imagine on passing for a proven, super bowl winning coach for the opportunity to land another Vernon Butler, Kelvin Benjamin, Everett Brown, Jeff Otah type player.

Big Vern

one of the worst draft picks in franchise history and there are a lot of bad ones

That's one of the reasons that I've said it's Payton's job since he was added to the interview list.  It's a swing for the fences but it's also a coach known for winning and an offensive minded coach. 

My problem with Payton is the compensation for his services and all the control he wants..

And jmo I think you can get Payton lite from Reich with no compensation needed and less control giving..

I'm talking about methodology (see above)

I’m not sure Payton is a retread in the same manner your describing and I’d also argue that retreads have had more success recently than not. 
 

McCarthy, Pederson, Reid, Carroll are all retread coaches who have had success this year. 
 

Retread head coaches get a bad rap, but there are some legendary names who have won titles on their next teams. In fact 17/52 Super Bowls have been won by coaches who are retreads. BB obviously skews that number a bit with his six but there is more success going this route than many believe.

A very realistic worst case scenario is we are only left with Wilkes, Reich, and Caldwell. Big yikes. 

It would take a lot for that to happen... considering no new head coach has been hired yet... not sure that I believe thats going to happen. Everyone is just waiting on Payton.

Waitin on Payton

Do you prefer Reich over Payton because he'd be "free" rather than costing draft assets? Not sure why Reich is preferred to Payton if based purely on coaching acumen. I definitely think Payton is a better coach.

Not Just the draft picks, but the full control aspect.

And if that methodology incorporating research and smart football people says Payton? Is that still just an idiot owner falling for the best sales pitch?

Joe Person pointed out that Payton would likely fire the existing football people in favor of his own guys.

That tells me the existing guys probably aren't big fans of hiring Payton.

I can’t understand why Reich is in this category.. It seem like ppl aren’t looking at his resume or refuse any coach who coach somewhere else..

Who are the other three coaches besides Reid that are still in the Super Bowl race?

For that matter, who were last year's Super Bowl coaches?

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
