East-West Shrine Game Coaching Selection


Recommended Posts

Anybody else see that Marquice Williams will be given the nod to be the HC of the East and Justin Peele and Frank Bush will serve as coordinators? I like this from a development standpoint and wonder if AS is giving Bush a low-key look as a talent evaluator/potential DC from it all?

Pretty cool: https://shrinebowl.com/news/new-england-patriots-and-the-atlanta-falcons-coaching-staffs-to-coach-2023-east-west-shrine-bowl/

Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons will coach this year’s East team for the first time in the game’s 98-year history. The coaching staff will provide Shrine Bowl players with pro-level advisory and developmental opportunities, in addition to the once-in-a-lifetime chance to showcase their skills in front of NFL coaches.

As a development tool, the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Arthur Smith, and the head coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick, will serve as supervisors, allowing others on the staff to possibly coach up a level or to coach a new position. Belichick and Smith are expected to be at all practices, in addition to the game. The East-West Shrine Bowl will also have coaching fellows from HBCU institutions on-site to learn and develop as coaches during the week of practice. 

“The Falcons and the Patriots are two outstanding teams to be our coaching staffs for the Shrine Bowl,” said Eric Galko, director of player personnel and football operations for the Shrine Bowl. “The Patriots have a legendary track record of success and have found star players in previous Shrine Bowls, such as Tom Brady and Tyquan Thornton. The Falcons are a great organization with outstanding young talent already on their roster. Both teams are going to greatly benefit from getting to coach our players as they build their rosters in the future.”

Just means our team blew this year........don't try to find positives 

What are you even talking about?   The coaches for the East West Shrine game are selected by a panel from a group nominated by NFL teams.  It has nothing to do with record.  Directly from the ESSG web site:

      At the end of the NFL regular season, teams nominate assistant coaches who are: 

  • Excellent teachers and communicators
  • Recognized for their integrity and commitment
  • Accomplished at developing and preparing players
A panel of NFL Football Operations staff, East-West Shrine Bowl leadership and two members of the NFL’s General Managers Advisory Committee reviews and selects the game’s head coaches, who fill their 12-person staffs from among the remaining nominated assistant coaches.

And as far as positives, you really don't see the advantage of our coaching staff getting up close, hands on, extended evaluation time with players who are going to be in the draft isn't a positive?  Come on man, seriously.

God that quote kinda stung.     The Patriots are a legendary franchise who has always been able to spot talent, The Falcons are also a team in the NFL.

I don't know about that: you could just as easily paraphrase it as "The Falcons have a lot of talented players on their team and the Patriots used to as well."

Yep now go look at the staffs (I went back 10 years) and see how many made the playoffs that year.....I'd suggest you do the same
