All have worked pretty exclusively in West Coast Offenses in the NFL.
Gary Kubiak (we tried to hire him) - Well known for his WCO, and had Mike Sherman as his OC with the Texans in 2007.
Brian Callahan - served as QB coach under WCO disciple Jon Gruden. Was an offensive assistant under Kubiak in Denver.
Jemal Singleton - also served under Gruden, and was RB coach in Indy when they were running the WCO from 2016-17.
James Casey - Played his entire career as a TE with Gary Kubiak.
Jim Turner and Ben Martin - Both coached o-line under Sherman in the WCO.
And of course, the Rams run a WCO as well. I think the only coach on the team who hasn't worked in the WCO exclusively is Bob Bicknell.
Seems like a nice comfortable thing Taylor is getting going. Everybody knows everybody pretty well and run about the same things. Just hope we keep it unpredictable so it won't be easy for Defenses to diagnose our Offense. Change it up and keep it unpredictable along with keeping Dalton and the Offense comfortable and aggressive.
I like what Callahan has said about the O-line being the most important part. Makes me think Hobspin is doing what he normally does and making us take a pause on FA but i doubt they don't get atleast one O-lineman in FA. The O-line to go along with our LB core are our obvious weaknesses right now.
Would be hard for anyone to ignore either of these areas after watching tape of last season.
