I mean Offensive Chief of Staff, is he like the offense's President?  And how about this guy tagged with "Defensive Quality Control", I mean how does he get a pass with all of the poor tackling technique displayed this season??

(01-07-2025, 06:40 PM)pally Wrote: The "Chief of Staff" is basically an administrative position. He coordinates the coaches' schedules and media appearances. He puts together the scouting reports. He organizes free agent and draft prospect visits.  And ultimately he does anything Zac or the coaches need him to in order to spend more time on actual coaching.   

The Quality Control Coaches are baby coaches still wearing training wheels. They spend a lot of time watching tape and with the scout team.  Their role is to assist any coach on the field as needed.  Brad Kragthorpe started as an offensive quality control coach

(01-07-2025, 06:49 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: If I were Bengals management, I'd have to let Louie Cioffe go as well. For him not to start ringing the warning bell over the poor tackling technique is a sure fire way to know that he doesn't have what it takes to be a full-time coach. (I know that I'm harping on the lack of tackling execution pretty hard, but honestly it might be part of why Lou lost his job)

(01-07-2025, 07:18 PM)pally Wrote: He is gone..at least according to the coach's page on Bengals.com

(01-07-2025, 07:28 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: That makes sense, it just wasn't a newsworthy firing because like you said, Quality Control is more like a coach in training.

(01-07-2025, 07:37 PM)pally Wrote: Quality control guys usually only work on one year contracts so its likely he wasn't fired just not retained

(01-07-2025, 07:45 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Fair enough, I just wanted to lump as many people as possible as part of the problem of not addressing the poor tackling as I could.
