So as we know, the players get about 55% of revenues... so when the cap is increasing roughly 20 million based on shared revenue increases, front offices will see a ballpark 16 million dollar increase in their funds... now some of that will get eaten up by cost increases and staff raises, but its reasonable to think there is a solid 5-8 million dollars they should have to play with, so adding to the actual coaching staff is completely doable

Here are some areas to potentially add to and get real results:

1. An assistant head coach. The position has been vacant since john Mitchell retired. My suggestion would be a offensive guy to pair with Tomlin... there are a metric tom of young offensive coordinators that you could gamble on abd say Tomlin was " mentoring" them.. or you can go get an old vet who can keep Tomlin grounded... this would be the best way to buffer Tomlin's power without utterly kneecapping him.

2. A senior defensive assistant with differing expertise than Tomlin's skillset.. this is the best way for the defensive concepts to grow if they arent changing DCs

3. An assistant STC... Danny Smith always has some part of special teams sucking... but people focus on whatever he is doing well... last year our return game was absolute crap... so get a guy to focus on returns and let Danny chew bubble gum while running the coverage and kicking units

4. One extra assistant on D and O... I suggest an assistant DL coach and an assistant WR/TE coach.

5 spend a million bucks or so on a state of the art game strategy analytics crew... break down every thing your opponent does in every situation as well as what your staff does and make sure you eradicate the predictability and unprepared situations you find yourself in late season every year...

If it costs money Rooney probably won't do it.

They need to start with some subtractions and quality additions. Get some young coaches on the rise who want to reach the top of their profession.

Any restructuring that includes keeping Tomlin is DOA.

They need to start with some subtractions and quality additions. Get some young coaches on the rise who want to reach the top of their profession.

The problem is young coaches on the rise don’t want the career death that is the Tomlin coaching tree, or more accurately the Tomlin chop stick

If you are on the rise you want an environment where your voice and concepts can be heard and put to the test. I don’t think too many quality candidates are wanting to be hostage to the Mike-romanagement that is Tomlin

So I had to google what a defensive quality control coach’s duties are and it’s basically what your suggesting with point 5, their supposed to identify tendencies and patterns etc. through extensive film study of opponents. I assume they are qualified in analytics in this day and age, it also mentioned these coaches are hopeful up and comers.

I’m also guessing since they are getting their feet wet so to speak that their salary is probably at the bottom of the coaching staff. Madin’s suggestion of investing more money into this position might not be a bad idea.

Makes me wonder what Kraft and Belicheat were paying Ernie who revolutionized film analysis.

Unless the player is in atleast year 7 and past his prime or it's obviously a gross overpay. Then he'll write the check.
