Has a non coordinator OL guy ever been successful head coach?

[BeastMode]

Mario might fail here but he didn’t fail at Oregon

Not sure why we are such a miserable fan base that we try to discredit our coaches resume

2 pac 12 titles at Oregon and consistent top recruiting classes. That’s why he got this job

Will it work? Who knows but whether or not he was a coordinator is irrelevant as he’s already been successful at a top program

I’m a Mario fan. Just asking a questions as we pass time to see if gattass is fired today

He is the only o-line guy I can think of without doing research.

Just interesting and might be why he struggles with offense so bad. Zero skill position background.

PJ Fleck and Coach O

Maybe Mario needs to hire coach O

Andy Reid that’s a big one. Maybe Mario can give him a call and get some advice on hiring his next OC.

Isn’t Andy Reid an OC?

Looked it up his was a line coach most of his Career. Never was an OC.

Would love to add him even on the support staff. One of the best recruiters in the country.

Wow that’s interesting I could have sworn he called plays in both Philly and Kansas City

John Harbaugh? Or does special teams count? What about Mike Tomlin?

Tomlin was a DC for a year before getting the Pittsburgh gig.

QB though not o-line. So far Andy Reid is the only one

 

[Gransapo]

If your trying to discredit Cristobal by saying he was never an OC, you would be incorrect. Cristobal was co-OC at Oregon prior to being named HC.

Cristobal can be attacked for this absolute **** show of a season without making stuff up.

You should change the title of the thread to indicate that you are asking about OL/non skill position coach examples.

As time went on seems a fair amount have done it but all were skill position guys first

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

Andy Reid is one of the best offensive play callers in the NFL if not the best. it’s why people try to downplay Eric Bieniemy.

 

[jhtheking]

Sure besides Mario who has won some of those bigger bowls and been successful?

Like you said Mario has done it himself.. what more proof do you need

 

[RickRollU]

Brian Kelly was DC for a DII school for a year if that really counts as experience…
