Trestman as the OC,, Callahan as the Oline / Asst HC , similar to Tom Cable in Seattle. I dont see how of something like that is so far fetched. Cable was a HC
O'Halloran is an idiot

Quote:Wow.... if we can get Callahan to come here to take a demotion and coach the offensive line, perhaps we can get Chip Kelley here as our OC.
. My pants got tighter when you said chip kelly to jags for oc haha
Quote:Ryan O thinks its for a different position:


(@ryanohalloran) - #Jaguars blog -- report says team wants to talk to Dallas OC Bill Callahan (I think it would be for OL spot). http://bit.ly/1z2N3cj
 

Gus said that he'd try to convince the new OC to keep the current offensive staff but wouldn't stand in his way if changes needed to be made.  So, he's going to go out an hire a new OL coach before he finds his coordinator who may want to bring his own guy in?

 

Ryan O is terrible.
Don't laugh about Callahan coming here as O line coach.   Word is that he is unhappy in Dallas because they gave the play calling duties to someone else. 

Wait he took the Raiders to their fifth SuperBowl in 2002 as a head coach (only the 4th rookie HC to do that), then only 4 wins the next season and was fired (a few felt he lost on purpose to spite the franchise), and he never became a HC again?

A west coast style coach?

A great Oline coach for the Jets and now Cowboys but in 2013 took over play calling as well....

 

I am on the fence about a west coast offense...

--------------------------

wiki states;

 

The West Coast offense requires sure-handed receivers who are comfortable catching in heavy traffic, and the system downplays speedy, larger receivers who are covered easily in short yardage situation. One result has been the longevity of receivers in the West Coast system such as Jerry Rice, because familiarity with the system and clear signalling is of greater importance than systems that require a receiver to "stretch the field" where any loss of speed is a major liability. "WCO" systems also rely on agile running backs that catch the ball as often as they run. Roger Craig was a leading receiver for the 49ers for many years and was a 1,000 yard rusher and 1,000 yard receiver in the 1985 season. Finally, receivers must follow precise, complicated routes as opposed to improvisation, making meticulous, intelligent players more valued than independent, pure athletes. Jerry Rice's unique skill-set made him a reliable and durable asset in both Walsh's and Seifert's versions of the West Coast Offense, and he was able to break numerous NFL receiving records over the course of his career. Rice, who earned induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, recorded 1,549 receptions, 22,895 receiving yards, and 208 total touchdowns, more than any other NFL player in all three categories

Jedd tried to make shoelace a WR but he cant run routes well and doesnt have the best hands how would he fare as a west coast RB after reading the above?  and the WRs that the Jaguars currently have are comfortable catching in heavy traffic and arent the fastest WRs in the league but did tend to do okay in short yardage... I prefered Bortles throwing deep but he did throw a lot of ints and was better with the short game.


Hmm..

Does the interest in Callaghan as OL coach mean that the Jags are interested in signing Murray in FA?

Yes. Bill Callahan and Demarco Murray are a package deal. Like when Lebron and Bosh went to Miami. Bill Callahan is taking his talents to Jax Beach.
Quote:Don't stop there, were gonna get Cowher to come out of retirement and coach our Defense
Hey! Wait a minute.....
I'll take Callaghan. He'd also fix our Zone blocking scheme and he has experience dealing with a gunslinger at QB. (Yes, Bortles is a gunslinger. Fisch just made him into a water pistol last season)

The Callaghan man?

Gotta say I didn't know much about him at all. After some research I'd love to have him here. What he did for the OL in NY and Dal would be awesome.

There's been no buzz around Trestman here, so I think that ship has sailed. 

 

I wonder if Jerry Jones is open to letting Callahan interview for the vacancy here so that he can elevate Linehan to the OC spot to prevent him from being hired for another staff?

After how many carries he had this year I would hope not.  Dude had around 450 carries.  
Quote:And JDR as assistant LB coach.
As long as John Fox is the LB coach.

Due to his previous injuries he doesn't have a ton of mileage on him.  That being said, he will be 27.  IF he can stay healthy like he did this year, I think a team can get a good 2-3 years of top notch production out of him.  He's going to push for a fat contract though.

Historically speaking, if a player has around 400 or more touches in a season, it usually spells a significant setback the next season for that running back. 

 

We saw it here with MJD in 2011 when he had more than 380 touches (343 rushes and 43 receptions).  The next year his career fell off the shelf and he's never recovered.

 

Will that happen with Murray?  No telling, but history doesn't bode well.

Its hard to use MJD as an example. After 2011 he held out came in fat then got injured half way through the season. his poor production could not be soley on the fact hi had 400 touches. would be more on the fact he held out and came in out of shape.
