This is why I don't get why fans blame the coaches in situations like this. When you have subpart talent at every position excluding a few, it is largely on the front office's roster management. Typically, this is because they draft wrong people. I grew up in phx and can tell you the reason the Cardinals started becoming good recently was because the front office would talk to the coaching staff to make sure the players they wanted to draft or pick up in free agency work with the offensive and defensive systems they run. I think craft does a great job of this too. Whereas, the York's were similar to Cleveland.

Coached WRs with Jim at Stanford. Has to be to replace Fisch. Drevno is still the OC...Hamilton would handle WRs, offensive play calling suggestions and help Harbaugh with the QBs. Same thing Fisch did. Hamilton worked with Andrew Luck in Indianapolis as well. Strong recruiter like Fisch. Younger like Fisch. Wouldn't be a bad hire at all if you asked me. I mentioned him along with Dougherty who just got to Oregon, Soup who just got to UConn, and Weist who could probably get an OC job versus coming to be a WR coach and passing game coordinator. When it comes to coaches...Harbaugh doesn't miss. The man can assemble a staff like very few can.

This is the guy I want most of all. Can actually Coach WR and QBs and can walk into recruits homes and say "Hi, I'm Pep, you may remember me from every year Andrew Luck has been good".

Mmmm hmmm...but that's kind of made up and still usually isn't OC money. But again, who knows. I don't know the man's personal situation, whether he'd take a pay cut, or what we'd even offer to make it considerable. I'm sure if this is accurate Harbaugh and Manuel are offering something very competitive...plus the opportunity to get back into college. The last guy in this position got an OC job after 2 years. If he has success at Michigan he could easily get an OC job or maybe even a HC job at a group of 5 school. Or if Drevno left...maybe he's promoted. There's plenty of opportunity in Ann Arbor. I don't know if the money has to match. But I obviously don't know Pep either. I think it would be a great fit.

Market price as a passing game coordinator/WR coach. That's not the same as NFL associate head coach and OC is my point. You are correct he only got Jags money for a year. I'm talking about what he made last season versus what Hamilton makes today. Fisch made $725k last year (if split evenly over year contract) versus what Pep makes today. Assuming he makes millions which may not be true at all because a lot of NFL guys don't make as much as college guys...it would obviously be a step back. But who knows if that matters or if Harbaugh and Manuel decided to offer more.

This can't hurt in the recruitment of Dorian T-R it should help keep us in the running. We need to stay in the sweepstakes for a more mobile quarterback. See: Championship Game

Rudock was certainly a better runner...I'm responding to the comparison between the two as QBs. As consistent and accurate QBs versus mobile QBs. Neither was Lamar Jackson on the ground, both IMO had about the same year as consistent and accurate QBs aka pocket passers.
