PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots Hire Adrian Klemm as Offensive Line Coach

[Hyped]

+5 vocab points on that one. And points as well to @jlu52 for getting it. [I had to look it up]

Oh, and very excited about this hire!

Some quackery for sure….

 

[Ivan]

I’m fine with this move, Scar wouldn’t endorse him if he didn’t have what it takes to be a good OL coach. Bottom line is that they had to upgrade their coaching staff, and they are spending to get that done. If they can make the right moves in free agency and the draft they should be in the playoffs next season.

So where are all the people say that the plan all a long was to hire Klemm. They had a handshake agreement last year but he didn't want to join the staff until the following year and Matt Patricia was a placeholder OL coach until they could bring Klemm in.

See how nuts that sounds when BoB isn't the guy you're talking about?

As a Brit, I am always struck by the way that U.S. sports teams have to have an official nickname. It's OK when it's a fierce animal (lions, wolverines, alligators) but ... ducks?

Oh you had to go there bringing the ITALIAN part out describing that Gidrul lol

 

[notex]

Sounds like Klemm really impressed. Would love to see them add 1-2 more assistants, seems we've been running a bit light on offensive staff last few years.

OMG, I just checked. Patricia is only 5'6". Mind. Blown.

Edit: He apparently shrunk 5 inches since high school.View attachment 49787

High School programs ALWAYS exaggerate height and weight of the players. I was one of them. My coaches didn't like the weight I was so they added 20 pounds to the program. I didn't complain. Lol.

Doing a quick Google search will show many sites saying he's 5'6". He's a little guy.

 

[Sect140]

More good news. Liking the efforts to fix the offensive staff. Im only concerned that its looking like cam achord will be back for another year of st breakdowns

I wondering if Bill will be spending a lot of time on Special Teams this year.

I haven't been following the offseason gossip/reporting as much as I used to. Has there been a report about Judge's role for next year and that he won't be back at ST's?

 

[Patsgofor4]

If he got a raise from his Oregon salary, he’ll be making over 1m, so he must have been their clear #1 choice for the job.

 

[Real fan 02]

I’m thinking or hoping BoB will be able to help Troy become a better coach.

Hard to say how good or not Troy brown really is.. the offense was just so bad all around it's hard to say... however I'm sure this upcoming season we'll have a much better idea.. I'm sure Troy isn't coaching alghlor to drop passes and not fight for the ball..

apparently, you have never seen an angry duck?

Not true. I live by a stream. EDIT: Now if you'd have said "swans". They are genuinely scary mothers.

Isn't British football full of Magpies and Swans and Canaries and stuff like that?

True, but those are unofficial. Most of the official names are very conventional (United, City) though there is the odd weird one (Sheffield Wednesday?)

Against 2 of the better teams against the Run, they did crap last year. Utah, and Georgia. Pac 12 not a Powerhouse too. Why a Run Specialists, in a Passing League too?

Klemm came to a mutual agreement with the Steelers to move on.

 

[Urgent]

Love it.
Young OL coach, played for Dante, has OL coaching experience, has Patriots system experience.
Hope he lasts as long as Dante.
Big upgrade.

 

[Urgent]

Patricia is only 5'6"?

Jesus. Hes as round as he is tall. El Rotundo.

Picture of him talking to Edelman from a few seasons ago.

 

[Crazy World of Troy Brown]

Mutual understanding to move on. What NFL team just lets you leave, if they have a Very good Young Coach? Teams don't let value like that leave.

 

[Triumph]

people: GO GET AN ACTUAL OL COACH

Belichick goes and gets one

people: NO NOT HIM

beggars can't be choosers

It is a gamble.

Klemms only Senior pro OL job ended with him packing his bags before the season ended.
