Offensive Line Coaches

I think a wild card win for Packers come sunday would secure Slocum, as that's the only way Stubby can save his buddy. TT want results and Stubby needs to show more if Stubby wants to keep his group of coaches/buddies. Capers is a TT hire.

Capers was certainly not a TT hire. MM's first choice it seemed was Nolan, then Williams. If TT made the hire why did they first try to land MM's buddy Nolan?

Jim Haslett as well.

What is your opinion of Alex Gibbs. he seems to make a great running game everywhere he lands. Is that bad of a cancer that he keeps becoming available?

Tony Sparano would be an interesting one if he gets fired. He might be interested in learning the passing game from MM and MM would be interested in having someone who he can really trust with the OL/run game. That's if Sparano gets fired of course.

He has retired more often than Brett. Not sure what the story is there. But he used to be tied to the even smaller lineman school of thought. I have thought the older Packer tackles have been the biggest obstacle to running the scheme. But with the injuries and Bulaga's lack of camp time at RT, its hard to tell if he would fix anything yet. I suspect he would. Gibbs is definitely more accomplished, but he may not cotton the the hybrid scheme M3 is using now. He would like the FBs though.

Jags has got a screw or two lose.

Thanks, Vince. Looking at the video it sure seems that Greg made a mistake by not continuing to come back to the ball. You can see what Aaron saw and it looked good when he let it go.

looks to me like greg was thinking long pass and Rodgers was thinking short. both looked to be open.

Well since I helped veer us off, here is something back on topic: Mike Solari, Offensive Line Coach San Francisco 49ers.

Singletary is gone, but we don't know the state of his coaches. Solari has ties back to Bob McKittrick, at one time the most hated offensive line coach in the league because he taught his lineman to cut block. McKittrick was an assistant like Dick LeBeau at Pittsburgh, so revered the team vowed to never let him leave so he survived multiple coaches over his tenure. My memory is not good enough to remember if rules have changed but I think they are basically the same as when McKittrick would have ruled the roost. Solari took what he learned as TE/Asst Line Coach in San Fran (92-96) to Kansas City (97-06) where he worked with a pretty good group of lineman and produced some good running games. He also worked a year as O Coordinator.

He would have experience with the West Coast offense (under Seifert with Shanahan and Marc Trestman as his OCs). He had additional experience with a slightly different variation of the West Coast Offense with the Kansas City Chiefs starting in 1997. You probably can guess that means he worked with Schottenheimer, but he also ran into Mike McCarthy (QB Coach), Paul Hackett (OC), Al Saunders (AsstHC/Receivers) and Russ Ball (Administrative Asst. to HC).

Read a positive spin on his resume with some good details here: http://www.ninersnation.com/2010/1/2...lari-offensive
