And he felt like this wasn't news worthy?

Apparently. He just hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Anyone want to say what the odds are of it being an observer article within 24 hours?

Person is such a lazy, incompetent hack of a journalist.

Almost as if they know 2014 will be a disaster offensively.

[Boltergeist]

Is there any reason you know of that he's never been a coordinator?

 

Mike Martz stayed on as OC after replacing Vermeil. Ramsdell joined the Charger staff after Shelmon was named OC (which become just a title when Norv came in)

Guy has a deep, deep, deep background in Coryell offensive philosophy.

 

A while back, Peter King mentioned him as a possible option for OC here.  mentioned he's got a very solid record working with young quarterbacks.

 

It's funny you should mention the Coryell system. Can we really say that was our philosophy last year? It was so conservative, so west coast. When Rivera and Chud first got here, we kept on hearing how we were going to get yards in bug chunks -- and we did. Let's see how the offense clicks this year. A lot of that will be dictated by the talent on the field.

Or just in-case Shula is fired mid-season.

Person is alerted by various huddlers on twitter.

11 minutes later he tweets the info as if he is reporting it.

Claims he knew two weeks ago.

Lol Person be trollin

I don't want to be rude to Joe, but this is his job...someone has to call him out on it.

[Zod]

I don't care about tweets. These guys aren't paid to sit on Twitter. A blog post would have been nice though.

it was definitely our philosophy.  Remember, the offensive scheme doesn't mean it's going to be exactly what Martz did.  Dan Henning was Coryell - well, that was an extreme example, but Norv is Coryell, and Norv was conservative.  You have the playbook, the philosophy, the terminology, but you call the plays you call.  The QB still has to pull the trigger on the deep route that gets called. 

 

You could definitely say Shula is different from Chud, but the second half of '12 Chud wasn't exactly the guy he was v/s Green Bay/AZ in '11, either. Difference between late '12 and most of '13 is there were fewer really weird tricks, like the statue of liberty type stuff. 

 

 

 

Honestly, I think people have this misnomer that because it's not what they want, it's not what Rivera wants.  He certainly seems to want a conservative offense now that he has a good defense.  Maybe he wanted the deep ball every second down in his own territory when it didn't matter if the D was gassed.
