So as we know, the players get about 55% of revenues... so when the cap is increasing roughly 20 million based on shared revenue increases, front offices will see a ballpark 16 million dollar increase in their funds... now some of that will get eaten up by cost increases and staff raises, but its reasonable to think there is a solid 5-8 million dollars they should have to play with, so adding to the actual coaching staff is completely doable
Here are some areas to potentially add to and get real results:
1. An assistant head coach. The position has been vacant since john Mitchell retired. My suggestion would be a offensive guy to pair with Tomlin... there are a metric tom of young offensive coordinators that you could gamble on abd say Tomlin was " mentoring" them.. or you can go get an old vet who can keep Tomlin grounded... this would be the best way to buffer Tomlin's power without utterly kneecapping him.
2. A senior defensive assistant with differing expertise than Tomlin's skillset.. this is the best way for the defensive concepts to grow if they arent changing DCs
3. An assistant STC... Danny Smith always has some part of special teams sucking... but people focus on whatever he is doing well... last year our return game was absolute crap... so get a guy to focus on returns and let Danny chew bubble gum while running the coverage and kicking units
4. One extra assistant on D and O... I suggest an assistant DL coach and an assistant WR/TE coach.
5 spend a million bucks or so on a state of the art game strategy analytics crew... break down every thing your opponent does in every situation as well as what your staff does and make sure you eradicate the predictability and unprepared situations you find yourself in late season every year...
