Pats coaching role updates

Mike Pellegrino CB coach

Fortunately not many surprises.

Even Joe Judge expanding his responsibilities on his way to climb the ladder farther up towards HC was talked about.

Seems like a fine group. Maybe the hysteria was premature.

So it looks like Popovich didn’t get a promotion to a different position group after all. They added a new assistant with an OL background, so they might just give Scarnecchia two assistants this year. That would make sense if it helps keep him around for a few extra years.

That's never happened around here before...

Interesting that there are separate ILB and OLB coaches. I wonder how that distinction is defined by the team, since I really see the LBs as one group.

It'll be interesting to see who is wearing a red top on game days.

Plus Scar can be a roaming instructor just like BB. Free him up and help out where needed.

Christ, collectively he and BB have almost a century of football experience. Crazy

i hope mayo hangs around for awhile.

If Steve has the safeties isn’t mikes group bestcalled CBs instead of DBs?

So is BB calling the shots now on D or Bielema going to get a look during training camp?
Mayo may not be ready though he had the dotted helmet back in the day, yes? His time will come.

I think this is a bit nuanced and is different from organization to organization.

My understanding is BB dictates to the OC/DC what he wants to see in the game plan for the next week. The OC/DC come up with the plan, packages, etc with input from the other coaches and then present it to BB for approval. Then the OC/DC install it in practice and they tweak it throughout the week.

The gameday playcalling is typically done by the OC/DC and BB will overrule or tell the OC/DC what to do.

As it pertains to 2019, BB might do more DC gameplanning and more playcalling/overruling than say when RAC or Fat Matt were here but I fully expect someone experienced in gamedays like Bielema to call the plays.

It would seem the rise of Steve Belichick was premature. Pellegrino appears to have the DBs with Steve an assistant for Safety.

At one point an assistant was hired for Scar:

Report: Patriots to hire assistant offensive line coach from Youngstown State

Was Carmen Bricillo released already?

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Oh and of course my influence is overlooked... Again...

Hadn't heard that. My assumption was he is a assistant position coach so not sure they would even announce it

The more assistants that looks over what Scar does the better. Don't wanna repeat the Daboll situation of 2013 where you have someone shadow Scar for a year only to move him to another position a year later.

I just hope BB doesn't spread him to thin.

Belichick.
