Love the hire...Also consider  the fact Frank isn't exactly a young man anymore. So we have two potential head coach replacements when he decides to step away.

Eh, nice thought, but not really logical lol

If Reich is successful enough as our coach to be here until he retires, which would probably 10-12 years away, then neither of the new coordinators (and likely Stately as well) will be here for that long, they'd have already gotten HC jobs long before then.

Agreed. Great situation for Bienemey to prove himself.

People are either gonna be proven right or look really dumb.

Best part is he gets to pair with a fellow great coordinator who was passed over a million times for HC gigs until we took a shot on him. 

He gets (hopefully) full control of the offense and can learn from the forever a bridesmaid turned 2 time coach of year. 
 

Not a bad landing spot. Minus the lack of QB talent.

We are so set up for success for the next few years....

Evero and Brown are locked in, but have capable replacements that should be able to take over in two years. Wash could be back in play for a second tour as an NFL DC and Duce will probably take over at OC. 

I cannot wait to see what these coaches can do together. They are like Voltron and stronger as the sum of their parts. Very balanced between experience, knowledge, youth, ingenuity and connectability. 

I think the NFL is already talking about how different we are going to be and fearing what's about to come out of the QC.

And for all of those that needed that warm and fuzzy "local ties/Carolinas native" filler, Reich has that covered too....and Capers....and Duce.....and McCown.

It's important to remember that minority coaches have to be on a team's staff for two full seasons for the comp pick to be awarded. If we lose both Brown and Evero after one season then that likely means the team had a really good year though. 

Good point - I thought it was just one season.

Man, am I proud of this staff. Diverse, experienced, highly regarded, and stocked with several hot up and comers all at the same time.  This is incredible.

The way we have executed this hiring cycle makes me proud to be a fan of this team.

Side note, I haven’t been proud to be a fan of this team in more than 3 years.

Kyle Shanahan had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. 

Shane Steichen had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. 

Sean McVay had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. 

MIke McDaniel had never called plays anywhere before he became an OC in NFL. 

 

But...

 

Thomas Brown has 3 years experience as on offensive coordinator and play caller at Miami.

 

 

Does anyone read the linked articles or bios of these guys?

I wanted it too. My point is more directed at the people who went full blown overkill on it’s the end of the world and Tepper is the worst owner ever based on just his first HC hire ever. Cause it looks like he in fact did learn from his first mistake. But nobody was allowed to even suggest it without getting poo thrown at them from every corner of the huddle. It’s just silly how this place goes most of the time.

I don’t think tepper gets the credit he deserves for sticking with Rhule for so long. Was it a mistake? Yes. But he gave Rhule plenty of time and space to right the ship and that’s honestly a good trait to have in ownership.
