Could Doug Williams be next?

Now I havent seen him that way with any other team.

What offense does Shanahan run? I believe Gruden runs the WCO.

Director of Pro Personnel is responsible for scouting of current NFL players, CFL players, UFL, etc. He oversees what free agents to go after, trades to make, oversees the practice squads. His own teams and others. Oversees advanced scouting, keeps an eye on all NFL transaction workouts, oversees in-season try-outs.

Loyal readers of the Warpath know that DW was mentioned as an option here many months back.

I did give Matty inaccurate information in my text to him last night though. Williams doesn't necessarily think he has more upside in Tampa. He think he may not have as much upside in DC. Williams is not as highly considered as far as being an exec as Morocco Brown.

I wonder if Brown gets bumped up (and Scott Campbell out) and Williams comes in under Brown?

Do you think that we might keep Scott Campbell?

I don't know. I mean he must be doing something right to stay through so many regimes and move up the ladder.

I hope Brown and Campbell both stay with Brown possibly getting a promotion. As far as Williams, i don't really see any reason to bring him in. Seems too much like a publicity stunt to me. If we bring in anyone from the outside, I'd much rather have DeCosta.

I don't know that I'd call it a publicity 'stunt' but it probably would be equal parts PR and football. I don't think DeCosta would come over for a lateral position.

Thats an important job. He has done will with filling in the holes he has had to fill due to injuries. I never would have imagined it.

He and Campbell have been close I believe, or at least corresponded with each other, so Doug as a QB coach or OC (if Shanny is calling plays) could be a great working relationship.

I think Shanny runs a variation of the WCO, but not the same style as we currently see here now. Also, we can expect more finese and zone blocking along the offesive line.

yea, it's somewhat different. i've always liked the broncos offense under shanny. i like the way he moves the qb out of the pocket with a lot of rollouts and such, but i'm not sure if that would be good for campbell. campbell is more of a pocket passer.


colt brennan could be a good fit for shanny's rollout offense though

If the hire is Shanahan, I hope he brings Alex Gibb to coach the O-line. Theirs was a marriage made in heaven with Denver's devastating zone blocking that enabled many a back to rush for 1000 yards.

Does that mean he doesn't run the 4th and 1 stretch play?

[warpaint]

I do like that he has always had good o-linemen and a nice running game. Him coming here would really put CP out the picture. I dont mind him coming here once he puts the B&G on Ill be behind him maybe the new scenery and the time off might be what he needs.
