Hard to disagree with this. ?....
OC of the Raiders, Bill Musgrave is being let go. For whatever reason, the Raiders have decided not to extend Musgrave's contract, and will let the QB coach take the reigns of the silver and black offense. Kinda surprising seeing how well the Raiders' offense has performed and the growth of Carr under Musgrave's watch. I wonder if he will be an option for Jets OC slot.

Jets to interview Denver Running Backs Coach for OC Position
Jets to interview Denver Running Backs Coach for OC Position
The New York Jets are planning to interview Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville for their vacant offensive-coordinator position, a source confirmed.
Studesville, 49, is a well-regarded assistant who has spent the past seven seasons with the Broncos. Prior to that, he was a running backs coach for the Bills (2004-2009) and the Giants (2001-2003). He never has held the title of offensive coordinator.
His status with the Broncos is up in the air because they have a new coach, Vance Joseph, who was introduced Thursday.
The Jets' top choice to replace the retired Chan Gailey was John DeFilippo, the Eagles' quarterbacks coach, but their interview request was denied by the Eagles. They also expressed interest in Raiders quarterbacks coach Todd Downing, prompting the Raiders to promote him to offensive coordinator.
The Studesville interview was first reported by KUSA TV in Denver.

Eric Studesville Bio from Denver Broncos Webpage
Eric Studesville is in his seventh season as running backs coach for the Denver Broncos in 2016 after he was hired by the club on Jan. 23, 2010.
Studesville is in his 16th season coaching running backs in the NFL and 20th overall year in the league. He spent six seasons (2004-09) coaching running backs in Buffalo following a three-year stint (2001-03) in that capacity with the New York Giants. Studesville’s NFL coaching career began in 1997 with Chicago following six years working at the collegiate level.
He has coached three Pro Bowl selections during his 15 seasons as an NFL running backs coach: Marshawn Lynch (2008), Willis McGahee (2011) and C.J. Anderson (2014). During that time, Studesville has guided five individuals to a total of nine 1,000-yard rushing seasons with McGahee (3), Tiki Barber (2), Lynch (2), Knowshon Moreno (1) and Fred Jackson (1) reaching the mark. His running backs have registered 56 individual 100-yard rushing efforts—a total that includes 24 by McGahee and 12 by Barber.
Studesville helped a Broncos ground attack in 2015 that improved drastically through the course of Denver’s championship season. After ranking 29th in the NFL in rushing (86.0 ypg) through the first 10 weeks of the season, the Broncos improved their rushing totals by nearly 50 yards per game during the last seven weeks to rank seventh in the league (135.1 ypg) during that span.
Ronnie Hillman (4) and Anderson (2) combined for six individual 100-yard rushing games to tie for the third-most 100-yard efforts by an NFL team in 2015. The duo was particularly effecting late in games as they each totaled 228 rushing yards in the fourth quarter to tie for the seventh-highest totals in the NFL.
Anderson led all NFL backs in rushing attempts (54) and rushing yards (234) during the 2015 postseason, including a 23-carry, 90-yard effort in Super Bowl 50 against Carolina in which he helped seal the win with a 2-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
In 2014, Studesville coached a running back group that helped the club transition to an effectively balanced offensive unit during the second half of the season. After ranking 27th in the NFL in rushing (89.9 ypg) through Week 11, Denver’s emphasis on the ground game produced 147.7 yards per contest during the final six weeks of the season to rank sixth in the league during that span.
Anderson, who didn’t make his first career start until Week 11 in 2014, led the NFL with 709 yards from scrimmage (472 rush / 237 rec.) during the month of November and tied for the league lead in touchdowns (7) in December. The second-year player became just the fifth undrafted running back in NFL history to earn a Pro Bowl selection.
In 2013, Studesville’s running back group contributed to Denver’s NFL-record scoring offense (606 pts.). Moreno became the first player in Broncos history to post 1,000 yards rushing (1,038) and 500 yards receiving (548) while ranking second on the club with 13 total touchdowns. Rookie Montee Ball finished second on the team with 559 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in addition to leading the NFL with a 6.6-yard rushing average during the last five weeks of the regular season.
Denver’s running backs in 2012 battled through injuries and youth to provide an effective force for Denver’s fourth-ranked offense. McGahee totaled 731 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 167 carries (4.4 avg.) in 10 games before being placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. After eight weeks as a gameday inactive, Moreno took over as the starter and ranked sixth in the NFL in rushing (85.0 ypg) over the final six weeks of the regular season and finished the year with 138 rushes for 525 yards (3.8 avg.) and four scores.
Hillman, the NFL’s youngest player during the 2012 campaign, contributed 330 yards and a touchdown on 85 carries (3.9 avg.), while running back Lance Ball (158 yds., TD) and fullback Jacob Hester (81 yds., 2 TDs) provided depth and production for the unit.
The Broncos’ stable of running backs in 2011 led the way for the NFL’s top rushing attack as the club set a team record averaging 164.5 yards per game on the ground. McGahee, who signed with Denver as a free agent after spending time with Studesville in Buffalo, tied for the NFL lead with seven 100-yard rushing games. With his 1,199 rushing yards on the year, he joined Ricky Watters as the only players in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season with three different teams.
In his first season with Denver in 2010, Studesville helped Moreno become the fifth player in franchise history to record 1,000 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two NFL seasons. He was named the team’s fourth interim head coach and 13th head coach overall in team history on Dec. 6, 2010, serving the last four weeks of the season in that capacity and earning his first win as an NFL head coach vs. Houston on Dec. 26, 2010.
With the Bills, Studesville had a 1,000-yard rusher in five of his six seasons, including one during each of the last three years, and coached Lynch to a Pro Bowl selection in 2008. Both McGahee (2004-05) and Lynch (2007-08) cleared the 1,000-yard mark in each of their first two seasons, with McGahee’s 2,375 yards marking a team record for a player’s first two years and ranking 16th in league annals for that category.
Studesville was promoted to running game coordinator in 2008, a year that saw Lynch become the first Buffalo running back in five years to earn a Pro Bowl nomination after totaling his second consecutive 1,000-yard effort. Lynch (1,036 yds.) and Jackson (500 yds.) formed one of the top rushing duos in the NFL that year, and the two also combined for 84 receptions that led league rushing tandems.
In 2007, Studesville oversaw Lynch’s adjustment to the NFL and helped the 12th overall pick lead AFC rookies in rushing with 1,115 yards. Lynch averaged 85.7 rushing yards per game to rank seventh overall in the NFL (min. 10 GP) and led the league in rushing attempts per game (21.5).
Studesville joined the Bills as running backs coach in 2004 and instructed McGahee in his first year, helping the 23rd overall pick become the fourth rookie in team history to reach 1,000 rushing yards (1,128) and tie a club rookie record with 13 rushing touchdowns. McGahee rushed for at least 100 yards in his first three starts, becoming only the third back since the 1970 NFL merger to accomplish that feat.
From 2001-03, Studesville coached the Giants’ running backs and helped Barber post two 1,000-yard rushing efforts while ranking seventh in the league in yards per rush (4.6) and ninth in rushing yards (3,468). Barber also led all NFC running backs (3rd in NFL) with 210 receptions and placed fifth in the league with 5,103 yards from scrimmage during that three-year period.
Studesville began his NFL career with the Bears, working with the club during its 1996 training camp as part of the NFL minority coaching fellowship and spending 1997-2000 in Chicago handling offensive quality control duties.
Before moving into the NFL coaching ranks, Studesville was the secondary coach at Kent State University (1995-96) and Wingate University (1994). He worked at the University of North Carolina as a video assistant from 1992-93 after serving as a graduate assistant in 1991 at the University of Arizona, where he earned a master’s degree in exercise physiology.
A defensive back at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Studesville graduated from the school with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. Born May 29, 1967, in Madison, Wis., Studesville is married to Staci, and the couple has a daughter, Sydni, and a son, Eric Jr.

so far we got two good hires and a mystery interview...
a bridge coach that will work with the front seven and somebody that hopefully can fix our secondary...
this interview shows that TB & company know the best feature of our offense is our rushing attack... If to find someone that will emphasize the run, then again just an interview...

I don't understand the Studesville interview, because right now you need someone who has worked with QBs.
As for DeFillipo, how exactly can the Eagles get away with not allowing the Jets to interview him? It would be for a promotion. You aren't supposed to need permission when you are interviewing a guy for a promotion (i.e., position coach to coordinator, coordinator to HC).

i thought that was the case, but it appears the rules were changed as too many teams were using the "assistant head coach" label to get around this. so now unless it is a head coach, all other coaches are the same, so it's considered a lateral move from position coach to coordinator. you are considered either a head coach or an assistant coach, assistant being position coaches and coordinators.
I would love us to bring in and hire Musgrave or go with a younger QB coach with either a WCO pedigree or someone that will run Charlie Weiss Offense as Josh McDaniels and Bill O'Brien do.
My wild card pick would be Sean Ryan. Currently the WR coach for the Texans.....
here is a link so you can see his resume..... I like this guy... a young, not on anyones radar kind of guy

what does that say about Petty then.... why waste his talent also and then hand cuff him like they did!
Well, they had a point. Some teams were abusing the "assistant head coach" title.
difference with Petty he was already comfortable in this system, not identical but the similarities he ran at Baylor made it more of an opportunity to step in when he did... Petty needed to learn recognition skills (reading defenses), understanding coverage and where to or not to throw too... one season being basically the scout quarterback allowed him to work against our defense which helped him develop... For Bryce live reps in a system he was comfortable was worth the struggle he went through, so he can create tape to study and correct his misgivings...
Hackenberg has a solid foundation able to recognize defensive schemes... Christian has to redevelop his footwork and confidence... To make him learn one offense, knowing they were likely going to change the game plan the following year would be too much to put on his plate... Running the scout team allowed him to work on footwork and confidence even if the OC and QB coach were not coaching him per say... Heading into the off season he knows he has a ways to go but watching players like Bilal Powell, Quincy Enunwa and even newcomer Austin S. Jenkins that unlike after his freshman season he has security options to work with... Chemistry and continuity he will build upon this off season, OTAs and training camp...

No idea. I just know he was rumored to have an interview but decided to stay RB coach in Denver.
