Is that you Adam Shiff??
This is one of those “it sounded better in my head” moments.
I do feel like the Todd Monken hire will be a 1-2 year rental, but that’s fine because guys like him are a dime a dozen. The bigger point is that Kirby has finally accepted the fact that we need to join the modern offenses and recruit QBs that can make things happen when the play brakes down. His off-season moves have been second to none in that regard.
I think this is a great hire. It certainly looks as good on paper as the Brian Schottenheimer hire did at the time. Hopefully Monken will be OC and QB coach. I’m still worried if Coley is still coaching QBs.
Yes, you and many others. Kirby is anything but stubborn and is relentlessly trying to do whatever it takes to improve our program. As fans you can't ask for more.
Schotty is an awful OC to this day in the pros...
Where are all of the tight end aficionados to blast this hire? Monken’s TEs only caught 6 passes in 2011, and 36 in 2012. Clearly, this hire is already doomed to fail, right? /s
@corai3. The Cleveland Browns had the 22nd ranked scoring offense in the NFL in 2019. Everyone here seems pretty happy with the hire.
For comparison purposes, don’t you think If we hired the OC whose team produced the 6th most points in the NFC and 9th in the NFL, we would be doing backflips of joy? Probably, except not in this instance since his name would be Brian Schottenheimer.
Nobody disputes the Dawgs offense struggled in 2015, but it is uninformed and very biased to say he is a bad OC. That team had a new QB, lost Chubb to injury, and returned a WR corps that returned a whopping 18 total receptions from the previous year. Pretty stacked deck working against Schotty.
Monkon didn't call the plays for the Browns. Freddie Kitchens did.
The Seahawks offense doesn't even utilize its best player, Russell Wilson, the way they should. They are too busy feeding terrible running backs. If you aren't utilizing your best players then idk what to do with that.
Monken didn't call plays at Cleveland. More relevant to look at his time at Tampa Bay.
Together with Matt Luke and Newman at QB, Kirby is bringing in a lot of offensive coaching fire power. Wow. I’m surprised but excited at the same time. Kind of like when my wife does her thing.
It's pretty hard to be an OC and coach QBs at the same time from what I've heard. Monken has a long track record as a WR coach so that's where I'm going to lean. OC and WRs coach
Our best OC ever did it. Mike Bobo.
I guess that means we will lose Cooley? It's kind of hard to see him staying on staff with a demotion. I can't remember that ever happening. It's too bad to because the jury is still out with him IMO. Feel like he got dealt some bad cards in last years poker season.
