this is all bad news IMO. 

good luck attracting a quality HC....when the owner is going to dictate his staff.  Again.   

Pairing a known a new head coach with a quality DC is sound reasoning. If the new coach doesn’t understand that maybe he’s not the right guy.

We’re hanging onto Evero because 1.) he’s good and 2.) so we can get a comp pick for him next offseason when he does get hired away. The rule requires that minority coaches have to be on staff for at least 2 seasons to count towards the third round pick compensation. I don’t like the rule but it’s what’s going on.

HCs should be able to hire their own staff.  People they work well with and are bought into the same vision.  Generally speaking.  That's the ideal approach.  You can find exceptions to anything.   

We just went through a cycle with the owner/GM dictating a lot of what Frank's world would look like.  Game of Thrones I think was the reporting of how that went.  But yeah, let's keep doing the same thing.

Again, another coach that a new HC would be blessed to hire or retain.  IF a new coach wants him im sold on the idea.  Evero might not be sold on the idea though.  Even more another team might be sold on him as their next HC so that would put the defense in limbo yet again.  I do admire the fact that the coaches that the team would want to keep around are coaches that are actually worth it.  If I saw it kicked around that we want to retain Tremble's Uncle as TE coach I'd be a bit perturbed.  We could and frankly probably will do much worse hiring a new DC, which will be churned in 2 seasons because of poor performance, much like ST if we hire away from Tabor.  New HC has to make some good hires, and not just their college buddies or familiar faces from austere coaching situations they have been in at one point in time.  The DC and ST here are kind of layups for first time HCs.

If it's a HC we are desperate for like Johnson he will have to option of picking his guy or rolling with Evero.  As involved as Johnson is with the offense I could see someone like him leaving the defense with Evero.  There is nothing wrong with being "intrigued" by the idea since our defense has overperformed.  As long as we don't demand it from our new HC it's fine IMO.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
