I don't get it... why Engram and not Jerry? Has anyone from our staff even approached the GOAT to see if he would be interested?

I love Jerry. He's my favorite player,but I don't honestly think any Wideout wants to run the hill these days. lol

Because Ingram is willing to put in the hours to be a coach. Not a lot of guys are willing to do that even if they are capable of teaching the position. It has to be a total commitment.

Because Jerry has never pushed to be a coach and is humble enough to be content with being the greatest player of all time.

The offensive coaching core still needed an assistant (almost a liaison) with a strong (3rd person) wealth of knowledge in WCO 'route-trees', to virtually coach up all the receiving/duel-threats on the roster (Engram fits the bill).

Our offensive/defensive staff has not had this much infrastructure, depth, and philosophical variety since Bill Walsh. (It's like the Seifert & Rhodes 'effect' on the early 80s; you have both technical, and sandlot methodologies clashing with one-another.)
