Here is a write up on a prospect that he helped just get invited to the Shrine Bowl....

Gareth Warren/G/Lindenwood
If you’re a small-school prospect participating at the Shrine Bowl, you need to make a positive impression on scouts, and that’s exactly what Warren did Saturday.

Well coached at Lindenwood, Warren blocks with great fundamentals and did a terrific job bending his knees and using his hands. He showed himself to be a terrific position blocker, staying square to out-position defenders from the action.

I'd rather make him just the Running Backs coach and see if he can handle that one first.

Or they make him TE Coach...which he was in 2022 for the Rams. One benefit for a somewhat inexperienced history coaching TE's is that we have Henry who probably doesn't need a lot of coaching and Hooper if he is brought back. Kinda reminds me of when Caley 1st became TE Coach....I think. We'll see.

Teams should be looking at Joe Brady.

He took his name out of HC consideration to remain in Buffalo.

Mick Lombardi was our WR’s and QB coach with McDaniels in 2001
Thought he did a good job with Bourne and Mac
He is with SF as a senior offensive asst
Is a WR coach a promotion
Maybe Josh would want him

Is Marrione a good oline coach?

Is Marrione a good oline coach?

Evan Lazar seems to think so.

Is Marrione a good oline coach?

None of us really know but the guy has spent 1/2 of his 30yr career coaching the o-line specifically. I'll go with a yes.

What I like about Vrabes hires is hes bring in a mix of coaches with a ton of experience (JMcD, TW, Marrone) and others who only have a couple of years under their belt.

Makes sense Donta was Jerod’s boy.

Too bad about High. Oh well.
