Listen, Paul Brown was an egomaniacal dictator, but his influence on the modern passing game is immense. Brock Purdy, Brock Purdy, yada, yada, yada. I am tired of hearing that name. 🤨😁 Paul Brown also raised a parsimonious son. So that tarnishes his accomplishments. Quote
RiotAct Posted January 25 Posted January 25 damn, Sean McVay is what? 42 years old or something? And already has a hell of a set of branches on his tree. Quote

Buffalo Junction Posted January 25 Posted January 25 2 hours ago, MJS said: Cool. There is no doubt that virtually every team runs at least some west coast offense principles in their offenses. Although, I'm not sure it makes sense for the defensive coaches. It would be interesting to see if there is a similar link on the defensive side where everything stems from. A Fritz Shurmur DC tree could be interesting. It would include Jim Johnson, McDermott, etc on one branch. Bum Philips and Buddy Ryan would also be interesting. Quote

Chaos Posted January 25 Posted January 25 2 hours ago, Low Positive said: Why stop at Walsh? Walsh famously worked for Paul Brown in Cincinnati for many years and developed the "West Coast Offense" there. It really should be the Ohio River Offense, but I digress. Paul Brown's coaching tree has Walsh, Don Shula, and Chuck Knoll as its main branches. Any current NFL coach can be traced back to that. Hopefully the thread title is corrected at some point. Quote

Low Positive Posted January 25 Posted January 25 What’s interesting is that Walsh never had an OC until his final year in SF. 1 Quote

Shaw66 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Thanks for this thread. It's interesting to think about that evolution. Quote
