That's great. That means no matter what, even if Wilks gets to be the motivator/leader guy, the lame ass soft zone DC philosophy of Holcom/Wilks won't be a factor any more. This seems like Fitt may have a little bit more involvement/Tepper is listening to Fitts advice

Ben Johnson HC

Vic Fangio DC

is a fuging dream. Young, bright, innovative offensive mind paired with an elite defensive coach that has HC experience 

Another benefit is I seriously doubt Fangio will ever be a HC again which would be nice to not have to worry about losing him in future hiring cycles.

Big thing for me is the locker room and Wilks won it, if you go with a new coach.. he's going to have to be able to go in and win the players over, otherwise.. gonna have major turnover first 2 seasons, players wanting out and bad seasons. 

Especially so if it's Payton over Wilks, I'd expect a ton of turnover.

Like restart the rebuild and any Wilks players will have sour taste in their mouth and tank team chemistry type of bad from the sounds of it.

Guys like Wilks but nobody signed here because they knew he was going to be the head coach. They might resent Tepper for not keeping him.  If they got like Dan Quinn or someone as a sideways move they should be pissed, but if they upgrade to someone who can actually improve the game plans and in game adjustments/win more games most guys will be happy

Between cuts, FA, and the draft, the locker room next year will be different. A new head coach will inevitably bring in some of "his guys." It happens with every team that hires a new head coach.

Vic Fangio as DC... no way we are that lucky right? 

Vic Fangio is as proven as they come.  There is no way you interview this man and don't offer him a contract. I mean I guess it is possible Vic Fangio doesn't want to come here but in another thread where I brought Fangio up, I mentioned how there weren't a ton of DC openings that we'd have to compete for.  And we have the talent for a Fangio defense.  I don't see why he wouldn't want to come here, if the money is right and he wants to be a coordinator again (and clearly he does). 

This would be an absolutely brilliant hire.  And we could go into 2023 feeling confident that our defense would, at the very least, be above average. 

This is the benefit of having an owner willing to spend.  Fangio ain't gonna come cheap for an assistant.  But he will be worth every dime.

Fangio is going to be DC for Jim Harbaugh or Sean Payton if he takes a DC position. I doubt he is not going to pair up with a HC who has less than a full year as an independent OC like Ben Johnson. I don't see that happening with all the opportunities Fangio has in the NFL.

Fangio interviewing likely means Harbaugh or Payton is serious about taking the HC position.

It would be interesting to see Burns at OLB/Edge, Brown 3 tech DE, and Chinn at SS in Fangio's defense. Panthers have the players he needs.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
