He was known for his defense in Pittsburgh in 90s and then a decent one with Jacksonville after we let him go. His defense in Green Bay was top 5 the first couple of years but it fell off the rest of his time.

That staggering 5 year/ 9.4 million contract going to change the GDP

The best part is you build it to where X amount is guaranteed and split it across 4 years in bonus up front. But leave yourself some wiggle room year 2 just in case you need out of it.

I think he gets AJ Epenesa. He was Director of Player Personnel when he was drafted in Buffalo.

I think Shula, Minter, and even Evero have a decent shot. Could see McCarthy as an odd ball pick even though he doesn’t fit the mold. He’s from Pittsburgh and grew up a Steelers fan. Would make things interesting if Rodgers came back.

After Frank Reich, I don’t care if we are last in screens.

It makes sense but I could totally see Morgan pulling a Jalon Walker here and misdirecting and grabbing somebody else.

I’ll add that I think Buffalo will hit a slump following this. It looks like McDermott was really liked in the locker room. His last words at the press conference was “I’m standing up for Buffalo damnit” and then he got fired. Bring a guy in who finishes 7-10, that locker room will start splintering.

Joe Schoen and Brandon Beane were both underwhelming. The important thing is we have Dan who can find talent. It’s why I wasn’t worried about losing Brandt. I’d rather have the talent guy than the money guy. Both are important but one is harder to replace.

Pittsburgh would be perfect for him. I just think they will go young/first time HC like before. I think McDermott goes to Baltimore or he just sits out a season. I just don’t know what the dynamic will be with Lamar. I think next year there is a good chance: Dallas, Washington, Tampa, NYJ, Indy will be the openings and probably one more surprise. I could see him in Dallas to “fix the defense” after it struggles again this year.

I read a post from a Raiders beat reporter today, sorry can’t find it maybe one of you seen it. Anyways he said that the Raiders really like Evero, and liked him last cycle. They would probably hire him if it weren’t for the focus on developing Mendoza this upcoming season and the risk of losing an OC to a HC job after their first season together. Edit: I didn’t see the one posted at the top of the page, it literally says the same one but isn’t the same poster.

Unfortunately he will have his choice of whatever HC opening is available. My guess is Miami, Baltimore, or Pittsburgh

“How dare he speak up about the officiating”

They have about 30,000,000 which is middle of the pack and not a lot of flexibility to restructure more cap. They also have notable free agents to try to resign. -Kaden Elliss -Kyle Pitts -Elijah Wilkinson -Arnold Ebiketie -Leonard Floyd -David Onyemata -Dee Alford -Tyler Allgeier Oh and no first round pick. Bucs will implode next year, Falcons will be rebuilding. It will be us and the Saints fighting it out.

They still haven’t hired a GM yet. Ryan is just the leadership figurehead. They still need to get a GM in the building

If the Texans win today, they are going to have Stidham looking like rookie year Darnold next week.

Bad no call on broncos D too. Guy was hanging on Cooks in the end zone. No flag and had to settle for 3. Yet the Broncos got those calls on next drive.

This is their Frank Reich hire. Owner forcing DC with new HC, QB uncertainty, overhyping an underwhelming coach. I saw this movie in 2023

NFL regretting those PI calls now

Raheem Morris is the logical option. Hes already familiar with the defense, he was Evero’s boss and mentor. He is already familiar with the division. And apparently knows how to stop Tyler Shough so that’s a plus. I think Cooley follows Evero, I wouldn’t be opposed to Wash but I think there is more upset with Morris. I don’t think Flores is coming here. I wouldn’t be shocked if he backfilled Jesse Minter. Then again I could see Morris going back to LA to backfill Shula if he is hired.

This isn’t bad for us. He had a couple of good seasons with Baker, Chubb, and one of the best defenses in the last 5 years. Falcons have a bunch of guys to resign and are in QB purgatory. I think he’s competitive one year and gone by year 3.

Not making excuses for him because he has made some really bad decisions at times (like last Saturday). And is ultra conservative with the defense. But compared to other teams he has been on, he has had the least amount of talent here.

I think it’s because of who he has coached under. Raheem Morris, Dom Capers, Vic Fangio

I got: Bills over Broncos. I think it will be close but Sean Payton notoriously chokes in the playoffs and I don’t think anyone wants to play Josh Allen. 24-21 Seahawks over 49ers. I think it’s close and Darnold is likely injured but the defense wins it. 20-17 Texans over Patriots. Patriots had one of if not the easiest schedule this year. They struggled with LAs defense which is nowhere near what Houston has. Probably low scoring. 17-13 Bears over Rams: Rams think our home field advantage is bad. They are about to play in Chicago, with single digit temperatures, high wind, and flurries. 30-21

If he lands a HC job he will like take Cooley as DC. (Would be 3 3rd round picks btw). I imagine we would promote Wash or hire Raheem Morris due to familiarity with the system. Evero would need a OC though. Wonder about Zac Robinson since they know each other from LA
