    I kind of like the idea of Bobby Morris. He's taken several less heralded RBs and helped to develop them. Terrell Davis and Alfred Morris to name a couple.

    Don't know how I missed him, could have sworn that list started with Byner but I agree, I think I'd have to go Turner too.

    The Minnesota guy is out. Any coach can look good with AP toting the rock!

    If Byner and Munchak work well together, then that could be advantageous.

    Bobby Morris has an impressive resume. You never know with coaches, though - I think having the ability to coach up players is a huge part to the job, but getting on board with the direction the HC/OC is going is also crucial. There's no reason why he couldn't succeed here with Leveon Bell, and maybe LSH and Dwyer, though.

    Wonder if Franco or the Bus would be a good RB coach?

    Maybe if they did some coaching apprenticeships, worked their way up through some lower level jobs and then saw what the results were we would know.
    Alternatively, we could just presume their ability on the basis of their playing, as that's pretty much the same as coaching, except for how it's completely different.

    I'd imagine Franco's hands are full owning the Pittsburgh Passion. And if his hands aren't full, then why own them hur hur

    Does Lori Burkholder still play for the passion? My niece played Basketball with her at Carmichael high. Just hit me, Bet not. That was 1980 or 90. I do think she wore number 36 though too for the passion

    I'm not one to go for recent ex players, but since some people are asking for the bus, how bout Willie Parker? IIRC Parker has actually done some coaching internships, and the bus prolly has taught Parker everything he knows.

    WM was fired by the ravens since ray rice had a bad year. I'd take him, because rice has gotten somewhat used up and when rice was in his prime and setting the world on fire Montgomery was his coach too. remember for years rice ate the league up with the run and pass. they had o-line problems and lost a defense and lost some wr's. their downfall wasn't all because of the run game.

    skip peete was the cowgirls rb's coach fired. dallas had a good run game when they used it. that was the problem.:cool:

    Highly unlikely, but he's got some coaching experience under his belt...

    I will tell you this as a high school Sr she was a knock out. I know her history and have seen her pic so lately

    edit: yes it is a small world

    Just checked passion page. No mention of LB after the 2013 season. Think she retired. She played over 20 years!
