When the coaching staff can work with players…that's the start of in-season stuff imo.

Isn't there a hard day in the cba?

Players return on April 18th for can't do any on field work with coaches until the middle of May per CBA rules.

10 weeks to get a plan in place. Is he in santa clara yet?

Shanahan knows him from TB.

Obviously you want to build a staff of guys you're familiar with, but its a little annoying that Shanahan always hires his former guys. Was Brian Griese really the best QB coach available? Who knows, maybe he'll be great.

True, but what better way to hire someone than a guy who you have coached with, or played with or know personally. In this case it is all 3. Kyle has been in football quite awhile now, going back to playing WR for Longhorns. And it is the guys who were sharp as players, coaches, or just really smart guys who could manage, direct, lead, or teach.

Honestly, i can't imagine a better way to hire folks than by knowing about them up close and personal over a period of time.

He's got a big assignment to work with a #3 overall pick if he pulls it off and Trey balls out he could be a fast riser in the coaching ranks.

Yes yes. Forget who drafted him, forget Trey,...we'll just give Griese all the credit and he'll be a HC in no-time.

Im not upset. He could turn out great. Im wondering, what is our curriculum for trey? I think trey is wondering the same thing by his last interviews. Is griese expected to fill out the whole plan? Is he being handed a plan? The latter would be better i think since this will be his first time in the role.

And to answer your question I'd be asking the same about Steve since he also has no experience coaching quarterbacks in a professional system. It's not about Splash hires it's about getting the talent from point A to point B

Honestly I think Lance is working on is mechanics with Beck/house in the off-season (that's when that stuff is done) and Griese will be involved with more of the mental aspects of the game in-season for Trey. It's a collaborative effort with a lot of hands helping out….end of the day it's Lance that has to put the work in to be great.

Agreed. Wasn't Griese more of a true pocket passer too? Perhaps that's an area he can help Trey in as well from a mental aspect...timing, internal clock, progressions, etc.


Don't need 'em to be true. Just need 'em to be slow.

And every single QB Coach there is has the job of improving a young QB from a mental aspect. It's pretty par-for-course.

Walsh hired Sam Wyche. Same thing. Presumably knows the system which I think is important. I don't think he just said here's a job.

Is this Griese's first coaching job?

Yes.
He'll be a quick study under Shanny / Lynn while getting Lance prepared for defenses, etc.

Who is to say BG won't go on to be an OC somewhere after two years or promoted here once Lynn leaves.
Just had to go on YouTube and watch Brian Griese highlights. Go watch Denver vs. St Louis.

Agree. Like tends to assemble with like. Good coaches with good coaches, good players with good players (TE academey, pass rusher academy - for example). Also I think John Lynch had a role to play too, in my opinion. Both Griese and Lynch are talking heads, and probably associated a lot prior to - when Lynch was a broadcaster and probably even after he was a GM. I can imagine a scenario where Brian calls John and asks John to pass to Kyle his interest in being a coach for Kyle. Or conversely, Kyle asking John what his opinion is of Brian as a person and what his intangibles were as a broadcaster.

Griese will also help as that vet QB mentor that you often look for in a backup

I don't think Shanahan needs Lynch as an intermediary with Griese, they know each other well enough.

Agree. I'm sure they all know each other pretty well. Lynch as a broadcaster and former player and Kyle as a son to the coach Brian played under.

Point was that I think guys that love football will hang out with guys that love football, and that usually translates to good football IQ and good (hopefully) coaching for Trey.

Kyle was also on Gruden's staff in Tampa when Griese was there, so Kyle knows him personally as well.
Its not what you know but who you know. Hope he works out
