with regard to the offense. OC outranks the passing game coordinator. Will he get paid more? I guess we'll know soon enough. Assistant head coach implies to me some administrative duties. Either that or is just a title. Fred Jackson was assistant then associate head coach for nearly the entire time Carr was HC. I think it was a nod to his experience that gave him extra pay. He wasn't calling plays and he was still paid less than the coordinators.
January 9th, 2017 at 7:10 PM ^
Also could be just and title thing with no impact whatsoever on actual game plan/play calling responsibilities.
Or it might signal a slightly different role than Fisch had, either administratively and/or in terms game plan and play calling role.
Not really concerned about it. Just caught my eye that they are putting the 'Assistant Head Coach' title on Hamilton.
January 9th, 2017 at 5:52 PM ^
Isn't Jim Harbaugh the play caller?
January 9th, 2017 at 7:12 PM ^
that Drevno was the play caller, but that Drevno, Fisch, and JH were always talking and bouncing ideas on most plays.
So sort of a team thing.
January 9th, 2017 at 5:56 PM ^
If it denotes extra responsibilities, I don't know what they are. It looks good on a resume and justifies higher pay. In Cleveland Pep was the AHC and the OC and still did not call plays.
January 9th, 2017 at 7:00 PM ^
Interesting, yes. Doesn't Drevno also hold the "assistant head coach" title?
January 9th, 2017 at 5:40 PM ^
I hope he doesn't throw away his shot. I heard he's young scrappy and hungry, but the problem is he has a lot of brains but no polish.
January 9th, 2017 at 5:43 PM ^
Seriously, there's a million things he hasn't done.
January 9th, 2017 at 5:51 PM ^
Just you wait. Just. You. Waaaaiiitt.
January 9th, 2017 at 6:37 PM ^
name one person who would've been a better hire.
January 9th, 2017 at 7:13 PM ^
Crisler.
Mad Magician plays.
Otherwise, nobody.
January 9th, 2017 at 8:50 PM ^
Well if they were to go head to head I would take Aaron Burr over him.
January 9th, 2017 at 5:41 PM ^
It's hard to have his resume without knowing what you're doing.
January 9th, 2017 at 6:35 PM ^
Does your boy John B. know what he's doing?
January 9th, 2017 at 5:41 PM ^
A great hire and certainly one that we can all be proud of. Welcome Pep!
January 9th, 2017 at 5:42 PM ^
January 9th, 2017 at 5:44 PM ^
Love that Harbaugh was able to hire his top choice for a replacement

Serious question because I have not looked to deep into his coaching career. Someone posted where the offenses ranked on teams he was a coach. If I remember correctly those stats seemed drastically diffrent with Andrew Luck and without. Still appears to be an upgrade from Jedd Fisch but makes me wonder.

Live in Cleveland (yes, I know). I am telling you, no one has did more with less since MacGuyver. Sometimes I think he printed up a QB on a 3D printer, ran him out there, and got production. Hue Jackson gets some credit on that front too, but this guy managed an interesting and bizarrely effective offense on a train wreck of a team (talent-wise).
Great hire, IMO.

January 9th, 2017 at 5:46 PM ^
upgrade from Fisch just like Don Brown
January 9th, 2017 at 5:53 PM ^
Great news!!! Awesome pick up.
Harbaugh's ability to hire great coaches is unreal. I'm serious. I've NEVER seen anything like this.
Welcome aboard Pep! Time to go to work!

How they always act like Schefter breaks all the news? It seems to me he never breaks any news...
January 9th, 2017 at 6:51 PM ^
You shut your whore mouth*, Mabel. Shefty is a MICHIGAN MAN, and therefore, all your breaking news is belong to him.
Wait--can I say that to a cartoon of an adolescent female?

This is a mild upgrade over the last regime's WR Coach/Passing Coordinator who is now...a position coach at Colorado State-Pueblo (DII).
EDIT: He was actually picked up by Illinois to coach TEs...but was fired after three months.

You and Brian Cook should start a Aerosmith tribute man and play "You're Livin' On The Edge" but change the lyrics to "We're Livin' In The Past!"

January 9th, 2017 at 6:31 PM ^
Or he, ya know, just decided to accept the job today.
January 9th, 2017 at 6:38 PM ^
Nope. Everything with Harbaugh is carefully calculated. Bet the deal has been done for 24-48 hours...
