Ronald Curry won’t return to Saints staff (Buffalo Bills hiring Ronald Curry as QB coach) (1 Viewer)

That's not much more than a title.

You are just full of bad takes aren't you.

As a Tar Heel basketball fan, I hate to see him go. Watching him and Julius Peppers come off the bench for those stacked teams was wild.

It depends. The Texans did accomplish it quickly and can be a case study to compare how close we are to doing the same. I checked their entire staff for Shanahan connections, see below. Players: We know they had the elite intelligent QB required. But what about their O-line, did they already have a group of athletic olineman that had experience in the system? I checked their roster and found the below. Im not sure about their WR if they are elite blockers or have Shanahan/McVay exp or their Tes and RB. But judging by the list below, it seems apparent that we need multiple coaches w/ Shanhan system exp. Im not sure if we have any current players from that tree. So to answer the OPs question, we seem pretty far away. Feel free to add players to the list below

TEXANS coaches familiar w/ the Shanahan system:
HC Demeco Ryans
OC Bobby Slowik
QB coach Jerrod Johnson
SR Offense Asst Shane Day

OLINE w/ Shanahan McVay Exp:
George Fant (OG) Jets (Salah)
Michael Deiter (C/G) Miami (Mike Mac)
Dieter Eiselen (G) Chicago (Matt Eberflus/McVay)

I think it's ultimately better for Curry to get out of the building to build his resume more. And Buffalo is a really good steppingstone to an OC position down the road that he likely wouldn't have gotten by staying with the Saints.

I hope it works out for Curry, but I still remember the last time Brady tried to create and implement his own offense as an OC and it wasn't pretty in Carolina. He did a great job calling plays for half the year in Buffalo, but being the OC that has to develop and install the scheme is a lot different from just having to call plays in a system that is already designed and implemented. He may well succeed, but it's a question Brady is going to have to answer.

Let's just hope that this reset don't take an entire offseason and 12 weeks to come together.

Right? Could end up being an excuse for year 4 of DA…or could be what ends the DA era.

I’m happy for him and think it’s a great spot for him to land in terms of the QB there and the team as a whole. That said, with the increase in teams going after OC’s (which is clearly Curry’s next goal) and HC’s with experience in the Shanahan/McVay system, im a little surprised he would pass up an opportunity to work within that system, even if as just a WR coach. Going to Buffalo under Brady firmly entrenches him in the same system he’s known for, which although not a bad thing per se, is not a system that’s as highly coveted when it comes to taking the next step.

No doubt.

This is good news. I want every remnant of the Payton offense gone. On to something new.

Loomis was at the senior bowl scouting potential draft picks while DA stayed behind in New Orleans to interview candidates. Loomis had nothing to do with this hire but maybe negotiating a contract.

If you’re going to sound so confident at least be halfway right.

Link????

DA hasn't had a hand in the offense, since becoming head coach. He helped get Carr here perhaps, but nothing else. DA didn't interview/hire KK......Loomis did. I think it was Loomis who saddled DA w/ Pete. So, it will be Loomis/KK running things on offense.

I would like to change some things in this post. No one (KK) has been Interviewed/hired yet. I miss spoke on that.

I hope you guys are right on this being DA's hire, because I like the choice (KK). I just don't trust Loomis's football decisions.

It’s a lot more than title. Passing game coordinator helps design the weekly passing plan. Bigger responsibility and increased pay as PGC than a WRs coach. PGC, like QB coach, is also a pathway to become OC.

I think if Curry was offered to continue being QB coach, he may have stayed. He’d still have a significant position on the staff as the most important position coach. Going from PGC/QB coach to just WRs coach, his first position coach job on the staff, is a big step down if Curry has goals to keep climbing as a coach.

The crazy thing is I have a gut feeling that CSP is going to lead a top offense next season. I think Russ is going to go somewhere on the league minimum and he will probably keep his backups and develop a rookie.

Quiet as kept, he probably had a major hand helping Sneaky Pete simplify the offense.

No doubt about it. Pass offense looked completely different after the bye that there had to be more input from Curry on executing and setting up the pass better.

I’m happy for Curry to continue coaching in a significant role and keep climbing. He’ll be an OC soon enough.
