I kind of want to see what the huddle thinks if this happens..

I'd be all for it, but only if Matt Rhule was not involved in choosing which players we draft with those picks.

I can't see the team going this route unless Tepper has given up on Matt Rhule.

Hard to imagine a coach who's trying to save his ass agreeing to this.

I would have my doubts about this even if Tepper has given up on Rhule. 

Most likely, the only coaching candidates who are willing to come in to an organization who has traded everything away are.......college coaches or those desperate for a HC job.  It is almost the situation Rhule came into when he got here, mostly due to a sorely needed salary cap purge for guys whose best years were behind them.

But, an established NFL coaching candidate is most likely lured to an an organization that has a handful of pretty good players that under-performed as a unity due to coaching rather than one that peddled them all away for draft picks and the cupboard is bare.  It's nice to think the coach wants to come in and completely "build the team in his image," but the reality is starting at ground zero is going to take too much time unless the "hit rate" on draft picks and FAs is nearly 100%. Even if you have a ton of draft picks, if you are lucky half of them will work out and that is if they are day one or two picks.

Having Chinn and Horn looks pretty attractive as a starting point on defense.  If Brown can get himself together, now you have some strength in key defensive positions and it is all young.  The cupboard is pretty bare on offense right now, especially with CMC's playing time the last two seasons being minimal due to injuries.

The paradox is people drool over Harbaugh and what he did at San Francisco, but their roster was pretty good when he walked in the door there.  His results would not have been nearly as impressive nor immediate had they decided to peddle everything away for draft picks at the same time they were looking for a new HC.

Seeing how FUBAR this situation is with the team. What would your reaction be if the team decided to blow up the roster NOW and trade away people like CMC, Shaq, Burns, DJ, etc for draft capital?

 

Not saying it will happen, but I'm curious to know how the fan base would feel about the team literally having a fire sale and starting over now, 3 years after Rhule and Company arrived?

 

 

Personally, I'd laugh but would be intrigued to see how much they could get for quality players that are on the roster. Seeing as they can't get more than 5 wins with them, wonder what their record would be without them. 

Let's let the next coach decide if this is a good idea.
