If Wilks is hired does that mean all the current coaches are still employed unless Wilks fires them?

If Wilkes is retained it is probably already determined what coaches would be dismissed. I am pretty sure Wilkes would notify them since he hired them. (Someone correct me if I am wrong).

I do hope we keep Campen and Chris Tabor.

why don't people want Payton??

Because he's overrated. He had a HOF QB for 14 years and only won one SB that was gifted to them because of a storm. 

Also, No head coach has ever won a SB with two different teams, so statistically it's really unlikely that he'd be great here, especially without a Drew Brees and the ability to run an illegal bounty program.

This. Bountygate aside, if you're hiring Payton I'd want to be pairing him with a legit, established QB. Of the current openings, Denver makes the most sense by miles. You already have your entire franchise mortgaged into Russell Wilson.

Imagining Russ and Cap'n Vicodin crashing and burning in Denver is magically delicious.

Agree. Johnson or Steichen are coaches I want because if we bring in a rookie they have proven they can build an offense around said rookie. 
Heck there is a chance, however slim, that if we don’t get a QB our coach could develop Corral. Again, not saying it will happen. Because I think Corral is what he is, a third round pick with a backup ceiling. But you never know. 
Payton hasn’t had to develop a QB so we have no idea if he can.

he paid players to intentionally injure and end the careers of other players. he should be out of the league permanently. if we hire him, it means we approve of that behavior, and i have a big problem with that.

If we could hire Payton off the street and all it cost was Tepper's cash, I'd be all for it. Giving up more draft assets and especially to a division rival that can help them climb out of the roster and cap hole they've built isn't appealing to me though. I'd prefer to keep the picks and hope we hit on Johnson or Steichen paired with a Fangio/Vance Joseph type DC candidate.

I definitely understand this

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
