Yeah I'd prefer Crosby(28) or Phillips

But a smart organization(recently) like the Lions get rooked by Drew Petzig for a job. And you can everyone in Miami to hire....a sub .500 former Boston College HC??? Worse decisions have already happened this cycle, IMO. And most of these teams looking for HC's aren't known for making wise choices.

I don't think anyone is upset about continuity but one does wonder how much losing we will have to endure to see if that is a winning combo. You also have to wonder if that timeline will eventually be matched with a Bryce contract extension. That is nightmare fuel.

I mean, they should. That's what you're trying to hire - a guy who is going to produce results on the field. Don't get meatballed like old Hurndog. LOL

I think some of that is true but there are also organizations that somehow manage to weather the tide long term because they have competent management and ownership. Steelers, Packers, Ravens, Seahawks, 49ers, etc. Those teams have gone through several cycles of ups and downs but maintained a baseline of success and potential contender status for the overwhelming bulk of those years. That's what you try to aim for. Long term competence and the ability to win, even if you are struggling with aspects of roster construction cycles.

He impressed Pittsburgh and Las Vegas both in first Interviews. I believe he has a better shot at the Pittsburgh job than the LV one.

Well if he comes back, he's signed through 2030 along with Dave Canales. They matched up Evero's contract with Canales. January 2030 for both. Edited to add this, with all the reporting, people missed Dan saying they were aligning their contracts together to end at the same time. (Canales 6 year deal from 2024-2030.)

I also look at his work there and match it up against the planned obsolescence that is part of the NFL as it sits now. Part of what creates parity here is that as a team ascends, the costs of its players go up, the position of its draft picks go down, it's great players age or get injured to often, their assistant coaches get poached for higher positions elsewhere. And even the best of managers can't hold that off forever. Great managers can only play the shell game for so long, covering one hole in the team while another wears through, betting it all on a small cadre of veteran stars, sifting through the diamonds in the rough, hoping for something great. Sometimes they can do it smartly, sometimes they just break and give in to the wrong contract here or there in a desperate attempt to hang onto something. Sometimes the voodoo juju just runs out and they find themselves catching up to that can they've been kicking down the road and they end up in cap hell for a couple of seasons. And sometimes they're just the Jets. And the managers are also at the mercy of the whole coaching deal... great coaches eventually falter -- their schemes become old school, their locker rooms change. It just all wears out over time and that's good for the whole of the league.vReally, did we want the Patriots to have yet another decade of dominance?

By just about every account he is extremely impressive in an interview setting. I don't think he would be getting so many interviews if it was just about ticking a box. I am not saying some aren't trying to hit that bird with a stone too but I think many of these teams do have real interest. One does wonder if his on field results have kept him from getting a few of these.

They've checked that box. No need to go through with a second interview unless they're truly considering him.

He has one contender for franchise worst draft(2024) and what appears to be one good to very good draft on his record. Free agency has been a very mixed bag. I think most are still waiting to judge him completely. Honestly, it's gonna be at least 2-3 offseasons before making a completely fair judgement.

For a guy hardly any of us would muss and a decent chunk would straight up love to be rid of. Sure would be a sweet deal.

Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I think that Evero getting a bunch of interviews speaks more of the Rooney Rule and teams being required to interview minority coaches than EE's performance over the past few years. I don't know if I'm holding my breath that he's getting a HC gig.

Yeah and you see a lot of these older former elite pass rushers taking smaller, shorter deals with contenders to chase rings. Miller, Bosa, etc.

I think he wants redemption but that isn't the spot for it. He claims he would rather take a good OC job than a bad HC job. I am confused by him interviewing with the Lions and then they ended up with an awful hire in the former Cards OC. There wasn't a better OC opening in the NFL than the Lions. Very curious to see where McDaniels settles.

I think a lot of huddlers are over rating Dan's eye for talent, but I hope youre right and im wrong on that.

did a great job getting us out of cap hell. also did nothing to make the team better once we had a roster good enough to compete for a super bowl for a hawwwg mawlie enthusiast using first round picks on shaq and vernon butler which were luxury picks while strutting out the likes of nate chandler, byron bell, matt kalil, mike remmers to protect your franchise QB was malpractice. and then of course the norman fiasco and drafting kelvin benjamin over davante adams, jarvis landry and allen robinson and doubling down on devin funchess the next year. for a guy that "came from scouting" it was crazy how he drafted 2 tall unpolished receivers simply because Cam "threw high" I remember him and Rivera thinking Byron Bell would be a better left tackle than right tackle because he was left handed lol

Beane took over in 2018 after Josh Allen was drafted. He's drafted 2 Pro Bowlers his entire tenure. James Cook and Dawson Knox The Bills had a generational QB fall into their lap and have wasted his prime much like we did with Cam. Alot of parallels and it's even funnier when they've had so many of our former players and built their front office around our old employees

News all over the interwebs this morning about the Hornets talking to the Knicks about trading for Karl Anthony Towns https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/charlotte-hornets/news/hornets-have-engaged-trade-talks-karl-anthony-towns/36c895a74fd0b50c79902884

The problem is that legit contenders would also be willing to offer that. The only way we likely lure in a player like Hendrickson is offering him more, maybe considerably more, than teams in better situations to compete now and that gets very very dicey with players on the wrong side of 30.

Mike McDaniel feels like the lockiest of locks that ever locked for Titans OC .

I mean, it's still one of the best jobs that one could have, only 32 in the world. Tom Pelissero said to watch for Sean McDermott at that very same job on Rich Eisen yesterday, & extolling the virtues of the job and why McDermott might end up there. They wanted Saleh however. I can't wait to see what he does. This is his last chance to be HC more than likely. He'll get that defense up and running again, no doubt. What will probably be key is his hire for OC.

If he is carrying a dual role, I suspect that the Bills will decline in the near future. The worst thing for someone with ego issues is expanding their powers.

Yikes at Caleb

I heard on ESPN or Fox Sports, that Beane's role has actually been expanded. He's President of Football Operations, but he still retains his role as GM.
