One hell of a resume.

Hopefully he's not the new guy with the Falcons who transformed Kirk Cousins into what he is today. 

(ees a joke!)

Says he worked with Trevor Lawrence at Clemson and Justin Fields at OSU, along with Herbert with the Chargers. Looks like he's worked with QBs quite a bit in college and NFL.

Good timing for the announcement with the PSU quarterback visiting this weekend.

I assume he goes double duty until the Falcons are eliminated?

Seems like a great hire, but his hair game isn't in the same zip code as Tino.

I'm convinced Coach Sunseri personally put a hole in the ozone layer with his grooming habits...

Love it. I have no interest in 60 year old dudes on their 10th job in 20yrs. Keep bringing in young, smart and hungry, grow ‘em, move them on to their next step and keep growing that coaching tree. Love that Cig thinks that way.

It’s kind of weird because most times you can give a guy the job and he can recruit and whatnot off the books until he goes through the HR process, but as an NFL coach I don’t know if he can get into that. Especially with guys in college. Hopefully he can at least Zoom in with Pribula and whoever else visits this week.

I wouldn't be too shocked if he flies up tomorrow morning and then back tomorrow afternoon for the visit.

So this is the type of hire a serious program makes. Not some old dude who's been around but hasn't done much like the past. I like it.

Smart guys are ok with me.

I think you hire this guy, expecting Shanahan to get a head job next year, as your OC in waiting.

Makes sense. I haven’t dug deep but is the Penn State guy actually really good? Hard to know what he’ll be.

Looks decent on small sample size. 

I read an article where Franklin was pretty high on the kid. Apparently, they were trying to get him to stay with the team throughout the playoffs despite him being in the transfer portal. That is pretty positive to me. They decided against it because his focus wasn't there because of the portal which is understandable.
