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

Yup sounds like Tepper hasn’t learned anything. He’s just gonna keep doing his thing until he finally lucks into a decent staff and then he’ll pay himself on the back. That approach could take decades

Obviously you should let your new head coach decide on his own staff. But for any DC under consideration you would have to put Evero in the top 3 of any possible candidates. I'm significantly less concerned about keeping Evero through a new staff as I am someone like Tabor who seems to be one of Tepper's buds.

It's not about Evero, who I agree is possibly the best DC candidate anyways. It's about Tepper continuing to insert himself into the football ops which is a huge huge issue. This report shouldn't be coming out now at all. It should be, new HC (picked by GM, picked by advisors) picks his own staff. If that winds up being Evero who is already here, then great. But if a new HC wants to bring his Phil Snow with him then he needs to be able to do that.

But the People in the other thread told me there were no such things as Tepper guys, but he is going to try and force Campen, Tabor, and now Evero on his new HC.

Again, why are we going to insist that we bring in a new HC but give them less control over their staff?  I have a lot of respect for the Evero has done this season with the injuries and lack of talent for a 3-4 front.  He's one of the top defensive coaches in the league, he's only 42, and he's got the chops for be a coach. 

That being said, you can suggest, but you can't force a DC onto a new coach, especially a first time coach.  I think Tim Donnelly on 99.9 said it best: if you're an offensive coach, the DC needs to be your best friend.  Someone you can trust, because their work is going to go on your record.  

I think Evero is a great DC, great coach, and looks the part of the HC.  It won't be much longer before he gets a HC job.

    • 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.
