Who will be our DC next season?

I have a couple of thoughts on this subject.

First. I do expect McD to get an interview or two after this year. But, with the way the league is Offensively, I just don't see him getting the gig. Maybe when a team that really wants a Defense he may get a shot. I just don't know when that may be.

Second. He has a sweet gig right now. It just may take the perfect storm of events to even get him to consider taking a HC job. Some guys just don't want that headache.

Personally, I don't want him going anywhere. He makes Rivera's job so much easier.

 

Agree. He probably knows how good he has it now and can afford to pick and choose. Heck, just a couple years ago Chud was considered an innovative offensive mind until he struck while the iron was hot, wound up in a no-win situation he couldn't do anything about, and now he's just a special assistant on the Colts.

 

If McD takes a job I think it will be for something like the Chargers and Bears a couple years ago, where the talent is in place that just needs a new direction instead of a career-killer like Washington and Cleveland where the organization won't get out of your way.

Wilks would obviously be the replacement. He and Rivera go way back.

 

Oakland, Miami, NY Giants, and NY Jets seem like four teams who could fire their coaches after the season. Dunno if any of their GMs have ties with the Eagles where McD spent most of his career, but I'm sure Gettleman would give a strong recommendation to Jerry Reese for the Giants gig. Bring back the emphasis on the front four, etc.

 

Dave Toub, David Shaw, Darrell Bevell, Greg Roman, Ray Horton, Rob Ryan, and Todd Bowles are other strong HC candidates. And Rex Ryan will easily find another HC job if the Jets fire him.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
