QB Coach
DL Coach
DB Coach

Kevin Coyle is obviously a name thrown around for DB coach, but it isn't official yet.

Any other ideas for QB and DL?

Wild concept here for QB coach: Peyton Manning if he retires. His football brain would be welcome on my team anytime he would want. I probably couldn't be less realistic with this though. And great players don't always make great coaches, but with Peyton, I can't imagine him not becoming a great coach if he chose to go in that direction. Ken Anderson crosses my mind, but he's got Steeler cooties on him ...... Otherwise, I wonder whose contract is up on teams still in the playoffs - like Greg Knapp. Then there are coaches like Nick Sirianni, Mike Neu, etc that have worked with good QBs ?? Any potential out of the college ranks?

DL coach: Tim Krumrie has been out for several years now, and I've always wondered what happened why. Someone like him, that has his football mentality, would be my first choice possibly. Getting the most out of the bottom 4 or 5 has to be a requirement for sure (actually upgrading our bottom 4 or 5 first). Filling this open spot is huge.

I like Kevin Coyle a lot, but not if he's only taking it as a job while biding his time to move on elsewhere as soon as he could. Greg Jackson might be a better long-term fit. And I say this knowing a lot of position coaches have aspirations of moving up. My first choice is to have someone good, and happy, at what they do.
