No matter how good you are at a job, if you don't do it for 10 years you forget the details.

Dick Vermeil won a SB after spending like 16 years away from coaching. You don't suddenly forget what you've learned about the game, especially if you're continually surrounded by it because you're calling games which involves watching tape weekly and conducting interviews with players and coaches.

Dick Vermeil took the Eagles to a Superbowl little different situation then with Griese who has no experience coaching.

They need to get whoever coached josh fallen on his mechanics to get with Trey. Not some rookie coach. imo.

Yea that analogy makes no sense. Where did the idea he took a 16 year break from coaching come from?

[Note ok between eagles and rams. I was looking backwards from eagles. Anyway jc is right because he had. Almost 20 years continuous experience before then]

It might be good. Somebody has to teach the kid how the read the field, better mechanics, how to throw. We need a guy to fix up Lance. He needs a lot of work and has a long way to go.

That's certainly the right attitude.

To everyone evaluating our coaching hires... whether you have a good/bad opinion... to be honest, unless it's an established NFL coach that has a track record... how much can we really evaluate new, young hires?

There's really not a lot to go off of, except to just see what their lineage is.

The question was this:

Vermeil is one such example.

Personally I'd have Lynn teach the RB skills to Trey. Griese can still teach Trey the all important dump off passes if Trey gets in trouble. Things like ball protection and protecting yourself as a RB, or hitting the right hole, would be better coached (I think) by Anthony.

The 49ers drafted a QB, not a RB. If Lance is going to be out there running like Lamar Jackson, his career won't be a long lasting one.

The stuff he needs to master comes down to being able to sit in the pocket and pick a defense apart with his arm.

Like Elway and Young, his ability to run is just the cherry on top, not the entire meal.

like jc said it doesnt make sense since before he gave up the eagles gig, he had about 22 years of continuous coaching experience.

Griese has had zero.

so there is precedent for tv work going to coaching....with a 20 year (highly successful) history of coaching behind that.

Griese had a decade of playing experience. Considering that most NFL QB coaches never played the position in the pros and had very few years of coaching under their belts when they attained that position, Griese is better qualified to work with a young QB than most.
