Bill O'Brien to be the next OC?

[venecol]

I think he will be an excellent choice to continue to work with Mac as he goes through his sophomore year.

Who? The trans OC?

No Gase. Please.

Agreed. If it's not going to be O'Brien, pick someone younger who's up and coming. It's weird too because Gase is being talked about as this veteran OC, but he only had three years as one before becoming Miami's head coach, and two of those years he had Manning (who basically calls his own plays at the line anyway). The one year in Chicago was... oof. If I remember right, he spent this past season as the OC for a high school team that went 4-5.

I'm all the way out on Gase as well.

NO GASE...

He would not be helping Mac grow...

Crucial Reference Helped Adam Gase Land Jets Job: Peyton Manning (Published 2019)

After a mixed performance over three years in Miami, Gase asked Manning to put in a good word with the Jets. It worked.

Geez, just when I thought I really hated Peyton Manning, I find out he punked the Jets like that and now I don't know what to think!

Pep Hamilton​

Houston Texans QB Coach & Passing Game Coordinator​

Alfonza “Pep” Hamilton is a name who has flown under the radar as it relates to offensive coordinator opportunities. His last legit shot came in 2013 when he coached Andrew Luck in Indianapolis; since then, Hamilton has jumped around, going from the Browns to the University of Michigan to the XFL’s DC Defenders before landing back in the NFL as quarterbacks coach for the Los Angeles Chargers for the 2020 season.

Enter Justin Herbert, a young franchise QB any offensive mind would be crazy not to want to work with.

Hamilton would help Herbert win the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award last season, break the league’s rookie passing TD record, and finish No. 2 in passing yards by a rookie in NFL history. After the 2020 campaign, Pep left Los Angeles for Houston to serve in the same position.

The Texans infamously dealt with multiple levels of turmoil dating back to last offseason and face ongoing questions at quarterback. Hamilton did manage to coach Davis Mills to the second-best completion percentage among rookie quarterbacks, the second-most passing touchdowns, and tied for the fewest interceptions among rookie QBs with a minimum of 12 starts, however.

Minority NFL Head Coaching Candidates to Watch

From a pair of Bucs assistants to the surprisingly available Brian Flores to the great Eric Bieniemy, keeping track of the top Black head coaching candidates in the NFL whose names you need to know.

Houston wants to keep Pep as OC would love to poach him though.

Yea, recent experience with rookies Herbert and Mills, both of which did pretty well. He's black too, so should last at least 3 years with Mac to give him continuity with coaching.
