Will be interesting to see what changes made on offense. Gibbs will for sure be the focal point of the offense this year.

I love Dan Campbell. It’s so balanced and complimentary. I was worried about the Morton hire. But this looks great.

Is this the first Matt/Dan Campbell connection?

Wait, they're not brothers?

Have there been any coaches that were not retained besides those that followed Glenn and Johnson or took promotions elsewhere?

Assistant defensive line coach Cam Davis was the only one, I believe.

Cam Davis was hired by AG. Same gig as he had with the Lions.

Sounds like Campbell wants to develop Scottie's resume for head coach or coordinator down the road.

Not sure this helps Montgomery's resume in a meaningful way. He's worked with WRs before, on a Super Bowl team. He's handled personalities (Antonio Brown), so unless Jameson Williams becomes some kind of 1,500-yard, WR1 monster, I don't think this raises Montgomery's profile in a meaningful way. I think people recognize he's doing good work here and the retention of the assistant head coach title is valuable.

Fresh blood and hopefully some fresh ideas. Justin, is Gradkowski going to be a general offensive assistant or maybe assistant QB coach?

Honestly, I forgot about him and don't want to overwhelm my sources with the question after using up a few bullets to break the Montgomery and Roehl news. I'll just wait until the combine and ask Campbell there. Assuming the team doesn't announce its full staff sooner.

Little surprising they didn't promote Seth Ryan to WR coach

If you are Campbell and Holmes does Saint have any input, he would for me.

As far as the new RB coach love he has a background with Gibbs.

I'm highly doubtful any player outside of Goff has any input on coaching staff decisions. A QB is different because the scheme needs to work for them. A position coach is about maximizing talent through technique and film work. You don't need a player's input on that, it's your job as head coach to pick the right people.

I'm just saying you run it past Saint. He is not just some player on this team.

Not giving him any power, just asking what he thinks about so and so. If there is a problem you don't want to bring that to the team.

All I know is when I hired people including supervisors I would seek the opinions of any key people. It's a key part of any continuous improvement program.
