You Americans fill water buckets with a hose like the weak.  This is the key to living longer.

Brady was an assistant with the Saints in 2017-18 - more of an analyst position.  Curry and Brady have worked together.

I wonder if he and Peppers were the last two sport college athletes. They were fun to watch play basketball, especially Peppers, he was an animal in the paint.

 

Jimmy Graham and Russel Wilson come to mind off the top of my head.

I really liked Curry as a player for the Raiders. I had no idea he was coaching in the league. I'm intrigued.

QB or WR coach.  This could be a good hire.

Most like QB coach and passing game coordinator.  Works for me.  I wanted a fresh face as QB coach.

Yeah hopefully he is mean to Josh

This is an interesting hire and definitely brings a different perspective to the QB room and offense.  Honeslty I'm not impressed with the passing game or even QB play in NO under him, but I'm willing to go on faith that this could be good for Josh's development by putting someone with a very different perspective in there.  

 

It's not like he hasn't been a QB coach, and he has played in and coached in several different Offensive schems, so I think he'll bring some great knowledge and hopefully some wrinkles for Joe Brady to incorporate.  

 

QB coach, especially on teams like Buffalo, LAR, KC, etc. Are the waiting spot for OC, and he got calls for that in 2021.  He was offered to be retained in NO but take a demotion to WR coach, so I get him taking this move instead.  For Buffalo, it's a diversification move of the staffing by way of skill set and knowledge base.  While his title is QB coach, I think this is going to be a role where he will work with Brady to develop a unique passing attack to maximize our assets (whatever they happen to be post FA and Draft.) 

 

Anyone who isn't happy needs to remember that estsblished QB coaches are already OCs in waiting and lateral moves are hard, so plucking a guy from a "lower position" or who is not under contract is the only move.  I'm sure there are "I wanted x,y,z" people out there, but I'm not sure if there is a sure fire better option out there. 

 

All in all, it's intriguing... Could go well, may be ineffective and we're looking for a QB coach in 2025.

@GunnerBill where do you see a fit for him on our staff and how does this impact areas of game planning responsibility with Brady if at all?

They overlapped in Nola - so fingers crossed they work together well and are aligned in strategy (and hopefully not the current saints passing strategy)

Honestly don't know much about him. The Saints were an E-P team though so it is a schematic fit.

[The Jokeman]

Good that he has ties with Brady in NO. I'm guessing it will lead to more Saints/Sean Payton like concepts in 2024. I'll admit I don't know their offense well.

Maybe having one of the best pass catching RB's in the game (Alvin Kamara with 75 catches) had something to do with this...although Cook has a skill set that could flourish...Cook has to eliminate the drops.

ESPN may suck in other ways but they made great commercials.
