Don't have a dog in this fight, but Pete Carroll has always been a Defensive coach.

And he calls plays  HCs can call defense too 😉.  In fact I believe he calls offense plays now

Don’t be coming in here with facts that don’t fit the argument.  😂

Of course when I get locked out of my account for a week this board turns into a dumpster fire.

You were gone?

 

Glad to see you back!

Play calling is an art, not a science. Based on many things and not reliant on watching a ton of film if you are familiar with your offense. Intuition, gut feeling, feeling the flow of the game, momentum, etc. That's why so few are really good at it. Analytics, film study, logic, play sheets, etc. don't make you good at it.

We'll see where this lands....

By the way, does anyone have any idea who is actually going to be the OC?

Pretty sure it's looking like Harsin interviewed Davis formally and am offer is going to be extended. Or at least that's what I thought I read.

So he's  been an NFL QB coach for like 3 yrs. Is that really the extent of his resume? Why are we getting excited about him again?

He is in his 2nd year currently, so one full season and this one.  He was an offensive assistant before that and was playing prior to that role.

Didnt Bird say he was hired as the new OC or did I misread that in the recruiting thread?

He did.  I read the same thing.

Get that man over to Dee Davis right now 

[TAYLORKEETON 794]

So is it official..? 

[W.E.D 11,070]

I think it's a really good upside hire, although a lot of risk. I assume this is also a cheap hire.

Harsin will probably call plays for a bit then turn it over. Kind of be the mentor of a really smart sbd innovative young mind.

Love this over a boring retread

[CCTAU 3,334]

So. This guy works with Russell Wilson. Does that mean things might be looking up for DD?

Love this hire, especially with Harsin looking to mentor a young, up and coming coach into play-calling duties eventually.  7 years in the NFL as a back-up.  You don't do that unless you have a deep understanding of the complexities of NFL scheme, for a bunch of different teams, too.

Probably not anytime soon. Ppl compare him to Wilson and Murray. But he doesn't have near the arm strength as those two and is probably a few inches shorter than both. 

Maybe he's the anomaly, seems like a good kid

The hottest OC in the NFL essentially went this path. 7 year back up, QB coach for a year and then straight to OC. Tons of ppl were calling for Kellen Moore too. Maybe Austin Davis is Moore 2 years ago???

Don't need to be a position coach for 20 years to be a good OC

waiting for that official ticker..

You never know, DD is actually the same height as Kyler Murray if his height I just quickly googled for both is correct.  Normally, the exception though not the rule.
