SCOTT PETERS WILL MAKE THE BENGALS GREAT AGAIN. MARK MY WORDS. HE IS A HANDS ON, SMART, UP DATED WITH THE LATEST TECHS ON PASS AND RUN AND WILL DEVELOPE YOUNG GUYS TO THEIR MAX. HE IS THE TOP NEW OL COACH IN THE NFL WAY BEYOND ALL EXPECTATIONS.

— Jim “Mouse” McNally (@CoachMcNallyOL) January 20, 2025

Great coming from a guy that has'nt coached in how long.

I have to see it to believe it. To me this just feels like another typical mike brown hire. We just have to wait and see I guess

In what way? Did you think they were going to get one of top guys in the league to make a lateral move?

Dude is young, and supposedly has a very “modern approach.” I don’t see anything Mike Brown-esque about it.

McNally still knows his shit. Anybody that knows anything about OL coaches knows about McNally and his pedigree.

Yours? Eh....

Truth, this is not a usual hire at all. Scott Peters is young and up and coming.

It's not the same game, jeezus. The game is beyond different from just 15 years ago, let alone 30 years. I'll eat crow if our line improves to top 15 in 2 years.

You act like McNally hasn't been around football all this time. He is constantly at Training Camp every year.

Scott Peters was a good OL coach for the Patriots just this year with way less talent on his OL than Pollack had to work with.

You cutting down McNally to cut down Peters just shows your negative bias to hate on anything Bengals like always.

Dude looks the part anyway. Wouldn’t mess with him.

"negative bias to hate on anything Bengals" is just your hilarious opinion. 

I've had Sunday ticket for 27 years because I moved to Florida, been a fan since 79, I want the Bengals to win a super bowl.

But if the opinions of a 81 year old coach who's claim to fame was Anthony Munoz in the 80s is your thing & makes you feel all warm inside ok. 

Not cutting down McNally at all & what he did in the 80s with great talent & Paul Brown still running things.

I hope the new coach is good & makes the line good, but Jim's thumbs up don't mean sh!t to me, we know it's means something to Mikey Boy though.

I guess I'm not allowed to have opinions different than yours? Just ignore me if you don't like differing opinions.

It's harder to find a good OL coach than it is to find coordinators. Scott Peters pedigree sounds like one most teams would love to take a chance on.

Yes, we have differing opinions for sure. Hanging his hat on Anthony Munoz is a bad thing now is it? 

You are hilarious.

We are talking about Scott Peters and he has a fine resume' and he is up and coming and all you are doing is cutting down a guy cause he is old.

McNally isn't Mikey Boy. I don't understand your dislike of the man.

And is a Bengals consultant, if memory serves. 

While McNally has certainly forgotten more about OL play than I'll ever know, I don't really put much value on the opinions of Bengals employees on Bengal hires.

We should all hope the same.  Folks fear the unknown - why worry about things that are not in your circle of influence?

Right?  I would think they need to be eating steak and potatoes with a side of creatine and hitting the weight room after seeing them get zero push most of the time.  I envy other teams seeing a RB get the ball and a nice hole greets him as the OL gets push.

From almost a year ago, here's the Patriots' write up on him when they hired him.

Good find! Here’s the money quote from the link you sent:

“The Browns of the last few years were an outside zone-based team, and they ran it on almost a quarter of their offensive snaps — which would be a change compared to the Patriots’ traditionally power-focused concepts. However, they also mixed in a considerable amount of man blocking to a point where they eventually became one of the league leaders in gap blocking, too.”

I'm not down on the hiring, but I will point out that his two biggest references for us are the Dad of our former OC, and a long-time FO buddy of Mike's. That's arguably incredibly Mike Brown-esque. 

I am just choosing to believe that he's also good on top of that. Lol

(01-20-2025, 03:06 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Alright, now I'm starting to get excited! Interesting that he's not also getting the Run Game Coordinator title just yet.

Most OL coaches are the run game coordinator. I'm not sure why the team "officially" gave the title to Pollack. Run/pass game coordinator titles are more common in college football than the pros. Alexander was the run game coordinator for a long time. Even Turner mentioned it during an interview with Lap that he works on the run game and then tweaks it with Zac and Brian.

I'm not going to hold his NE tenure against him. That team was assembled so poorly that it seemed obvious that they were trying to tank the season.

Personal attacks aside, Nate... I will point out that McNally has been a consultant in our FO since 2012. 

That means..
-He was here when we hired Frank Pollack, Jim Turner, and Frank Pollack again.
-He was here when we chose Kevin Zeitler over David DeCastro and drafted Bodine, Ogbuehi (and later sent Whitworth packing for him), Fisher, Price, J Williams, Carman, D'Ante, Volson, and then finally Mims.
-He was here when we traded for Cordy Glenn, signed Bobby Hart, John Miller, Xavier Sua'Filo, La'el Collins, Alex Cappa, and Ted Karras.

He hasn't really been killing it as a consultant for the previous 13 years.

The fact that the same brass that made these decisions have any staying power at all to fans is ***** wild to me.

Haven't read many posts in this thread, but I'm pumped up about the hire!

Smart guy that learned under Bill Callahann and he loves the style of play in the division!

He'll give Burrow time to put up MVP numbers and he'll have a shot of winning next year when we make the playoffs and win a few postseason games!

(I know it's a regular season award, but Burrow would have won this year [still could, but doubtful] if we made the playoffs.)

I asked this earlier, but I did not see anyone respond to it. Why did NE not retain him???
