Quote:Offensive Coordinators are typically WR and QB Coaches. If Mike MCCarthy is constantly giving ringing endorsements of Bennett and saying he'd be a good future coordinator who am I to disagree?


The job of OC isn't just play calling. It's managing the entire offense, working closely with position coaches include QB coaches and finding the best ways to develop and maximize offensive talent. I think Bennetts experience is more than sufficient. Jedd problem was leadership and managing his entire offense. He was Gus' buddy but not really a good coach.

With a young QB who needs to have a coordinator who is going to be as much a mentor as he is a coordinator, I don't see Bennett as a viable option for this team regardless of what McCarthy says about him.  There's too much youth on this roster, particularly on that side of the ball, to hand the keys to a guy who's cutting his teeth as a first time coordinator. 

 

You're basically pointing out why you don't want someone who isn't experienced with running an entire offense as your coordinator.  Bennett's experience lends nothing to the notion that he can oversee the entire offense. Not questioning his ability to coach position players.  I just don't think he'd be a good fit for the situation here.
