PACK often Denies Assistants Permission to Interview with Others

They also want the Belichick model, because they've seen it work, and are still sore that Bill and the team got away. Do you think the Kelly-gun II offense will fly in the NFL? The guy on the Browns who probably wants it the most is Trent Richardson, because he will get less beat up. But they seem to be missing a ton of parts to make it happen; might be two-three years before they get there...

Frankly, not sure I know enough to offer a decent opinion. I don't think he is Spurrier or Saban. Spurrier was stubbornly trying to fit his offense into the NFL and did not have the QB for it. He also was hamstrung by Snyder's lapdog GM Cerrato. Saban seemed to be simply biding him time until a new job opened in college.

The best case for Kelly working was here: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...familiar-seems

He will need to tweak some things, to account for his players if not his scheme's suitability in the NFL. And that leads back to the true question: do you let Kelly select his own players? Or does he need a seasoned hand who is willing to get him the "types" he needs? The article mentions (if not then I have read it elsewhere) that Kelly gets by on second tier recruiting classes. So he can make due with less than ideal fits.

I think he has a chance. I think watching Newton, RGIII, Wilson, Rodgers, Young and Kapernick run some kind of read option (or for Young/Rodgers the omnipresent threat of defeating coverage by escaping the pocket) have come to the conclusion that a running-capable QB is not necessarily a soon to be IRd QB. These guys aren't running sneaks or triple options like Tommy Frazier.

Do Asst. coaches get paid if they are let go?

This is a good question.....I'm fairly sure the team will need to honor the two year contract for those who have them. If the contract is not renewed they are jobless.
On the other hand....the scenario that has my doubting this is Jacksonville. Their coach, I think, has only been there a yr and he's on shaky ground. They have told
all of their assistants they have permission to look elsewhere. I think if the coach is canned they have to pay the contracts of the assts out. If a coach is canned they still have to pay the coach what is owed

Unless I read that wrong, you said you doubted your point because of Jax, but your explanation of the situation there supported it?

I'm pretty sure as well that they have to pay the assistants out if they are let go.
