Quote:I guess his experience as a RB/WR coach would severely limit his ability to run an offense. I honestly don't see a huge talent gap between a WR Coach and A QB coach. If you are strong leader and have a good staff that can maximize your offensive players then you shouldn't have a problem coaching. Bennets coaching career seems to be on a similar track to a guy like Hue Jackson in terms of NFL experience, both being RB/WR coaches. Prior to being name offensives coordinator in 2004-2006 (great years for the Palmer led Bengals), Jackson was a RB coach. The Bengals fielded the 7th best offense in 2014.


As far as Bortles he will best benefit from directly working with a very experienced QB coach and a OC who understands what he does best on the field.

 

Did you bother to look any of this stuff up, or did you just pull this out of your posterior?

 

First off, Bennett has been in coaching for how long?  9 years.  5 of those as a RB coach, and 4 as a WR coach. 

 

Jackson has been in coaching for almost 30 years, coaching RBs, WRs, QBs, and special teams.  He also served as an offensive coordinator in college, and for 3 teams in the NFL before he wound up in Cincy.  You might want to check the timeline for his time with the Bengals.  He wasn't the offensive coordinator from 2004-2006.  He coached the receivers. 

 

Google. 

 

You should give it a whirl. 

 

Bennett doesn't have the background Jackson had when he became an offensive coordinator.  He will eventually get there, but he's not a guy you're going to put into this mix.  Too inexperienced and unproven.  The biggest knock on Fisch (and it's been reiterated in this thread multiple times) when Gus hired him was his lack of experience as a coordinator in the NFL.  He had ample experience as a position coach and as a coordinator in the college ranks, so I guess you were a huge supporter of his hire based on how you're peddling Bennett now.
