With new names or at least candidates outside of Fedora and Applewhite coming into the fray as possible OC why not also take a look at a few candidates from modern offenses in the NFL. If we are truly conducting a thorough search to find an OC with a modern offense then we should search not just in college but also the NFL.
With teams like the Chiefs, Rams, Saints, and Eagles all running modern offenses, why not see if there any candidates on their staff who would bring some modernization to our offense. Of course it goes without saying that we probably wouldn't be getting an OC from one of these teams to come here and be an OC but why not look at QB coach or offensive assistant who has had previous experience as a play caller. And before all the pessimist say you can't hire someone without an extensive history of calling plays look no further than the best offensive in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy. Most of us would kill for that offense or him as a coordinator but what people don't look at is was only the OC for the University of Colorado from 2011-2012 and only called plays for that 1 year if at all prior to calling plays this season. Currently everyone is drooling over him despite the lack of an extensive history or calling plays. My point is innovation and organization can produce results regardless of experience. Sean McVay is another coach he defied the odds of experience and shown that his brilliance can make up for the deficiencies of long time coaching experience.
I am not saying we shouldn't hire someone with college OC experience either, I am just saying that Manny should at least take a look and interview a few of the candidate below and see if they blow him away with their details and plan the way he did with our Administration.
----- Kansas City Quarterbacks – Mike Kafka (Played the QB position has no prior play calling experience but obviously this has worked in Kansas City and in particular under Andy Reid think Doug Pederson little experience calling plays under Reid. Admit would have to show Sean McVay type qualities with him being such a young coach)
----- Los Angeles Rams Senior offensive assistant – Jedd Fisch (obviously a retread but has experience calling plays and has to have learned from his time with the Rams)
----- New Orleans Saints Offensive coordinator – Pete Carmichael (Long time Saints staffer has to know Sean Payton's system in and out)
----- New Orleans Saints Offensive coordinator Quarterbacks – Joe Lombardi (OC experience)
----- Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator – Mike Groh (Prior OC experience and college coaching experience)
----- Philadelphia Eagles Quarterbacks – Press Taylor (Another that would have to show Sean McVay type qualities with him being such a young coach)
