We need to send EJ all our energy this afternoon. McDermott and 2 3rd round picks are waiting for us if it happens

Maybe he should hire his old pal from New England?! Give him another shot! Maybe he will be better this time! It wouldn't be the 1st time the Raiders have gone back and hired a previous coach again. Not even the 2nd time!

We already have a HC last time I checked.

It's not so much about his ability to be a coach. It's ownership, followed by roster, followed by general standing in the division, followed by even more ownership. They've parted ways previously with 2 coaches that got them into the playoffs.

I mean it wouldn't be hard to upgrade from that last Cardinals coach lol. Dude was a weirdo.

If we brings McDaniel as his OC it could get interesting

We do indeed.

Crazy he could end up being a head coach. There was one poster here in particular who acted as if Joe Brady was their own personal boogeyman. @poundaway would be beside themselves right now.

Lmao Carson Beck

So we get two 3rd rounders if Evero gets hired?

After all the hype years ago it turns out Beane isn't anything special but that doesn't mean Morgan has "arrived" either. He's had one Scott Fitterer draft and one solid draft. Need more of a sample size. Things get much trickier from here. We'll see where we're at by this time next year.

That is my thinking of. Never know, but I would be really surprised if they went defense.

I don't think any pass rusher in the NFL, Garrett included was going to win us that game. It goes a lot deeper than that.

Valid.

I think he just seems HC desperate. It's perplexing and it will fail. He must have been one of those "I can fix her" type of guys.

It's dicey no doubt, the market is thin and we're not getting a high end 3-down guy at 19. So if we mess around with more role players and situational PRs, then we're kind of still floating in this same space. If we're absolutely set on finding an anchor we can just put in for 90%+ snaps, Hendrickson or a trade may be or best bets for better or worse. But realistically, the NFL is evolving in how defenses are structured. You go for him if you find those diamonds like Myles, Hutch, Watt, WAJ, etc. but otherwise, the best avenue could also be more of a versatile approach like the Seahawks and Broncos have done. Bonnito blossomed into a top guy, but Denver very much had a balanced build through youth. I'm a tad conflcited, I can see the reason why, but it would no doubt be a hefty price to pay that takes away our ability to do much else impactful signing wise. I think it boils down to: Is the overpay worth it/Does he elevate the defense that much? And are we okay with a 2-3 year window for him? If our FO thinks we can make a run with Bryce, then its about boosting the lines and skill players - so I wouldn't be hating it. It's a gamble, but could get us into the next steps of where we want to go.

I wouldn't be shocked if McDaniels doesn't turn them down.

There is no chance Brady doesn't pick an offensive guy. He forced the Chip Kelly thing on the Raiders. They will make a disaster hire and Mendoza will get ruined there.

Please infant jesus. Then throw whatever you need to at mcdermott to bring him back.

It's gonna be interesting the impact this has around the college football world. I mean, for the worst program in power conference D1 football to hire a new coach and immediately win double digit games for the first time in program history then follow it up with an undefeated national championship run in year two... just wow. I don't think even the most delusional rosy outlook folks thought something like that was possible. These blue blood schools are gonna be looking at their programs like this program that has a historical record of only winning about 40% of their games just won a national title and is 27-2 over the past two years simply by hiring the right coach. Every other power conference team is gonna be looking at Indiana like "hey, that could be us if they can do it so can we." I think what Cignetti has done at Indiana has really ramped up the pressure and expectations across the board.

So far

may have missed the thread if there was one if EE does go away, who do we want/get as DC?
