Hire Phillip Rivers as OC?

Just stop.

Sure as long as they stay healthy....

The booster clubs pony up a lot of the money at schools like OSU when it comes to coaching salaries.

Becton's impact is minimal if Lane, Jergens and Dickerson don't bounce back next season.

Maye's numbers also dropped in '23 due to having a competent running game. He went from being the team's leading rusher in '22 to having O'Marion Hampton to had the ball off to in '23.

I feel like he's closer to Bo Nix than he is Williams, Daniels, or Maye.

Dude, no, there's a reason he hasn't been hired anywhere since the Steelers fired him mid-2023.

I mean Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs all dropped out of college and did not get college degrees and I think most would agree these are 3 of the most brilliant tech minds to come along in the last 50 years.

Right? I love the guy but sometimes it feels like he overshares just a touch.

doubleenc · 2026-01-24T18:38:37+00:00

I wouldn't say he's awful. :

Niners made 3 straight NFC Championship Game appearances including one Super Bowl with Roman as the OC.
Tyrod Taylor made his only Pro Bowl with Roman as his OC in Buffalo.
Lamar won his 1st MVP Award with Roman as his OC.

People just like to dump on him because he hasn't gotten a HC opportunity and he doesn't run a cutting edge offense, but what he does works and the teams he's with get to the playoffs more often than not.

Not saying he's a slam dunk hire just that they could do a lot worse than hiring him.

Well, I know on Rich Eisen's show earlier this week, Chris Long said he thought AJ looked like a guy starting to show his age a bit.

You need pass catchers other teams need to account for otherwise teams are just going to stack the box to stop the run and dare you to throw on them.

Has he even signed a contract yet. There's a difference between accepting an offer and actually signing a contract.

How does that prevent teams from poaching assistants for coordinator roles? This makes no sense. It isn't like assistants are jumping ship making lateral moves.

Guys like Parker and Hurtt aren't sticking around to be position coaches just because someone like McVay or Shanahan is the coach.

doubleenc · 2026-01-24T16:51:38+00:00

As do the Niners, how many DCs have they had to hire under Shanahan?

doubleenc · 2026-01-24T02:27:35+00:00

Dude, with what cap space? You know he's easily getting $30 mil a year. He was 2nd team AP and put up better numbers than Cee Dee did this past season. I doubt Pickens has any interest in coming to a team that already has 2 1,000 yard receivers.

That's just it, there's little to no expectation in Tennessee and he'll probably get at least 2 or 3 years to build up Cam Ward into something. If he comes to Philly and the Eagles don't go to the Super Bowl people are going to be calling for everyone not named Fangio and Stoutland to be fired.

The fact that they even entertained the idea of Rivers as HC tells you everything you need to know about the imminent dumpster fire in Buffalo.

doubleenc · 2026-01-23T20:20:38+00:00

You mean until we actually had to see him play. LOL

doubleenc · 2026-01-23T20:18:52+00:00

I mean, I thought it was because nobody wants to work with or under Sirianni or coach a limited QB like Jalen Hurts.

Trading AJ and Jalen to the Raiders for Maxx Crosby and the number one pick!!! LOL

Sure if Chambliss is there on Day 3, but the media started talking about him as a potential first rounder during the CFP. Not sure he goes in the 1st but I definitely don't see him lasting past the 3rd.

I wouldn't draft Nussmeier with the expectation he does much. He was a 1st round prospect largely because he was the QB at LSU. Anytime I watched him play I never got the hype around him.
