GOAT9 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Have to think awhile about an OC I think would be right. For DC Crennel would be good. Somebody said Mayo. I would be cool with that as well. Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT9 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Just came to mind but what are Cam Cameron and Wade Philips up to these days? They are both good coordinators. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Has anybody mentioned Aaron Glenn at DC? He’s very well liked & has done a great job with the NO secondary. Lattimore & Marcus Williams are studs. And Eli Apple & Jenoris Jenkins got a lot better in NO. Did a good job with Chauncey Gardner to. Was a great corner himself & said Parcells was his biggest influence as a coach. Big fan of Glenn. DCTitan, and titanskick8851 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys float around Alabama while they’re getting paid out by the team that fired them. In BOB’s case I wonder if he can get paid by Bama and Houston at the same time. I know with butch jones he basically did a free assistanceship for them while UT footed the bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: I knew Belichick and Saban were close, but never realized that Saban was Belichick’s DC with the Browns and also secondary coach for the Oilers before that. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvgJoe Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Give me Downing for OC with BOB off the board tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramis Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Glad BOB is out of the picture. Can’t say he’d be a good fit for what we’re building after the fiasco that went on inside the buildings in Houston this past season. I think promoting an OC from within makes sense. We have an identity and a formula of how we want to play. I think a guy like Downing can take what LaFleur and Smith have done and possibly elevate it to a degree while providing continuity. titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm hoping. Keith Carter would be the second option imo, but Downing stands head and shoulders above the rest of the staff as being qualified.

After - but he was in the Stefanski/Shanahan system with the Vikings as TE coach while LaFleur was here. Aramis, and titanskick8851 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Btw, may want o keep an eye on Bill Callahan as an outside option with him being a zone run fit and with how much Vrabel was raving about being enamored with that Browns run game. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Vrabel poach him. Edited January 12, 2021 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I still have an Oilers Gameday magazine from '88 or '89 with Saban in it. Supposedly, he hated working under Glanville because Jerry didn't believe in discipline and basically wanted his secondary to commit murder. charleytolar, DCTitan, and tgo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
