I can't pretend I know anything about these guys. But, if Stern is a loss, the question becomes, how much of a get is Gelman to make up for that loss?

No idea but Gelman was with the Ravens 2019-2023 in various analytics roles.

Looks like Klint Kubiak will be heading to Vegas after the Super Bowl. So that would leave Arizona as the only team without a coach. Mike LaFleur seems to be their guy but it seems they wanted Kubiak and were holding out hope on him.

Just realized I quoted the wrong post but I agreed with Simba. He's familiar with the system and the bridge between Lamar and the OC. Maybe he needs to get out that comfort zone. I want this team playing pissed off this year.

If this regarding Tee Martin then honestly I don't really see it being a great idea moving on from him. I respect Declan Doyle possibly wanting coaches thats familiar with Sean Payton scheme but I think it's valuable to keep a good coach around that legits knows LJ more than anyone on the coaching staff currently.

Don’t like this. Him and Lamar have grown together and that’s Lamar’s guy for real. This could be a bad move

Curry's two years at Bills are irrelevant. He's hired because he worked with Sean Payton for years before that and knows the system inside out. He'll be infinitely more helpful for Lamar.

Then that OL better be a damn priority... re-sign Linderbaum then send Faalele to New York with Harbaugh or since Monken didn't see him as a problem either, he can go to Cleveland.

Frankly I'd rather see Faa'lele go to Pittsburgh and stink up their O-line for a change.

I know one thing.. broncos offense suck lol

9 of the now 10 HC hires are white

7 of the 10 hires were offensive hires

seems to me that the biggest reason for the lack of minority coaches is the lack of black and other minority coaches on the offensive side of the ball further downstream - you'd hope that with more and more black QBs that that would proliferate and more of those guys would become QB coaches which opens up that pathway

part of the problem is that some of those backup clipboard holder type guys who you'd think could be future coaches are still playing... guys like Teddy Bridgewater and Tyrod Taylor

and the guys that are less accomplished players aren't being handed coaching jobs straight into trees like sean mannion, davis webb or josh mccown

Harbs just was hiring from the old boys club. Thats a problem and he's still doing it with the Giants.

Where the Ravens sit...

HC: Minter

OC: Doyle
QB: ? (Curry interviewing)
RB: ?
WR: ? (Tettleton and Gill interviewing)
TE: ?
OL: Ledford and Flaherty
Analyst: Gelman

DC: ?
DL: ?
OLB: ?
ILB: Santucci
DB: Mickens and ?

ST: ? and ? (Levine looking good to stay for one of the roles)
KC: Brown


Still a lot of hires to be made, and maybe a couple more assistants to what is laid out above.

Tee Martin, Matt Robinson, Chuck Smith, and Chuck Pagano are the key names in limbo.

from the sounds of it, they clearly liked matt robinson (one of the guys they initially blocked from moving laterally)

but no rumblings about any of the other guys

a real pipeline issue that clearly carries backwards through college
something structural needs to change if you want to see actual improvement

Oh boy I’m so glad we get to rehash this discussion again

i'm not even saying the teams sucked or anything
just saying there's a clear pipeline issue that needs to be resolved - that you can't improve the HC issue of underrepresentation without addressing one of the bigger causes which is the lack of minority offensive coaches

The NFL has created rules to try and help the cause and revises the rules to try and help the cause but in the end it's probably ownership, in many cases and that's a major problem.

not to be the guy that defends the ownership or the GMs or whatever - because i never want to be that guy
but i think the pipeline is the biggest issue (which itself tbf is definitely affected by racial bias and perception)

everyone wants to hire the young offensive genius - that moniker right now is only ever bestowed on young white guys

and there is a clear structural imbalance in terms of the percentage of defensive coaches who are from a minority vs the percentage of offensive coaches who are from a minority

think the last stat i saw said 27% of defensive coaches are minorities but only 7% of offensive coaches

until that issue is addressed, the HC imbalance will persist
