Shurmur apparently decided Bettcher was the better option.

Del Rio would certainly make an excellent linebacker coach, but I doubt he settles for less than a DC gig, and we don't have that to offer.

Still think either John Pagano or Bobby Babich gets our LB coach spot.  Pagano could also be tabbed by Steve Wilks.

Man, Would love to have Del Rio back at the helm of the defense again. He is a great DC, wonder why they chose Bettcher over him?

Del Rio is kinda like Norv Turner in this respect. He's a great coordinator but an OK head coach.

Bettcher seems to be kind of a rising star (the Titans wanted him too).

Side Note: I reviewed the Cardinals staff from last year.  Better than half of them had more experience coaching at the college level than at the pro level.  Found it kinda odd.

Man I feel bad for him. He has built programs wherever he's gone, and when he was in Jacksonville is personnel was poo and there was an ownership change. Doesn't Seattle need a DC? Lions still don't have a coach do they?

Seattle hired Ken Norton.

Lions are hiring Matt Patricia.

I feel that having Norv Turner and Jack Del Rio as coordinators could take this team to the next level.

There are only two defensive coordinator openings left in the league right now, both of whom have guys from the Patriots tree (Detroit and Tennessee). Unknown whether they'd have any interest in Del Rio.

Panthers and Cardinals are both in need of a linebacker coach if he's willing to take that role again.

Jack Del Rio coaching Luke Kuechly could certainly be interesting.

Wasn’t Wilks hired as Secondary/Ass’t HC? Could we not do teh same thing? I know Ron wanted Wilks to begin with but took McD when SD wouldn’t let him go...

 

dont see see it happening regardless, but they’d find a way if they wanted to...

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
