I'm not surprised. I've been expecting all of the rest of these guys to be seeking new jobs. How many are left now? 2? 3?

4 previous ‘23 offensive coaches remaining right now.
TE coach Clancy Barone, asst OL coach Jahri Evans, offensive assistant Jordan Traylor, and offensive assistant Kevin Petry.

Barone has position coach ties to Klint’s dad Gary Kubiak when Gary was Broncos HC so he could stay. Hopefully Jahri stays on the staff.

I hope they can keep Barone and get him a real TE to coach. He's coached some of the greats. He also once worked for Gary Kubiak in Denver so there is a connection to the Kubiaks.

Barone worked with All-Pro players Alge Crumpler (Falcons) and Antonio Gates (Chargers), and Julius Thomas (Broncos) all of whom made multiple Pro Bowl appearances under his guidance. Kyle Rudolph (Vikings) also was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 2017 season. This feat marked the first time in NFL history that a tight ends coach had four players selected to Pro Bowls with four teams.

Good, I hope every single offensive coach is gone.

I think this bodes well in terms of the commitment we have with Kubiak. He’s got coaches he wants to bring on and we’re getting ready to make those hires after Sunday.

Good for him.

We need to start from scratch with new OC and his staff.

You'd think that a son of Doug Williams would know better than to go the Falcons.

Hate he went to Atlanta but a move up in the league is a move up.

Not sure that I would consider "assistant QB coach" a move up. It sounds like a similar position to what he had here with a different title. Have we even had an "assistant QB coach?"

 

[Saint Greg]

Glad it sounds like we’re going to let Kubiak hire his own staff instead of forcing our existing coaches on him.

TIL that Doug Williams’ son was a Saints coach
