Given the racial make up of our team, I wonder how big a 'plus' it is to have an African American coach at this level? Just something I'm curious about - how those players view it or is even a 'thing', or is a coach a coach and it's not a factor at all?
The first 3 are standard OC duties. I suspect we'll hear more about what his other 'Assistant Head Coach' duties will be at the Thursday presser, as well as find out the fate of the current coaching staff. Guessing that's why they are waiting until Thursday to put him in front of the press? You are right burgold, at least in terms of what he was doing in KC, this is a massive expansion of authority (assuming Rivera does actually follow through with letting him run the offense 100% without interference).
I think when an OC comes in, they may not have carte blanche in making assistant coaching decisions (and we don't know if EB will at this point) but I would think that generally they bring in the guys they want to be assistants. So maybe a qualified yes? May depend on the experience level of the OC. It's a good question I can't claim to know the answer to.
So, McCoy's experience was one season with him 3-4 years ago, correct? I think those are slightly concerning comments, but he also may not have the most up to date information.
I posted that because of Mathieu’s response. McCoy certainly appears to have a personal axe to grind. Probably due to his being benched for continual fumbling issues during KC’s previous Super Bowl season.
We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER. If you feel the need to be the first to 'blurt out' the team's picks you are better off staying out of chat and sticking to Twitter. Please refrain from announcing/discussing our picks until the official announcement has been made at the podium. Thanks!
