    WR Coach

    https://steelersdepot.com/2020/02/st...-new-wr-coach/

    I don't know anything about this guy. But I do like the trend with this and the Canada hire. Younger college coaches that aren't part of the annual NFL coaching recycling program.

    Fresh ideas and perspectives hopefully.

    Re: WR Coach

    A Gamecock? yuck!.

    Seriously though, hope he does well. 36 years old, never worked for an NFL team before.

    He'll have some insight on WR Bryan Edwards come draft time. 6'3" WR. He also helped develop 49ers rookie Debo Samuel.

    ”Fresh ideas” and the mediocre South Carolina offense are not terms often heard in the same sentence here in SEC country.

    McClendon was the Gamecocks offensive coordinator in 2018-19, but he was demoted late last season by head coach Will Muschamp. His offenses ranked 57th and 96th in the country.

    Well, that sucks. I don't know anything about the coach, the team, or really what a WRs coach even does. I was just excited that the hire wasn't some guy who has been bouncing around the NFL for 3 decades getting jobs as his coaching friends move up the ladder. Maybe in this case, it was far too optimistic of a thought.

    I wouldn't make too much of that. Head coaches often need to blame ineffective units on coordinators, or they are forced to do so because of outside pressure within the program that the athletic director or administration make as a demand for the head coach to keep his job.

    Besides, position coaching is far different from being a coordinator, and you can only work with the talent that is given to you at a second tier program. I really don't know much about the guy either, but I would imagine there are good football people that are aware of the type of coach he is and how he goes about his business.

    I see he was a running back coach that coached Isaiah Crowell, Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, and Sony Michele. I know those guys have talent, but it still takes coaching to develop that talent. He obviously didn't have that type of talent at the WR position at South Carolina.

    I see that the three assistants to be leaving South Carolina are all getting better jobs making good money. It sounds like a recruiting and head coach problem more than problems with the assistant coaching staff. I look forward to seeing what he can do.

    Steelers reportedly adding South Carolina receivers coach

    Well, this is the second coaching position I hoped the steelers would take care of, the other was the QB coach. I hope it helps.


    The Steelers went through last season with an interim receivers coach, and it appears they may have filled the job.

    Thank you. Lots of college coaches out there with "fresh ideas". Still doesn't mean they are "good ideas" for professional football, where just about every player was on scholarship.

    I bet lots of fans think that a jet sweep like their favorite college team runs is a good idea in the NFL and should be done more. They just have no idea of why that is a bad idea in the NFL and don't want to go thru the thought process of why its actually pretty dumb.

    So you are excited about a hire that you know nothing about, nor his track record or performance, but rather that just that its anti-establishment? Sorry man, for a guy that seemingly likes to deal in concrete facts, statistics and logic, that doesn't seem congruent with your regular thought process.

    , I’m interested in seeing how this and the Canada hire do. We were down and out in both ares this season - we can only get better with these two hires. Also, agree with the notion that managers/head coaches cast blame on their subordinates all the time to deflect from there own failures - see Paths of Glory (1957)

    This seems like as good of a place as any to insert an interesting fact. Here is what the new WRs coach has to work with:

    Most forced missed-tackles by a WR:
    1. Diontae Johnson
    2. Chris Godwin (2nd team All-Pro)

    SUMMATION:
    I can’t wait to see what this kid does with Ben at the helm.

    I would rather hire a younger position coach than just hire one of the "usual suspect" NFL retreads that are available because the Browns, Bengals, Redskins, or whatever other bad team that purged their coaching staff made someone available. I am operating under the assumption that since the Steelers are typically a deliberate and cautious organization and not known for capricious coaching hires, that they did their due diligence and the guy has the basic qualifications for the job. I think the Steelers staff is needing some voices under 50 and from outside the organization.

    Of course, who knows? We can debate these kinds of hires until we are all blue in the face. But it is ultimately meaningless. We, as fans, are never truly sure how this team arrives at gameplans and playcalls. They seem to be intentionally obscure about the roles of individual coaches. So if all this guy is going to do is coach WRs on route running and the other fundamentals of their position -- likely doesn't matter. If the Steelers are wanting gameplan input and offensive system advice from their position coaches, then maybe it matters what they've done in the past. Either way, be interesting to find out.

    Long story short, he likely got hired because he was friends with and mentored by the late Daryl Drake anyways.

    Well apparently, not so fast folks.

    What do you know. Speculative reports and unsourced Tweets don't always have the facts straight. South Carolina dude is one of several candidates being interviewed for the job, including former Steelers WR, Jericho Crotchery.

    Hawkman, i believe he was telling Shoes that there was no need for him to have a life outside of the internet. I don't think he was bagging on you.
