So he goes to the NFL and scouts talent. I’d say he has a lot of experience scouting talent.


Is calling Joe Brady and asking who he should hire really scouting talent?

I’m all about trusting the guy who found Brady to make another shot call that will determine his own future as a HC.


Steve Ensminger found Joe Brady.

If guys think your talking them down you don’t keep employees around very long.

No one wants to be QB coach forever.

Well Mangas is his friend. I assume Peetz is too.


We know Mangus is his friend, which skews his view. Mangus sucked total arse as a OC.

Everything Brady does is not gold.

Despite what it may appear like, Brady is not some god and people need to realize he had a 1st round pick at all skill positions but TE. He also had 3 olineman that started as rookies.

He had quite the chess board to work with.

Jake Peetz was known as an up and coming offensive guy with or without Brady. The NFL guys are saying he might get an NFL OC interview with Eagles or a couple other teams

Yet every single one of those guys were on our roster the year before and E didn’t do nearly what Brady did with them. While I get that another year of experience matters idk if it translates into mattering that much. Brady married 2 highly effective offensive concepts, the spread and the RPO (that he learned from 2 guys who are masters of each system), he was flexible enough with it to utilize his talent to greatest capacity, and he had a level of energy and buy in that he brought to it enough for him to go from making $400/yr to being the highest paid Coordinator in football in 1 year. So let’s not act like us “rantards” are the only ones who believe in his abilities.

I know and that was my point. Posters need to stop saying.....well brady recommended him. That means shite.
The fact he was going to be hired previously for OC jobs and is well thought of carries alot more weight imo.

that was my point, not that I didnt like Peetz. Is a big risk though.

If Brady is interested in potentially hiring either or both later on if he becomes a head coach, how will they progress with nowhere to move up inside of his organization? He could send them to another NFL team, but them potentially end up having to compete with them. By recommending them here, they can gain experience at the highest level of college football and can be had again if he moves up.

He could be politely telling Mangas to move on, or maybe he just got him a courtesy interview like Munoz had a couple of weeks ago. But Peetz isn’t getting pawned off on anyone.

didnt say that, but lets not act like he was a god either and only his offense matters. This reminds me of McVay BS that the NFL was doing for a couple years. Its a losing proposition.

from the athletic article

quote:

The 37-year-old Peetz has an interesting bio, which includes a pair of one-year stops at Alabama under Nick Saban and stints on the offensive staffs of Jay Gruden in Washington and his brother Jon Gruden in Oakland. Peetz left the Raiders after the 2017 season to become the Colts’ offensive coordinator before Josh McDaniels backed out of the head-coaching job and stayed in New England.

Peetz’ offseason this year also has been eventful: He was blocked from interviewing with Ron Rivera in Washington, then switched from running backs to quarterbacks after being hired by Matt Rhule.


To me this is a much bigger endorsement. was going to be OC in Indy and then after going to the panthers, they thought enough of him to block him from interviewing with the Redskins.


from another article

quote:

Breer adds that Rivera wanted to take Peetz with him, but Carolina general manager Marty Hurney valued Peetz and the team decided to reward him with a promotion to quarterbacks coach.


also apparently, at least according to saturday down south, when he was at alabama he was known as the RPO guy.

quote:

Peetz was very involved in Nick Saban’s implementation of RPOs to highlight Tua Tagovailoa’s skill set. So Ron Rivera brings a young guy with fresh ideas in,” Breer wrote in a followup to the news of Peetz departure from Alabama.


article from when he was going to Indy

Well these hires are probably O's last chance, if he messes them up and it's a big fail, I would bet his neck is on the block. I can't imagine making a low floor high risk hire if that is the case. Taking a chance on someone who hasn't run his own offense and called plays would be a huge concern for me.

I love this site.

Whenever Brady is mentioned as a coach for any CFB job, LSU fans scream he hates recruiting
But when Brady recommends a guy for LSU who’s never recruited, LSU fans: oh, Winning cures that

This is true. Nobody does.

But he won the LSU staff over with his offensive knowledge.

If he thinks Mangas or Peetz are at a level that warrants LSU's attention, it's worth the interview.

no doubt, my point though was lets stop trying to recreate Brady and just go find the best person for the job period, which is usually indicated by putting up big stats year after year.

Well, if “the job” here is continuing on with the same overall scheme and system, then hiring someone who’s on an upward career trajectory and who already has familiarity with that offense isn’t necessarily trying to recreate Brady.

Im not saying O is, though it kind of seems like that, Im talking more as fans. Every thread about the OC turns into people screaming about going to find the next brady and acting like it is so easy and every NFL analyst has Bradys mind and is coming into the type of talent we had last year.

Who gives a frick what we think? It’s interesting to discuss, but completely meaningless at the end of the day. If you are out to educate tRant, good luck with that.

im friends with my current boss, but I can promise he isnt going to be talking me up to other companies cause he doesnt want to lose me.


If you tell your boss you are looking for advancement (specifically something in line with his job), would he just give you his job or would he support you in finding something elsewhere? Or would he try and talk you out of it for his own personal gain?

Your boss is either one amazing, selfless person or he kind of sucks.
