Joe Brady Offensive Philosophy

Bender said:
Mario has clearly stated that he will mold the offense and the team in general around the best players that we have on our roster.

He clearly mentioned Tyler van Dyke and mentioned him for a reason. The offense will be built around him. I am not worried now.

I think he tipped his hat buy saying that almost to reassure everyone he is flexible and that really makes me feel much better.

I’m not sold on Brady but I see the attraction at the same time. All coaching hires are a risk unless you are named Saban Meyer or Belichick. I’d like to see a more tested OC but I’m not a coach so what do I know.
 
My $.02 - I'm not making any rash decisions on how good or bad of a hire this would be and I don't feel comfortable enough either direction to put my rep out there and say it's a homerun or that he's not good

Public perception will be a homerun. He obviously had some influence on that 2019 LSU team - that was not Ensminger's offense or play-calling style, that was not Joe Burrow from 2018, and it wasn't the same or anything close after he left. Obviously the personnel was different but even Ensminger reverted a bit to his old self without Brady's influence.

Yes, the Panthers offense sucks, their personnel (without CMC) sucks, their QBs suck. I don't see any OC doing anything with what Carolina has right now. I'm not gonna judge

I think its an extremely high ceiling and I think the floor is actually pretty high as well - assuming he coaches WRs, I hope the QB coach is respected (even at a James Coley or Frank Ponce level - no Jon Richt caliber experiment) - I highly doubt Brady fails as an OC here.

The experience thing does not matter at all.

All the time we see up and coming inexperienced guys from small directional whatever schools who have great offensive minds and people start up threads saying why couldn't we have a guy like that running our offense in such an innovative way.

He is a guy who has been associated with a National Championship program and an NFL team.
No worries.

The biggest variable for the success of our O next season is OL play. While that showed improvement throughout the year, until we can make that a strength of our team... any coordinator we hire is going to face challenges. What I'm saying is, I understand your hesitancy to endorse Brady, or any candidate for that matter...
 
One other thing I've read is that when CMC is healthy he refused to rotate despite having a talented stable of backs. Which breaks my heart because Thad, Rooster, and the Belen guy could collectively demolish defenses. Do not want to see a repeat of Lashlee taking till the last game of the season to learn that rotation with our studs is good.
 
The first page concepts are perfect. You can turn a quick out or slant in man coverage into a TD with one missed tackle. So the play gets stopped you now have 2nd and 5 not bad. He breaks a tackle or makes the defender miss you now have a chunk play on a play with a high completion %. You keep hitting these over and over

The DL is rushing and getting frustrated. That leads to Offsides, Unsportsmanlike penalties and their effort slowing down.

So he failed at a higher level? Saban does all the time with these types of coaches. The dude takes guys like Joe Brady, at crossroads in their careers, and gives them opportunities to reinvent themselves. He hired Kiffin for god's sake.

Lol at people questioning whether Joe Brady would be a home run hire. The guy is one of the most sought after offensive minds in all of football and was on a fast track for a reason.

He wasnt sought after by the organization that he worked at for the past year and a half. ****, they didn't even value him enough to keep him through the end of the season. Maybe perception and reality are different. His resume simply does not match his hype.

Big panthers fan. Watching the games and seeing live what Brady has to work… Darnold/Pj/Cam are all significantly worse QB’s than Burrow and almost any starting NFL Qb. Yes, he ‘fixed’ Burrow and it appeared he had fixed Darnold early in the season but Darnold quickly regressed mentally, CMC got hurt, the OL has been decimated with injury/covid - Brady had no choice but to over simplify the offense just to put a product on the field. The offense the first 3 games this year looks much different than it did the past 3.

I would be ecstatic if we hired Brady and think he would succeed here.

yea this has been my biggest criticism

I mean you have Cam and PJ walker and throwing ain't working as we're losing games badly, your HC tells you to run more and you keep throwing at a higher rate with inept QB's? yeah that's strange. It's also verified because Rhule went to the media and said they were gonna run it 30+ times a game then they ran it 10-15 times and looked like idiots the next few weeks

But they have McCaffrey that is hurt and has been so lately. Kind of hard to focus on the running game when your RB is out.
