Position coaches don't garner much attention from fans when changes are made in the offseason. I remember last spring as some of these changes were made, commenting that these were significantly less successful/experienced replacements. Looking at the coaching staff roster closer...it's so bad, especially on offense.
HC - Dennis Allen: His record as a HC says it all. No need to elaborate. Grade: F-
Offense
OC - Pete: A Great Value Sean Payton. It's arguable that Payton is becoming obsolete so his Assistant to the Regional Manager lacky Pete has to be the worst OC in the league. Grade: F -
Passing Game: Curry: Maybe this dude is great. Maybe not. Hard to know. He has zero NFL experience outside the Saints. Usually young guys bounce a lot if they're in demand. Grade: Incomplete
OL - Marrone: On paper, this isn't a bad coach for this role. But Marrone is extremely abrasive and bounces around a lot. Maybe he's lost his fire and the guys are tuning him out. Whatever the case, the OL is a dumpster fire. Grade: D (maybe worse but I'm giving him a letter grade bump based on past success)
RB - Joel Thomas: Who? Honestly, know nothing about him. He's never coached outside the Saints in the NFL. Our RBs don't seem great but I mean how much does coaching contribute to that. I'd say it's more on the OL. Grade: Incomplete
WR - Kodi Burns: Another dude who has never coached offense in the NFL anywhere but here. Maybe he's good but I doubt he's close to Curtis Johnson or John Morton. Grade: Incomplete
TEs - Clancy Barone - Old dude who was out of the league after being canned by the Bears until his buddy Allen resurrected his corpse. Grade: F
I'm not bothering with the offensive "assistants."
That staff is terrible. You have Pete, Marrone and Barone and a bunch of dudes with no experience outside the Saints. So a couple of old guys and dudes who have learned from them. Great.
