    Hopefully that means we will pick up some great Memphis talent in the future. Should have snatched Genard Avery and Anthony Miller last year. This upcoming draft we need to get Henderson in the 2nd and Pollard in the 5th.

    JRobbed can't wait to get rid Mariota and this is further proof. Set him up to fail by not doing jack s#it last offseason and midseason, and now they're going cheap on OC because next year is a tanking year.

    Feel bad for MM8, tbh. Got drafted to the worst possible team for him. Garbage weapons, garbage line for 3 out of his 4 seasons, had Sankey and DGB his rookie year, Two years of Robiskie ball and now back to back first time play-callers under a defensive head coach.

    Downvote me JRobbed fluffers you know it's true.

    OC's only make $100-200k, and its rarely leaked

    I wouldn't say they went cheap, lazy maybe...

    What exactly were you expecting? They obviously just cant go out and get a proven OC who is under contract somewhere else. So it was going to be either a recycled guy who is no longer under contract (meaning they probably haven't been great lately) or a younger guy who was being promoted.

    Did a quick search and that's probably what position coaches make. Coordinators usually make around 7 figures a year. McDaniels just signed 5yr contract in which the highest he would make in a season is 4M. He's the highest paid coordinator (and it isn't close) but that's a big difference from the 150k figure you found. Alex Gibbs, former Falcons O-Line coach, used to make over a million a year.

    Could-be head coaches can make more of course, I was talking about averages

    Norm Chow used to earn 7 figures as our OC, and that was back in 2005. NFL Assistants Get Big Bucks

    The average salary of a coordinator was set to be 850k back in 2009.

    One could only imagine that has gone up a decade later. There's college coordinators that earn double and triple that now.

    Then why didn't they simply hire Defilippo and then sign or trade for Foles?

    On the other hand, we'll see how this off-season shakes out and whether or not they wait to sign Mariota to an extension.

    520 is completely correct. Only the gullible think JRobd tried with this hiring. He went lazy and cheap. Expect a boring offseason as well. Next year is just a bye year to get ready for the 2020 draft when fata$$ finally gets "his guy" at QB.

    Again, I feel for Marcus. He was never set up and backed to succeed. Another first year playcaller under a defensive head coach is on the way. Meh.
