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.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
