Jimmy Raye is amazing.

[Basileus777]

In Singletary’s first full season last year, offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye, one of the more respected veteran coaches in the league, was calling plays from the coach’s box upstairs. Raye would call plays down to offensive assistant Jason Michael, who would then send the play into the quarterback. That system worked effectively even at times when Raye struggled to find exactly the right play or say it exactly the right way.


“It seems like Jimmy calls plays from memory a lot of the time and not exactly the way it’s written down,” said one of the aforementioned sources, adding that the plays often get garbled. “He knows the plays and he knows the right thing to call, but he’s fumbling through his papers and it’s like, ‘Hey, we need to get a play called.’ ”

Michael, who worked closely with Raye, was good at filling the gaps in communication. However, one of the problems created by the Raye-Michael relationship was that it began to alienate quarterback coach Mike Johnson, whose involvement in building the game plan had diminished. In addition, some players began to resent Raye’s tendency to blame them if things went wrong.


As a result, several players went to Singletary this offseason to complain about Raye and the overall situation. Singletary’s solution was to change the mechanics of how the plays were sent in. He replaced Michael, who is still on staff, with Johnson in the play-calling process. On Sunday, that became a problem because Johnson couldn’t decipher what Raye was saying during tense moments when the Seattle crowd was making noise. Singletary was seen several times yelling at Johnson on the sideline when plays didn’t get relayed in a timely fashion.


The fear among those who know the situation is that this could put Raye, Johnson and Singletary at odds with each other. Worse, it could undermine the already tepid trust the players have in the coaching staff.

This is some amazing shit here. San Francisco pretty much has the worst coaching staff in the NFL. Somehow Singletary has managed to become a poor man's Herm Edwards.

When asked why Brian Westbrook didnt see any playing time last Sunday, NFL 49er Insider Matt Maiocco replied:

Jimmy Raye has not figured out a way to get him involved. When Westbrook came to the 49ers, Raye said he did not know much about Westbrook, so he was going to have to see him in practice and decide how best to use him. Westbrook has not been 100-percent healthy, so that feeling-out process has been stalled. Also, Frank Gore is not a liability on any down. He's the team's best running back on base downs, short yardage and third downs. But, still, they must find a way to get both of them on the field at the same time. Seeing Westbrook sit all 60 minutes in the opener was unacceptable.

there is 8 years of footage on him you JA

Wow, sounds like the owner needs to step in and make an immediate change.

this quote pretty much sums up his "professionalism":

“It seems like Jimmy calls plays from memory a lot of the time and not exactly the way it’s written down,” said one of the aforementioned sources, adding that the plays often get garbled. “He knows the plays and he knows the right thing to call, but he’s fumbling through his papers and it’s like, ‘Hey, we need to get a play called.’ ”

EPIC

how in the name of **** do you hire and allow an OC to call plays that exist only in his ****ing mind because he never bothered to learn the team's OWN ****ING PLAYBOOK?


and why would you tolerate it for more than 1 game?


jesus god Haley would scale the outside of the coaches box and eat Raye's face off like something out of Resident Evil....after 1 play

because singletary is in love with him, and his pound it up the middle game

If what is said in this article is true.... it's insane. I mean... I know a little bit about how people like Mike Martz or Al Saunders work... and to think that someone that works like this guy supposedly does even exists in the NFL.... it's crazy.

There you have it, people of the "12th man." Make lots of noise and add to the confusion. Hopefully J-Raye is still around by Week #3. But after a high profile loss to the Saints...in light of the preseason expectations, he might not make it.

LOTS OF NOISE, Arrowhead!

Raye probably meant to tell Glen Coffee to run five yards and then cut left, but Coffee thought he said, "You've been cut, now leave".
