Less money and wont call plays!

 

Also, the relevant portion from that article.:

 

"Gus Bradley

Mike LaFleur and his old buddy Robert Saleh (the two were together with the Jets, and while LaFleur was let go, that wasn’t really Saleh’s doing) were battling over Gus Bradley for about 24 hours—and Bradley chose to go to Tennessee with Saleh, despite a richer financial offer and the opportunity to call plays in Arizona.

 

Bradley’s relationship with Saleh is why. Saleh views Bradley as one of his most important mentors, having learned under him in Seattle on Pete Carroll’s staff, before Bradley brought Saleh with him to Jacksonville after getting his shot there to be a head coach. That the two are reuniting is a nice stroke of luck for Saleh, since Bradley was likely to become Kyle Shanahan’s DC in San Francisco (replacing Saleh), had Raheem Morris not been available.

(And as an aside, the Morris/Shanahan tie is another strong relationship.)

 

So where does LaFleur turn now? He could try and take Aubrey Pleasant off the Rams staff he just left, though I think that may be less likely. One name of interest is Texans secondary coach Dino Vasso, a young rising name who came up under Jim Schwartz.

 

Tennessee Titans

Saleh’s staff, by the way, is loaded with experience, which is much different than the first staff he put together with the Jets. All three of his coordinators—Bradley, Brian Daboll and John Fassel—have long track records as play-callers, and all three have been head coaches (though Fassel’s run was on an interim basis).

 

The thought there is that it should help Saleh get his program off the ground quickly."

I'm excited!  This looks like a real high functioning Front Office and HC group.  Most of these guys I saw are experienced high level franchise coaches.  One thing that really's prominent is the hiring and hiring juxtaposition within this coaching group.  Several teams have new HC/OC or HC/DC that are very interchangeable.  It's not just Bradley and Saleh, there's a lot of them.

 

Once you get in within a system, you do your job and you always have work.

It has to show up in results on the field, but Robert Saleh has hired the best staff of any new HC this offseason. The vast increase in play caller experience from the Callahan Era is incredible. Very very excited about watching this team become competitive again

 

If Borgonzi fills out the roster with the right players coaching is not going to hold this team back.
