New Blog: Backing the Pack for NC State Fans!


Caldwell's first move was to name Frank Reich the team's new quarterbacks coach. A veteran of 14 NFL seasons, Reich worked as an offensive intern at training camp in 2006-07 and was an offensive assistant last season.
......
Offensive coordinator Tom Moore and offensive line coach Howard Mudd, who share 67 years of NFL experience, plan on returning. However, defensive coordinator Ron Meeks has interviewed for the New York Jets head coaching position and receivers coach Clyde Christensen is in the mix to be offensive coordinator at San Francisco.
........
Polian said the team's main objective is finding a quality receiver.

"Marvin's not going to play forever," Polian said. "We've got to be thinking about what's the future at that critical position. How do you replace a Hall of Famer?"

Depth at several positions, including defensive tackle, also must be addressed. Polian expects cornerback Marlin Jackson to make a complete recovery from a season-ending knee injury

Fired Russ Purnell

Caldwell sacked the special teams coach today! I like him already:

Whoa,

We stand to possibly lose Meeks?

That might be a shock to the system… that would give us neither of the defensive minds that were with us for 2008.

And that… makes me a bit nervous. :S

moreover,

I’m kind of confused as to why the Jets would be interested in Meeks.

Not only has Meeks never been an NFL head coach, the scheme he’s ran with the colts has been a 4-3 defense… so unless the jets are planning on transitioning out of a 3-4, I can’t see why they’d want the awkwardness of having their new coach learn a completely new defensive system.

he's getting interviews

but he might only be getting them because he fulfills the Rooney Rule (have to interview a minority candidate if you haven’t guaranteed one of your assistants the HC job in their contract, like Caldwell and Mora jr. this year)

Excellent news

I love how they are taking the initiative and actually addressing there plans to the media immediately. The positions we are concerned with are the same Polian and the rest of the Coaching staff also aim to address.

On a side note, like everyone here, I hope we dont lose Meeks.

one thing to note

I love uncle Bill, but he has a bit magician in him. HEY LOOK OVER HERE, new receivers, new this, new that.

Oops, drafted a DT. Oops, Drafted a OT, oops, signed Corey Simon or AV.

For years, his closing remarks on the BPS when the season ended were, “I know we have to improve the short yardage running and I vow we’ll do that either with a full back or a bigger back”, and then nothin… and all during the next year, ‘Edge needs to BYOB, heh heh heh’.

He knows what he’s going to do. I’m sure he knew what he was going to do 6 months ago. But he doesn’t necessarily want everyone else to know, easier to draft who you want that way.

I was holding out hope for QB Bills

That guy knew how to “circle the wagons”.

I guess we’ll have to go with the guy who led the largest comeback in NFL History (over the Oilers).

And if you don’t know who QB Bills is, he’s slightly better than QB Eagles, and much better than QB Browns.

I'll bite

What / who do you mean by “QB Bills,” “QB Eagles,” and “QB Browns”?

Think he means Kelly

But I stared at it for about 30 seconds last night and thought to myself “He probably means Jim Kelly, oh well, I need to go waste my time finding useless facts and stats.”

Tecmo Super Bowl

I assume they did not get permission from Jim Kelly, Randall Cunningham, and Bernie Kosar to use their actual names, so those were their names in the Video Game.

Michael Jordan used to do the same thing.

My first football memories stem from that game. It is (still) one of the best video games around.

Nice man

I should’ve figured that one out. That sure brings back memories. I like “John Elway’s QB” from like 1988. Or my gameboy football game. Forget what it was called. But all it was was black dots and white dots. I figured out a way to pretty much return every kickoff for a TD. Then again, in one of the early Madden games I used to getl ike 20-30 sacks a game and their QB would have -300 yards or so.

Marvin

wow, the writing on the walls there is pretty damning…

Yeah.

Pretty blunt.
