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?

I have a hard time picturing McDermott answering to Canales. .

That's how Crazy Old Al Davis sold it for years. A real NFL head coaching job! 1 of 32 in the world!

I think this place is jaded from Fitt's headscratching contracts and decisions, which is fair. Dan has done a good job so far of keeping the FA contracts to 2 years and then a favorable out for the team. I agree, spend a lot of money this FA and do not give up draft picks. We've waited too long in the "rebuild" stage to not take a big swing this upcoming year. If it doesn't work, we can do a reset next offseason and get a lot of our older players off the payroll in 27/28 fairly easily. I hope we spend $70M this offseason while not trading away any draft capital.

McDaniels left without a deal. I’d be surprised if LV didn’t hire EJ today. Time for Tepper to put his money where his mouth is and pay McDermott

Saleh should rent, and not buy something in the Nashville area.

My first reaction was, "As a head coach, this could be a career buster." He must have confidence in the QB--

Yeah the premier job part was pretty funny. But they have that number one pick and it is going to QB. IMO they are gonna follow the script, most likely, and go offensive guy to groom and develop the QB

We were probably 1 pass rusher away from advancing in the playoffs this year.. We also have 1 more cheap year on BY's contract. This is the year to spend. So we need someone.. (please no more Viking players...)

Do we hand out the Division Championship rings after the season or have a ceremony before Game 1 of 2026?

but we won the division this year
