DC search rebooting?

There's no evidence Fitterer wants to control Reich's staff.

They're both actually known to be very easy going guys who work well with others.

I didn't way there was, but he might have wanted to if we would have hired a rookie coach.  Like one of the "hot" OCs.

Fitterer? Doubt it.

Tepper maybe...

FYI: Mike Klis thinks Kris Richard might be reuniting with Sean Payton

Makes sense. Could also potentially explain why the Saints let him go.

If that’s the case, I hope Evero will get consideration by Reich and co. He’s young defensive coach and rising  star we interviewed earlier.  Credited for being a steadying influence during an otherwise tumultuous Broncos season and coached under Fangio when he was in Denver.

To expand on the idea of "pre-interviewing" DC candidates; I think it was IF we hired a young coach.  If we hired a guy, it would be helpful to say "so here's some guys we interviewed, this is what they said; what do you think?"  Since Frank has been around a bit, he's got a much better idea of what/who he wants so the previous interviews aren't as useful for him.

I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal about the DC interviews.  It's the FO's (Tepper's) dime, it gathers information, and that's it.  Listening to podcasts, videos, and reading here (not finishing because it gets repetitive) to hand wringing over interviewing these DCs before we had a coach is just silly. 

Believe it or not, our team is run by NFL guys.  We do have a meddlesome owner, but so do many teams.  I think the team wanted to try to help a young coach because they thought for sure they'd get one.  It turns out they didn't, and the gas and time of the FO folks was wasted, and countless keystrokes across the internet.

Let Frank find his coach, everything else that happened before is water under the bridge at this point.

I still think we end up with Gus.  We haven’t interviewed him because he’s under contract with the Colts.

The Colts HC job sounds like if it’s not going to be Jeff Saturday, could end up being one of these DC’s they’ve interviewed.  If that’s the case, don’t think Gus will be retained there.

I’d love to go after Evero in Denver.  Don’t think Payton retains him and goes after his guy.

Evero is a dam good coach and had HC interviews (believe even here).  He just doesn’t have any connections to Reich or Fitty.  But if they claim to want to get the best and not call you their buddies.  He should be up at the top of the list behind Fangio

Coaches hire their coordinators in a normal NFL environment. It's idiotic to interview guys for coordinator positions before you hire a head coach. Period.

It's becoming more normal for the GM to handle staff now. A few teams have hired coordinators first and made the HC work with them. 

I'm 100% positive it was a requirement for the Panthers hiring panel to have coordinator input for any new HC.

Not sure why ownership reportedly was against Gus Bradley. I wouldn’t mind it.

Would be nice to go get Evero if he doesn’t land a HC role. 
 

Really don’t want Manuel

I personally haven't been very impressed by what he's done recently, seems to be riding on his Seahawks reputation a bit.

Talking to colts fans.  They like him better than the previous DC he had there.  And that guy got a HC gig fwiw

It doesn't do poo other than make it awkward for a HC to hire the guys that HE wants to hire. You shouldn't be hiring a guy at HC if you think he needs help choosing his coordinators. It's just dumb. If you think a guy can't handle hiring his own coordinators then he should NOT be your HC.

What if the coach was okay with it? He may have been on board with it from the beginning.  Hell he could have mentioned it in his first interview.  Let's see how it plays out before we say it's a bad idea.

Hopefully Ejiro Evero is an option. Strange how his name hasn’t come up yet. Whoever they bring in should be fine tbh Reich had solid defenses with the Colts, so I’m not too worried.

Yeah that's interesting. I feel like recently I just remember him for the Chargers defensive decline and then jumping to a few different coaches that got fired the year he got there. That and I know his defenses generally don't generate a ton of turnovers. I do think his system would be a natural fit and would work with the players we have though.

End of the day I'm just happy we have our Offensive System in place and I'll be open minded to whoever we end up with as DC.
