If we lose Evero this is really going to be a questionable hire. At least we have something with the defense. Not sure it's the same defense without Evero.

 

Hopefully we can keep Evero as DC.

He's under contract and paid well. Unless he gets a HC offer or Canales just hates him (he scored 30 points total against us in 2 games, so he should be pretty impressed) I think he stays.

This is 100% Dan Morgan. He's been tight with Canales for longer than he's known Tepper.

Y'all wanted Tepper to get out the way well Dan is your "football guy" now.

Yep, they worked together for 7 years in Seattle.

Please Bench Bryce if he doesn't show signs of improving by mid season.

what happened to the consulting service? lol

they recommended Canales as a HC candidate.

 

The last two they helped hire:   McVay and Kyle Shannahan.

Please don't.  If thats the case, just get the best pick possible.

On a similar note, I wish Tepp would pay Pete a billion dollars to come on in some sort of advisory role.

I think I feel the same way, but also double edged sword. What does Pete want to do? Would he come here and really push coaching decisions like we heard last year with Reich and all this experience on staff? Or would he be a pretty silent but helpful resource in the background? Who knows, but yeah would be good to explore that

So what I'm reading is, if we had conducted a second interview with, say, Macdonald on Monday and hired Canales on Tuesday, you'd be fine with it? I suppose I understand doing due diligence, but I don't really feel all that up in arms about moving on it now rather than 4 days later. Maybe Dave and Dan decided Canales was their guy and didn't want to have a repeat of what happened last season with Johnson pulling out of the process the night before his interview. 

I think given what by all accounts was reportedly Tepper's hard on for Johnson, there's a reason they didn't wait until he was available for a second interview.  

Word was they were pretty high on Callahan before the Titans got him. Hence why I fear we panicked here.

It also comes off as a "bidding against ourselves" sort of thing since no one else was pursuing him. There was no need to rush...but we did.

I hope it works, but it might be one of those cases of "more lucky than good".

I mean he will either get better or potentially lead us to a top pick AKA his replacement.  Either way we have to build an offense around him this offseason.

This will be awful. Somewhere in between Rhule and Reich.

I like the hire already, but is this really true? Good stuff if so

[CRA]

Fine hire from a O perspective.  But we have to wait and see if Tepper is going to screw him and repeat his patterns.

if Ejiro, Tabor, Caldwell, all remain…..Tepper hasn’t learned anything.  Guy is pretty green so I could see Tepper wanting to build out his staff for him. 

[WestPanthers]

So are we going to resign Baker again?

I know he had first interviews with a couple of teams. From what I saw, no second interview requests other than us.

I'd have to look up who the others were.

Circling back to this: according to Julian council on twitter, he didn’t interview with anyone else.
