For a f**king horrible coaching staff, a lot of those guys are still maintaining consistent NFL employment.
Geep Chryst still coaches in the NFL. So just sticking around doesn't make you a good coach.
I think the point is the person who was blasting Shanahan was ridiculously wrong. Just because they're a friend of Kyle doesn't mean they don't know football.
About half of the coordinators/position coaches who were on Mike Shanahan's 2013 staff when he got fired were coaching for that ATL team in the Super Bowl. Aside from Kyle himself, he had Raheem Morris, Mike McDaniel, Matt LaFleur, and Bobby Turner. Also on that staff was the now Rams HC Sean McVay. McDaniel is noted by Pierre Garcon as the best WR coach he's ever had.
Bobby Slowik, Jr. who is on staff with us now is in the exact role you'd expect at this point in his coaching career -- quality control. So I see no glaring issues with this staff, especially if we indeed hire Benton away from Denver to coach the OL. It'll be a well balanced group in terms of experience and upside, so it would make absolutely zero sense for anyone to claim this is even remotely close to being a staff comprised of unqualified newbies.
(Note: this isn't directed specifically at yourself, JCool. Just generally speaking here.)
