Mr. Scot

His Broncos bio is still up at the moment. https://www.denverbroncos.com/team/coaches-roster/loren-landow

Good point

Pat McAfee talks about Evero and Wilks... If Wilks does get the 49ers DC role, it might not be hard to imagine him getting a head coaching job a year from now.

Yeah, I remember watching for a big switch that never came.

Wilks update...

Multiple sources confirming...

FYI: A couple different sources are saying this...

Also from Denver... Uh huh

More from Albert Greer on the Payton and Wilson show to come (same article as the one quoted about the hire of Frank Reich) Wilson got $124 million fully guaranteed at signing, which carries the team, and quarterback, through the 2024 season. On top of that, the $37 million he’s due in 2025 vests in 13 months. So either Wilson plays a single year for Payton, and then is cut with $39 million cash due for ’24—leaving Denver with a cap nightmare of $124 million spent for two years of Wilson—or Wilson’s there for Payton’s first three years. In other words, for Payton to make it work, he’ll almost certainly have to make his system, and his program, work for Wilson. Now, the good news—my understanding has always been that Payton liked Wilson’s game going back to when Wilson came out of Wisconsin 11 years ago. Payton’s also made his system work at an incredibly high level for a quarterback who had similar challenges to the one Wilson faces (namely, the distance the top of his head is from the ground). From there, my personal opinion is that Payton’s challenge will be getting Wilson to understand what he is and what he isn’t. For years in Seattle, there was friction between the quarterback and his coaches on how he should be deployed. Pete Carroll and his offensive staffs always thought that was by incorporating Wilson into the run game, moving the pocket in the passing game, and leaning on play-action to generate vision and get Wilson playing fast. Wilson, for his part, wanted to be used in a more traditional Tom Brady–Peyton Manning type of way, thinking that, to steal a line, by letting Russ cook, the Seahawks would unlock another piece of his game. And in having the leverage he got in directing his trade destination, he was able to have things his way his first year in Denver, with a first-year head coach. We know now what became of that. And that’s really why I said, when the Broncos fired Nathaniel Hackett, that they needed someone who could push back on Wilson, and challenge him, be it a Jim Harbaugh or a Dan Quinn or a DeMeco Ryans. Now, they’ve got that guy in Payton.

Per Albert Breer, when the time came to take a poll among the search committee on who was the preferred head coach candidate, Tepper abstained; specifically because he didn't want to influence anybody else's vote. So no, It's not...

Panthers Vice President of Player Personnel Pat Stewart worked with new Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort for close to a decade in the New England front office.

Well now, this could get interesting... More info... From the article... Wilson has a personal performance team made up of trainers, physical therapists, and others who had access to the Broncos facility during the 2022 season. At a press conference in Denver on Monday, Payton said that will no longer be the case. “That’s foreign to me,” Payton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “That’s not going to take place here. I’m not familiar with it, but our staff will be here, our players will be here and that’ll be it.” Wilson having his own office and parking spot at the Broncos facility created more grist for the mill about his standing with the team last season. As Payton works to craft an offense that does more to highlight Wilson’s strengths, it appears he’ll be doing the same off the field in hopes of creating smoother sailing in Denver. Heh

Those guys are likely in the minority. I've seen Olsen's work in the booth damn near universally praised, and not just by Panther fans.

Also, apparently the stupid tie color thing was legit...

I've seen more than one person suggest that Jeremy Chinn might make an ideal 3-4 inside backer.

Sorry, forgot the link...

Hell, even in high school. When my high school submitted the team roster to the local paper for their annual high school football preview, I went and looked and found that I was had suddenly become two inches taller and about twenty pounds heavier

May well have been... One of Luke's prime duties as a pro scout was to watch film of other teams.
