It seems like a reasonable bet to assume we’re landing Macdonald, Frank Smith, Callahan, or Canales. Just feels like that’s the realistic pool.

I just don’t see Quinn or Monken happening.

Johnson is a long shot.

Harbaugh and BB aren’t coming here.

Don’t think Vrabel will happen. 

Absolutely and honestly I'd be more excited with one of these 4 than if Tepper tried to make a "splash" and hired Belichick, Vrabel or Harbaugh

Although Ben Johnson would be a home run hire he has better options at the moment

Why would anyone choose the redskins (or any other situation) over here?

Aside from money (which we've learned doesn't help much) what reason is there?

 

Roster wise, they're in a similar spot to us, cap space for both teams should be well over 60 mil when it comes time for FA.  

They just dumped their 2 best pass rushers.  Payne & Curl are probably their best defensive assets.  Terry is their best on offense.  There's nothing special at TE, RB, DB, LB.  Leno and Gates are average at best OL.  Cosmi is still figuring it out.  Forbes looked bad as a rookie.  

What I see favorable is ownership and positioning for a franchise QB.  Bryce has a mixed perception around the league after 2023, so I don't think every coach we're hiring is necessarily bought in on him.  WFT can grab Daniels, Maye or Caleb.

Adam Petters bowed out of our GM race when they hired Fritters. Many thought he wouldn't leave the 49ers. Having a quality GM that won't walk into a bad position up front along with all that is listed above makes it a better spot. DC was able to snag a highly regarded GM already while Tepper is asking if he can ask to interview HCs with no GM yet...

Who knows what else is part of the bag right now the Panthers are asking of people. Sure looks like Tepper is trying to push off a large part of last year's wonder crew on the new people. That alone seems like a tough sell for people with options.

What does it say for the organization he's running that the team that just went 2-15 has two coaches on it's staff that are being considered as head coach candidates elsewhere? I mean, that's absolutely unheard of.

Both request were lateral moves so not as HCs that were blocked. Evero and Tabor are getting HC interviews too? LOL. IDK but I would love to see it if Tepper's master plan is to just drop a HC in along with a RB and QB coaches with last year's people.

The Tabor interview was for their ST position.

He bowed out when he realised the GM was just going to be Rhule's bag boy.

He’s keeping them here because they are good coordinators but if the new coach wants to dismiss them so be it but I’m gonna hold onto them in case they want them. It’s a sign that the head coach and offense were the problem.

      Demani Richardson

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was going to make a thread about this, but @MHS831 would be one of the only ones to care. What about James Bradberry as FS??  He was playing some of it in Philly, but wanted be remain at CB......truth is he's too slow for that. But his football IQ would allow him to transition to FS. I think it could work...   Regarding Demani richardson I seen what you posted and didn't care about it. I thought he could and did play both, evero system is like many the safety are interchangeable. Like the LBs, need some safety insurance.    Ill add this since Ive barring my soul in here..... One minor beef I had with Dan&Brandt was they wavied Jammie Robinson and not Nick Scott who only signed for that year and was awful. (not to say Robinson wasn't..). My point is Robinson would still be here on the roster and he's entering his 3rd year. Just dumb to try and sneak Robinson onto the PS when Scott suck and has no future here......rant mode off....

      Without Special Juan and Carolina Livin we'd be much dumber than we are right now.  Serious Note:  Anyone heard from Mr Scot?
