Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host, Corey
Evans. Thank you for listening to this week's show. I'm discussing twenty twenty
four NFL head coach changes. There were eight of them, which in turn
has amounted to significant fantasy football winners and losers on both the offensive and defensive
side of the football. For this episode, of course, Fantas Football Oriented
is going to be focused on the skill position players on offense, so I'll
break down the eight head coaches in addition to any new ocs that being offensive
coordinators and what it means for us in redraft and dynasty fantasy football. If
you like my content are a fan of my work, please take a few
seconds of your time drop a five star review, and Apple po podcast or
Spotify helps me out a ton in terms of ranking among others in the industry.
One last note is don't miss out on my February promotion of twenty percent
off all roster calls. Those are over on Google Meet thirty bucks for thirty
minutes, fifty bucks for one hour. Take twenty percent off of those rates.

slash x or even the Dynasty dude over on Facebook. So these coaches
the changes, They're in no specific order or ranking, but up first,
I have Los Angeles Chargers hiring Jim Harbaugh. The OC brought in is Greg
Roman, who was actually Baltimore's OC from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty two.
Harbaugh was last a head coach in the NFL from twenty eleven to twenty fourteen
with the forty nine Ers before returning to the college level that landscape to coach
Michigan from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty three. Greg Roman, right, recall,
was with Jim Harbaugh as the OC with the forty nine Ers from twenty
eleven to twenty fourteen, so the hiring of both makes sense. Jim wanting
to bring back Greg to reunite from their San Francisco days back from twenty eleven
to twenty fourteen is a logical approach to coaching staff. The interesting part of
the forty nine Ers from that span of four seasons was the NFL rushing attempt
ranking they per year in rushing attempts ranked three, seven, three, and
nine to me from a winner perspective, value wise, it's whoever ends up
being the LA Chargers RB one if that's going to continue. Greg Roman,
also a Baltimore was more of a run centric than past oriented play caller from
an OC perspective. Austin Ecklerbrios the UFA alomic, Joshua Kelly. Isaiah Spiller
is the only running back under contract of notes until twenty twenty six, so
Eckler and Kelly being unrestricted free agents could mean they're resigned and or let go
to another direction or franchise. Elijah Dotson could be a sleeper to monitor heading
into next season as well, but more likely than not, the Chargers,
in my mind, are going to resign Eckler or make a splash at running
back during free agency or the draft itself. Harbaugh came out this weekend actually
and said that resigning Eckler is certainly a possibility. That's good to hear that
the new Brass sales interest in bringing back Eckler after what was one of his
worst campaigns as a professional running back, at least from an efficiency standpoint.
In twenty twenty three. A loser from this equation I think could be Quentin
Johnston after already a letdown rookie campaign with only thirty eight receptions for four hundred
and thirty one yards and two receiving touchdowns. Jim Harbaugh has no ties to
qj's draft capital from a year ago, as he twenty first overall picked the
Chargers clean house front office coaching staff together. In fact, the entire Chargers
passing attack could take a step back even with Justin Herbert's presence under Harbaugh,
depending on how involved he is with the schemer play calling, because he used
such a run oriented attack while at Michigan, and we know, as I
recall, Greg Roman also has that run first mindset, established a run he
did with Baltimore and San Francisco from twenty eleven to twenty fourteen. It's going
to be very eaching to see how the Chargers coaching staff altogether decide to move
forward with the fifth overall pick in this year's draft. Do you select a
wide receiver like Marvin Harrison Junior available or even Maliite Nighbors at LSU, a
tight end like Brock Bower from Georgia, or trade back for additional draft capital.
Even taking a BPA best player available at any position approach is certainly in
the realm of possibilities. You have both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams aging approaching
inspiring contracts. If Quentn Johnson isn't going to pan out as a replacement to
one or both of Keenan Allen Mike Williams, then all it's really left is
Joshua Palmer. So offensive pick fifth overall seems likely, if not probable,
but we'll see what happens. Up next. Is Seattle hiring Mike McDonald OC
brought in is Ryan Grubb, former offensive coordinator for the University of Washington who
past couple of years has been pretty prolific in terms of airing the ball out
downfield. McDonald brings a defensive minded coaching background to Seattle, as the Baltimore
Rave his most recent DC defensive coordinator from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three,
which means whoever Seattle were to bring on as if it's a coordinator which
we now know is Ryan Grubb, is going to end up having a heavy
influence on both play calling and player utilization. Think Buffalo for an example of
Sean McDermott being a defensive mind of coach and then having Ken Dorsey or even
Joe Brady as the most recent offensive coordinators. The winner from the Mike McDonald
hiring is clearly the Seattle defense special teams. For those of playing IDP leagues,
that's great news music to your ears. Also though it's dk Metcalf,
Jysn and Tyler Lockett, even Kenneth Walker, perhaps Zach Charbonnet at running back
because of the aforemention Ryan Grub what he did with a vertical offensive scheme at
Washington. Washington ranked seventh and thirteenth and scoring over the past two seasons in
college football, you had Roman Doonzay Jalen Polk, Jaylen McMillan, of course
Michael Pennis junior. So for comparison's sake, that should blend and or transfer
pretty well to Seattle and those offensive playmakers. The loser, in my mind
is Geno Smith. Whenever a new coaching regime is brought in, it usually
doesn't always, but could result in a change of tide or scenery at quarterback
unless it's a young talent who's a building block for the franchise to utilize.
That's not Geno Smith at this stage of his career, since he enters age
thirty four season and is coming off a somewhat disappointing twenty twenty three campaign which
he threw for three thousand, six hundred and twenty four yards passing twenty touchdowns
to nine interceptions, sixty four point seven completion percentage rates, seven point three
yards pass attempt NA thirty seven one fifty five one rushing log as the quarterback
nineteen and six points for passing touchdown league, so a quarterback two barely at
that Smith is under contract with Seattle til twenty twenty six. However, the
Seahawks can move on this offseason for seventeen point four million in dead cap.
That's a direction Mike McDonald could pursue, depending on what's path the organization goes
with pick sixteen in the first round, with quarterbacks such as JJ McCarthy Bonix
Pannick Junior possibly being available in that range, it does sound like, based
on recent reports that McCarthy might not slide past pick twelve meeting, the NFL
could be higher on him as a long term prospect developing player than us in
fantasy rankings. Nothing against Jaji McCarthy, it's just hard to evaluate him from
adnasty point of view because Michigan was so run focused that they didn't let him
really maximize his skill set. All that being said, don't be surprised if
Gino Smith starts for the Seahawks this upcoming year until rookie quarterback is developed behind
him to eventually take over. How soon that occurs, nobody knows. However,
we do know that Mike McDonald's won't have a key role or control of
that path for Gino Smith to be eventually replaced. Up next is Washington hiring
Dan Quinn. The offensive coordinator brought in was Cliff Kingsbury. He was a
USC senior offensive assistant last year in twenty twenty three, and, as we
all know, previously the head coach for the Arizona Cardinals from twenty nineteen to
twenty twenty two. Dan Quinn has been the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator for twenty
twenty one to twenty two ty three and has been in the conversation earning another
full time gig he has now. Prior to that, he was the head
coach for Atlanta from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty. Eric Bienemy was not brought
back as part of Washington's coaching staffs. What it appears it's going to be
Kingsbury's show on offense. We know he has a good creator offensive mind fizzled
out a bit in Arizona, but it's a strong hire and a good direction
for Washington's franchise to take. The loser in this equation is Sam Howell,
because Washington holds the second overall pick in this year's draft and is virtually guaranteed
to select. You'd think Jaden Daniels at LSU or Drake May out of North
Carolina trading up to reunite with Caleb Williams with Cliff Kingsbury, both of them
from USC cannot be ruled out either. Howell was much better in fantasy than
real life this past season, with three thousand, nine hundred and forty six
yards passing twenty one touchdowns to twenty one interceptions offul ratio. There completed sixty
to three point four per sevens passes four to six point four yards past attempt,
and shipped in a forty eight, two sixty three and five rushing line
as he quarterback twelve and a six point per passing league, so a back
end quarterback one. He showed enough that being Sam Howell to potentially earn orlak
Shahn as a starter for another NFL team. He does not turn twenty four
until September. Next year's quarterback class is viewed as much weaker than twenty twenty
four, so don't give up on how on superflex. He's undoubtedly, though,
a loser in the Dan Quinn and Cliff Kingsbury hirings, because if Washington
passes on quarterback at pick two overall, it would shock the entire world.
The next hiring was Tennessee with Brian Callahan. The OC brought in with Callahan
was Nick Holes, the former Jacksonville Jaguars passing game coordinator. Callahan made a
name for himself to become a head coaching candidate while serving as the OC ver
Cinnati from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three. A winner in this is Will
Levis. Firing Mike Vrabel to bring in Callahan and Nickoles is a commitment to
the future. Levis was inconsistent sure as a rookie, with only one thousand,
eight hundred eight yards passing eight touchdowns, four picks, fifty eight point
four, completion percentage rates seven point one yes, best attempt twenty five fifty
seven, and one rushing score. That being said, he does possess the
required skills to be at least a quality NFL starter. The consistency needs to
improve. The second rounder out of Kentucky in twenty twenty three will not turn
twenty five until June, so if Tennessee is doing a soft rebuild here kicking
it off with Will Levis, then Callahan and Nickoles are a good combination to
put him on the right track. Another winner, I think it's Taj Spears.
Callahan was able to maximize Joe Mixon's versatility in Cincinnati and could do the
same with Spears in twenty twenty four, with or without Derrick Henry pending as
a free agent. Taj impressed as a rookie in twenty twenty three with production
of one hundred four fifty three and two in the ground it's four and a
half yards per clip and then fifty two three, eighty five and one as
a receiver, really good numbers for running back. Seventy targets finished as the
PPR RB thirty four, that should skyrocket if the usage increases. The sophomore
Spears could be a breakout candidate who vaulted RB two ranking territory, assuming the
degenerative knee woes cooperate. That's the one red flag or concern with longevity trading
for and or rostering Spears. But if we know Brian Kalahans went to commit
to Tajy Spears at least as a one A or one B in Tennessee's offense
among running backs, then it's going to spell good things for his fantasy potential.
Time for quick break. I'll be back to discuss the other head coaching
changes between twenty four, the value winners and losers that correspond with them.

in a matter of a month year my pre draft rankings. Time for that
quick break and I'll be right back. The Carolina Panthers hired Dave Canalis brought
in Oc brad Izick, who was Tampa bay'sed by receiver coach in twenty twenty
three. Makes sense that Dave Canalis wanted to bring him. Canalis was the
oce Tampa Bay in twenty twenty three, he burst on the NFL scene.
He resurrected Baker Mayfield's career in the process, as he proceeded to deliver stats
of four thousand, forty four yards passing twenty eight touchdowns, ten interceptions,
completing sixty four point three percent of his passes for seven point one attempt and
sixty two a bucks, sixty three and one score on the ground as the
quarterback ten and six point for passing touchdown formats. That is a quarterback one,
folks. Baker Mayfield legitimately went from being almost out of the league or
perennial backup to in our good graces as a quarterback one in fantasy football.
Sustainable that's a question, but at least in twenty twenty three under Dave Canalis,
Baker Mayfield was able to turn around his career for the positive. That
means a winner, at least on paper from this hiring. It has to
be Bryce Young. After being a former HEISMC Trophy winner in Alabama and first
overall pick last year, it's safe to say that Young was a huge disappointment
during his rookie campaign. Bryce looked timid, pressured, even lost at times
in the pocket that forced bad decision making. It led the output of two
thousand injured and seventy seven yards passing eleven touchdowns to ten picks awful completed fifty
nine point eight percip passes for a dreadful five point five yards for pass attempt.
There was no downfield airing and out last season, and then thirty nine
rushes for two hundred fifty three scoreless yards. It was downright bad with no
excuses for those who invested in early to mid first and Young during Super Flex
rookie drafts last year. The hope is that Dave Canalis can slow oh the
NFL game down for Bryce Young in order for him to make quicker decisions and
recaptures Alabama confidence playing style and real time ability to process reads downfield and or
defensive alignment to make audibles or even go through progressions. That has to change
and improve, and I think it will in twenty twenty four. Bryce Young,
his arrow can only go up in dynasty, not down to this point.
Up next is Atlanta hiring Raheem Morris, with the other coordinator being brought
in of Zach Robinson, the former LA Rams pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Raheem Morris himself spent twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three as the La
Rams DC, so he brought in Zach Robinson to two together. He does
not have a lot of prior NFL head coach experience, but was the head
coach for Tampa Bay from twenty nine to twenty eleven. The winners from this
are clearly b John Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts. They've escaped Arthur
Smith. All three players were misused unutilized under Arthur Smith. It's a breath
of fresh air that Raheem Morris called out Bijon and London specifically at his introductory
press conference as obvious playmakers who need to be expanded rollw That is amazing.
Finally a head coach that understands all of us do watching the games, but
for some reason out the Smith thought he was smarter than everybody else, resulting
in him being fired. Sure's the ABC now in Pittsburgh, that's their problem
now and are struggling fantasy, but things looking up in Atlanta. The loser,
though, is doesn't Ritter, the former third rounder is a Natty has
proven to be unreliable as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Atlanta holds the
eighth overall selection in this year's draft, could be used select the rookie quarterback
if they choose to go that route, or as leverage of trade up or
even package something together for a veteran quarterback who is on thin ice with their
current team while justin fields. Either way, it seems probable that Ritter's days
as a Falcons primary quarterback are now over. Expect new OC Zach Robinson to
have an influence on the path forward and development of the new quarterback for Atlanta,
based on the experience with Sean McVay let alone Matthew Stafford. Next is
the Las Vegas Raiders, hiring Antonio Pierce full time. The offensive coordinator is
Luke Getsi, the former Kacko Bears OC from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty
three, ended up being a failed stint after via success he had the tenure
as a passing gain coordinator with Green Bay from twenty twenty to twenty twenty one.
Pierce filled in admirably once Josh McDaniels was fired last season, Players themselves
advocated for Peers to earn the position. Permanently and the persuasion commitment to him
coaching worked out as team owner Mark Davis prompted to hire Pierce in twenty twenty
four. A winner from this could be a few, but I want a
pitpoint one name. That's Samir White. With Josh Jacobs out from he's fifteen
to eighteen, White filled in as RB one for the Raiders and ranked as
a PPR RB twelve, seventeen, sixteen, and twenty over that four game
span. Josh Jacob sure could returns a free agent to the Raiders in twenty
twenty four and receive plenty of volume. If he doesn't, then White is
in a position to operate as a strong RB two in fantasy circles. From
both a volume and production perspective, we saw it, albeit smallest amplesides on
the stretch of last year, but White was a solid prospect out of school
who came with their ability concerns. The talent was never in question, and
last, but not least, the New England Patriots hired Drod Mayo, with
offensive coordinator being brought in of Alex van Pelt, the former Clean Browns OC
from twenty twenty to twenty twenty three. Keep in mind, though, that
Van Pelt never called plays devils responsibility if head coach Kevin Stefanski he handles responsibilities.
A loser from this hiring for both Mayo and Van Pelt is mac Jones
and'bailly Zappi. Because New England has a third overall pick in this year's
draft and will almost certainly select a franchise caliber quarterback or trade out of the
pick. There's some early speculation that they could select the tackle. I think
that'd be a massive mistake that again, New England without Bill Belichick could be
a train wreck for years to come. The Patriots suddenly sport one of the
league's worst rosters from top to bottom. Therefore, Grod Mayo and Van Pelt
have their work cut out for them in order to make wholesale improvements on both
the offensive and defensive side of the football. From a fantasy perspective, Romandre
Stevenson seems like the safest commodity to roster, while wide receiver needs a complete
overhaul. Outside of perhaps to Mario Douglas, New England is a wasteland.
Hopefully Mayo and Van Pelt could turn things around, but it's not going to
be an Overnet tensation for example, like the Houston Texans, what Tamiko Ryan
is able to do in a matter of one or two seasons, that will
do it? We'll be all enjoyed. My twenty twenty four NFL head coach
changes episode value winners and losers from a fantasy lens. A quick recap of
all eight changes. The Chargers hied Jim Harbaugh. I think a winner is
going to be whatever running back is brought in his RB one loser Quentin Johnston
Seattle, Mike McDonald winner being Seattle's DST, as well as IDP players Metcalf,
JSN Lockett and loser Gino Smith Washington brought on Dan Quinn. The loser
there being Sam Howell Tennessee, Brian Callahan, winners, Will Levis, Tajy
Spears, Carolina, Dave Canalis, winner Bryce Young, Atlanta hired Raheem Morris,
winners Bijon Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts loser doesn't Rinter the Las
Vegas Raiders, Antonio Pierce, winner, Zamir White, and then New England
Grod Mayo. Losers being Mac Jones and Bailey Zappi, Ormandre Stevenson could be
a winner, but that's up for debate depending on what direction the franchise takes
at all positions this offseason. Thank you all again. Now that the super
