Quote:I don't expect him to develop any offensive players. He doesn't do offense.


I can see several players on the defense you might say he has 'developed'.


We have been through this before. This is the issue with having a defensive head coach. You cycle through offensive assistants until you find somebody worth keeping.

 

I think there are some concerns you brought up.  Basically with bringing in a new offensive coordinator/offensive system you're not really getting any continuity from the last year.  So depending on how different the system is, you may start Bortles and the other rookies again from square 1, or maybe square 1.25.

 

In your last comment, I think it works the other way as well.  The Texans' brought in Gary Kubiak and his offensive system that had pretty immediate success, however he couldn't pick a Defensive Coordinator to save his life.  He brought in two of his buddies for 4 years, and the defense was an utter failure.  It wasn't until Wade Smith was brought in (and the conspiracy is that the owner made this call) that the team finally got into the playoffs.

 

Hopefully Greg Olson works out despite his somewhat "meh" career, cause it would be a shame if any more system disruption occurs while Bortles is trying to develop.
