Matt Simon has been let go

[Slim Tubby]

Still no mention of an offensive line coach being replaced. Why??

They have reviewed your resume and will keep it on file.

No, but it does take a school that decides they want to win...and are willing to commit to a plan to make it happen. They also need someone who is willing to inject some serious cash into the program. Not only to go out and 'buy' better players, but, more importantly... to retain the players being developed.

Both can be true.

Obviously, having the money to retain assistant coaches is part of this. Losing Hetherman is going to sting for a while.

I'd imagine that Simon isn't happy about getting the boot once we finally start to throw the ball 50 times a game. Hard to recruit and develop when we don't have a WR friendly offense.

A couple of things....

1. If PJ was ever serious about testing the waters, he couldn't do it with that staff. Wasn't getting growth.
2. Could see this coming into play some.... Not sure a Co-OC is needed as much as eliminating potential multiple voices was. Harbaugh show now. Show growth and some drive or may get. Moved along also.

This is PJ going "all in" by showing belief in his Coordinators for 1 more year of ith Drake. Perich regressed.....

He hasn't been given the best clay lately, but he surely hasn't done a very good job molding the clay on-hand.

Isn’t clay collection part of the job?

And mediocre players who make mediocre coaches. And some players never coach. And some coaches never play. I have no point.

And if you hire someone who has more than a year of experience coaching a MAC team that was terrible at the position, you'll have a good idea of how good of a coach they are.

I think Fleck should take his inhouse hiring model a step further and hire a fan as an assistant coach.

Even if Fruechte doesn't have the title of co-oc, I like the idea of us having an assistant there that has lots of OC experience. Never hurts to have experience and ideas in the room.

You are not alone. I also have no point. Kind of like “Oops wrong forum.”
