some assistant hires today.

We'll see how good his hunch is.

[Mr. Scot]

Looks like Harbaugh will go 3-4 in San Francisco. He's keeping Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator.

No big surprise there.

Manusky is Chargers' new defensive coordinator.

So one DC option down.

[Boltergeist]

Cross Donatell off any lists, he's on Harbaugh's staff in SF.

[Mr. Scot]

Donatell was my top choice for DB coach

Cowboys are reportedly trying for Rob Ryan.

[Mr. Scot]

Another non-shock out in San Fran: Former Panthers TE Coach Geep Chryst expected to join the staff of his former pupil (role unknown).

[The Saltman]

Jay gruden is reported that he might be going to Carolina as an offensive asst. Qc?

[Brooklyn Bully]

Meeks to stay with Panthers it seems.

[Cavscout]

I like the Cable idea...

[Mr. Scot]

Nunnely has a good rep, and a previous history with Rivera.

Only downside to him is I think he's primarily a 3-4 guy though.
