Pretty interesting - Monken is one of the rare NFL OCs who coached a pure Air Raid system in college, at Oklahoma State. Baker Mayfield of course played in another Air Raid variant. They can talk about 95 Y-Cross

I was really looking forward to a half dozen Read This Be Smarter threads with 4 comments about the Air Raid. Now I'll just have to sob myself to sleep in my Official Mike Leach Pirate hat.

#Browns coach Freddie Kitchen says he’ll call plays, but OC Todd Monken decided on Cleveland (over offers from others) “based on people.” And it did sound like Monken thoroughly enjoyed his meeting Sunday.

From @markcraignfl and me: Mike Priefer will not be returning as the Vikings’ special teams coordinator in 2019.

So Duke Nuke 'Em is available to make your FG kicker ultra-unreliable.

Mike Priefer tells me he has agreed to join the #Browns as special teams coordinator. The #Vikings offered him a contract. #Lions and #Falcons also interviewed him and several other teams showed interest, but he’s headed to Cleveland and excited.

So Cleveland is the hot place to be these days, huh?

Wow.

And still crickets from Packerland regarding an offensive coordinator, a special teams coach, and most other assistants. Sheesh.

Tom Rossely may still be available.

Simmons could take the ST job if he wants to go that route, unless he's taking over for Whitt. He seemed to be an up and coming guy when I talked to him in 2015.

I want Bob Schnelker.* Run the WR reverse!








*Aw shit, Cleveland got him first (drafted him) and he' buried there...

Mike Munchak is taking the O line job in Denver.

Shaun Sarrett is the O line coach in Pittsburgh.

Gary Kubiak and his son get jobs on Vikings staff

I get the motivation of the father, but why do organizations indulge them?

Not sure but pretty happy to have Kubiak on the staff.


edit: That's a mighty large carrot to get a guy to join the staff.

If he isn't OC, what is his job? And doesn't that make the current OC concerned?

Hard to say PB.....could result in a Norv Turner like storming out as a worst case scenario.....best case is a collaboration ...only reason I have some hope is Kubiak dropped out of the game due to health reasons so may very well not be locked on to moving up up up.

Last year Fangio decided on da Bears over GB
This year the Monkey probably picked the Browns over GB

What is next ?

So does LeFleur have ANY assistant coach hires yet?

Is he the nerdy fifth-grade kid who can't get anyone to be on his dodgeball team?

It certainly seems that way. Dan Patrick, and I know it's counter homer to actually give a reporter credibility with his views......noted in regards to the Packers....he didn't think LaFleaur was that deep with experience in the coaching circles to know a ton of stars as assistants and it might be challenging to get the top line ones.....partly because of an inexperienced HC, partly because of questions with Rodgers, and the structure here.

He contantly points out that he might be completely wrong, but he doesn't get our hire.
