Do you understand what nepotism means? Silas was never hired or promoted by his dad. The Ryan Bros are a perfect example of what Im talking about - how did that work out? Did either Harbaugh brother hire the other? Koobs boy might be the only applicable example you gave. Yes it happens - I get it. My point is that it isnt always in the best interest of the team or with the most qualified candidate available.
It’s PFF but looks like Cleveland went from the 2nd ranked unit in 2018 to 23rd in 2019. Chargers finished dead last in 2020.
Yes, I know what Nepotism means. I assure you all those siblings and children worked with one another at some point. It also doesn't mean they are not the most qualified or not in the best interest of the team.
Did Caserio and Easterby work with Josh McDaniels? Judging how they are all "brothers" it fits the bill quite nicely.
silas was in fact hired by his dad. He was hired by his dad at 3 different coaching gigs totaling seven years. john and Jim harbaugh both got started working with their dad at Western Michigan. John followed dad to Pitt while Jim got to go the NFL. basically always goes this way. Dad gives them their first chances and they learn under them and if they are good at their job they’ll end up getting hired elsewhere

yeah i should have read the wikis - would have been a better story if he/they hadnt tagged along with daddy opening the doors for them. Not a fan of that career development. It hinders company morale and rewards guys just because of name. Not a tried and true method for success, but for some guys might be the only way. Thanks for setting it straight.
I don't like it, just so we're clear. I'm not disagreeing with your distaste for it. The thing is, lots of coaches get started this way (nepotism) but the PROBLEM is that "dad" typically puts son in high value position over other guys to help advance their career and rarely does "dad" end the experiment if they aren't good. Above we listed coaches where it's worked, but there are probably HUNDREDS of sons who have worked on "dad's" coaching staff that were useless and leached for years.
Belichick hired his son, to work with him, Andy Reid hired his son to be a coach. Mike Shanahan hired his son before he had any coaching experience and now Kyle has been succesful Marty Schottenheimer (RIP) hired his son Brian Pete Carroll hired his two sons to work with him in Seattle
