There are two reasons why we need a new external GM: 1) There can be no ties to Bryce. He needs to be evaluated without any strings attached from people who were involved in picking him. He needs to earn everything based on his play. 2) Our roster is bad due to poor drafting and FAs.

Rhule ran the ship during his tenure, with Tepper fairly hands off. The Frank and Fitt show was a flaming turd and Tepper stepped in. IF the GM drafts well and the HC shows team improvement I believe Tepper will step back a bit. Is he a bit too hands on? Yes. Is it much different from other owners? Probably not.

I thought Kap was an ok QB, but if I remember correctly he was asking for the salary of a top starter, Burns style. But I might be wrong, it was a while ago.

I think Slowik is realistic. But we’ll see.

Sure, there are no guarantees that anyone will turn in to a great HC. But taking a chance on someone excelling as a OC is a darn good place to start. He won’t turn Bryce in to Stroud, I don’t think anyone expects that. But I’d rather look at what he does in his offense in terms of protecting the QB, adjustments for different opponents etc. And that has been very impressive. I think one of the main reasons we are holding on to Evero is so that a younger offensive HC can focus on the offense initially and let the defense and special teams be managed on their own, a very prudent approach for a younger coach.

Thank you

My top 3 would be Canales, Johnson and Slovik. Leaning towards Slovik as the favorite, but would be happy with any of them.

The way he sets up protection and scheme around pressure is very impressive

The interesting thing with Slowik is that his current team did a lot of analysis on the QBs in last years draft. So he should be very familiar with Bryce. Not saying he likes or dislikes Bryce, but he knows more about him that most other coaches.

I have a feeling Harbaugh will go back to Michigan, but maybe this is the year?

Belichick is still a fantastic defensive coach, but Atlanta needs help on offense. So I’m not super concerned about it. I would be more concerned if they hired Harbaugh.

LaFleur has done an impressive job post Rodgers in Green Bay

Does it feel like if we had a veteran and he could sit for a year or two he would be a great pick, but drafting him to compete with Bryce is a stretch? I really want the best G/C at 33.

Hopefully they’re allowing Campen to interview elsewhere as well

If he brings his dad to coach the o-line and Jake Browning to compete with Bryce, I’d be all in tbh.

Or, you can hope he does some good hires this time and our division rivals mess it up. Now that would be much better. And let me know if I need to repeat that slower…

Yup. Hoping we will fail for years just to be able to rub it in Tepper’s face is super weird.

McCarthy is interesting. When I’ve seen him play I’ve never been that impressed. But instead of his surroundings helping him, maybe it has held him back? Maybe he could have done a lot more if asked to? Or maybe I’m just completely overthinking this?

That what I thought as well, thanks for jumping in

I thought they had an upgraded weight room etc. But my point is that he would promise to give them what they need. For Reich, as an example, there was no cap on spending on coaches.

I’m curious about him essentially storming out from/taking his ball and going home from his last two jobs. Is he a difficult guy to work with?

Except the Chargers

The best thing Tepper can do is to tell any HC candidate that money is not an issue, he will supply any resources they might need for success, such as facilities, equipment, staff etc. I think those things resonate well.
