Mr. Scot

There's no evidence Fitterer wants to control Reich's staff. They're both actually known to be very easy going guys who work well with others.

I wasn't going to but since you mentioned it...

Sorry. Been busy.

Why would Fitterer need a power play? He's got the job description of a typical GM now. UNC's explanation makes way more sense.

Genuine possibility

You hate to see it...

Don't think it's Miami either. If that's the goal, I'd say San Fran.

No word yet

To clarify, since the Saints let him out of his contract, Richard could sign to any position he's willing to do. That said, Joe makes it sound like the DC search Is starting from scratch again.

Valid

Manuel also interviewing in Houston

Also this... I totally get wanting to pluck a coach from the Lions 2022 offensive staff, but why the hell would you want anyone who had a hand in that defense?

Wish it hadn't happened, but...

Back in high school I had a group of friends who had small boats for fishing (pretty common in my area). Three of them decided one night they were gonna camp out by tying their boats together across a narrow section of the river behind my hometown. Then they made the mistake of inviting our friend Mike Mike (nicknamed Blue) could be a little...quirky. If he went camping out, he often got scared in the middle of the night and decided to go home. On this particular night, that happened again. Only this time, Mike didn't want to leave his boat and the rest of the guys (who were asleep at the time) had used a single rope to connect their boats. After Mike untied the rope and left with his boat, the other three guys started quietly floating down the river. They all woke up alone at various points along the river the next morning, with no idea where they were or how they got there. (though they did all suspect that Mike had something to do with it)

Kris Richard is now a free agent With that done, even if they were to hire a different DC, they could still bring Richard aboard as a DB coach or something else.

And after that, a reliable backup.

Re: Ejiro Evero

Not exactly coaching news, but... The Chargers comment is true. Beathard built the 72 Dolphins. Unfortunately, our biggest connection to him is that he mentored Marty Hurney

He's not wrong

If you're just talking about a bridge guy, and one who knows Reich's system, it's not a bad idea.

Despite the thread title, the actual topic pertains to a quarterback who's behind us.

It wouldn't be surprising to see Staley named OC. It also wouldn't be surprising if whomever gets that job winds up being an Andy Reid style OC while Reich runs the offense himself.

For the unfamiliar, George Paton's last name is pronounced "payton'.

Smith would know...
