Staff options if Rhule stays...

Yup might as well show weekly Confidentials instead of actually showing the games. What's going to be really interesting to see is how many free agents bail instead re-sign here. If that happens and Tepper starts noticing a trend a la Teddy and Perryman I wonder if he'd pull the trigger before next draft

Who wants to stay and who moves on is going to be interesting.

It's still to early for deffinates but it sure feels it's all headed that way.

They really need to go ahead and fire Brady now. If Sean Ryan is on the short list, give him a 5 week audition and see how he does. With the bye week, it's a perfect opportunity for him to assume the new role and try to design his own offense over the next 2 weeks. I'm not super high on him right now given he's the QB coach and our QB play has been uninspiring to say the least, but I'm more than happy to give him a shot. Couldn't be much worse than what we've seen from Brady most of his tenure.

A lot of people have posed the question "why would these guys want to come here", and it's a valid one.

The answer in several cases would be "unemployment". 

I looked primarily at staffs that are set to be fired. Mind you, they could have other opportunities but that would depend on who gets the other head coaching jobs. New head coaches tend to prefer their own guys.

Still, the question is one reason why I left some guys off. Mike Kafka, for example, is a guy who's on the rise and is actually not under contract for next season. The question though is would he really want to go from coaching Patrick Mahomes under Andy Reid to coaching the Panthers quarterback stable under Matt Rhule.

Would you?

Throw in that if Eric Bieniemy does get a head coaching job this time around, Kafka likely gets promoted to his old job as Chiefs OC.

What's most depressing about an exercise like this is looking at the differences between who we potentially could  get and who we probably would get.

Could get: Pederson, Lazor, Olson
Would probably get: Ryan or Nixon

Could get: Castillo, Munchak or Cable
Would probably get: Sparano or maybe Flaherty

Could get: Barone or Kitchens
Would probably get: Gilbride

Could get: Bisaccia
Would probably get: Foley or perhaps keep Blackburn

My thoughts from a previous thread regarding potential coaches being "replaced from within":

 

For my part, I agree any replacements that do wind up being made will probably come from our own staff.

That's just Rhule.

More or less my sentiments.

There are non-Rhule guys that have Rhule guys waiting in the wings behind them.

The QB + OC pools for next reason are leaving a lot to be desired for next season... The only OC coach that didn't make me wretch was Pederson.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
