Dave Toub research

[FatDT]

He's a ST coach and probably will be our next HC. Hard to know much about him. I'm looking around the internet and will be posting things as I find them.

- Andy Reid got him into the NFL in the first place, in 2003 w/the Eagles
- Andy Reid has tried to hire Toub twice since he left Philly, finally did it the third time in KC after the whole Chicago staff was let go.
- Looks for smart, tenacious, hard workers to develop.
- Values the Combine for interviews and watching player movement, but calls it "necessary evil"
- Asks a lot of players and wants players to buy into existing philosophy
- Would probably bring Kevin O'Day with him

- Toub met Reid while driving him to lunch before Reid interved for the OL coach job at UTEP
- Toub played center in college and briefly in the NFL, for the Eagles and the Rams
- He got his start as a strength and conditioning coach. Called that his first passion
- Became the Missouri Tigers' DL coach and developed Justin Smith, the All Pro that played for the Bengals and 49ers
- Coached DL there for 3 years
- Toub coached STs under John Harbaugh and DL under Tommy Brasher in the early 2000s in Philly. When Jim Johnson was the DC.
- Andy Reid thinks Toub would be good at anything, including being a HC.
