Not surprising. Callahan sure seems to make the rounds, 3 years each with the Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins.

Redskins were completely devastated on the OL this year and yet AP rushed for over 1000 yards and they were actually competitive for a lot of football games even with a million holes to fill. I thin Bill did a pretty good job coaching them.Not surprising. Callahan sure seems to make the rounds, 3 years each with the Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins.
Hey, are you a fellow Rams AND Huskers fan? Growing up in South Dakota, I was one of only two that I ever knew, so you'd be #3.Agreed. This is awesome! I'm sad to be losing Zac from the Rams, but very happy for him! Go Bengals!
By most all accounts, he is an excellent asst. Not so much as a head coach.
Of course he is ... more than excellent. Arguably the best o-line coach in the NFL but invariably this is going to resurrect the FHCBC era. One I’d like to forget.

Callahan has been around long enough that there aren't a lot of secrets left. If you look at what he's done wherever he's been, there are two incontrovertible patterns that emerge:Redskins were completely devastated on the OL this year and yet AP rushed for over 1000 yards and they were actually competitive for a lot of football games even with a million holes to fill.

You left out the part where he is a multimillionaire too. Thanks Cornhuskers and RaidersCallahan has been around long enough that there aren't a lot of secrets left. If you look at what he's done wherever he's been, there are two incontrovertible patterns that emerge:
He might be right: It's possible that he's a genius who is just too smart for us mere mortals to execute his vision. He also might be a little too self-absorbed for those who work with him to want to put up with that kind of attitude for very long.
- He's a heck of an O-line coach. Everywhere he has been as an O-line coach, his guys have been better than they otherwise should have been.
- He's an arrogant man. I'm not sure how abrasive he is because there seems to be some mixed signals on that, but he is clearly not lacking in self-esteem when those who have worked with him have consistently said that he has a brilliant offensive mind,... and that he blames everything that goes wrong on others' inability to grasp his ideas.
There are lots of great salesman that should never be sales managers.........By most all accounts, he is an excellent asst. Not so much as a head coach.

I just hope ZT doesn’t let BC affect more than what’s is happening on the Oline and run game. Limited to that BC will make him successful. Allowing him to extend into more than that ... well ...I've worked with some brilliant people in my field that couldn't manage anything but a task or a phase of work because of their personality. I certainly think Callahan fits in that group. Some of the best managers or coaches I've worked with have the ability to communicate to everyone on their teams, regardless of their background, intelligence or experience. By most accounts O lineman are some of the smarter football players, so maybe that's partially why he can get his point(s) across to them without alienating them or pissing them off. I think his short stays with teams speaks more to his personality and how that grates on his co-workers and team management. He's just an absolute ass and that gets old.
If this plays out like the media is suggesting, he'll be in Cincinnati for a couple of years and either be an asset as an offensive line coach and more on for various reasons or be given too much power by Taylor and end up ruining the soup bringing about both of their exits. I don't see many other outcomes.
