He interviewed with the falcons for HC.

We can’t block him from interviewing for HC jobs. He also interviewed for the Seahawks HC position. What’s your point?

The Giants, Dolphins and Jaguars requested interviews for their DC position. We blocked Eviro from interviewing with them. I don’t know how else to explain that to you. 

I understand your preference for one party over the other is shaping your language. The only way he can interview for DC positions is if the Panthers agree to ignore or breach the contracts and rules. Those are already in place. It would be more accurate to say he blocked himself by signing his contract. You want to present it as if the Panthers/Tepper are taking some sort of action to prevent Evero from interviewing. They are not. He is not allowed to interview per NFL rules and because of the contract he himself signed. The team doesn’t have to do anything to prevent him from interviewing. They are simply honoring the contract and the NFL rules.

Teams commonly allow coaches to interview for lateral moves. We apparently aren’t one of those teams. We’re paying Eviro $3 million and you’re right, he accepted the bag. I don’t want coaches that don’t want to be here. At least we’ll get a third round compensatory pick for him after next season assuming he gets hired as a HC elsewhere.

This is great news…Evero is great.  As to the other hires I am in show me mode cuz false hope hasn’t worked well in a while

I thought he couldn't interview for other DC jobs?  So then he can't miss out because it was never an option.

Nothing is written in stone.  E is obviously an up and coming coach but after this past year I would not be surprised if he wants to jump ship. I'd like to keep him and keep Luvu and Brown long term. Sticking with the 3-4 and adding pieces to that. Luvu should be a pass rushing edge style linebacker instead of the inside he was forced into by injuries. Brown as a DE beside a legit NT also would be interesting. So NT and a DE that fits a 3-4 would be targets.  I would not be opposed to going to a 4-3 if we lose Envero, Luvu and Burns in the off season actually.  I don't know what coach would be available. If we switch defensive schemes (again) then the draft strategy switches to adding a MLB, a pass rushing DT beside Brown and a pass rusher at DE to replace Burns.  I'd rather stay the course with E but...

Only think I find funny in all this is how many people are okay with forcing someone to be where they don't want to be when they wouldn't do the same in their own work place

This isn't Waffle House. The man signed a contract. When the contracts up he can negotiate for another one.

Also - loads of regular folks sign NDAs and noncompetes, those aren't a joke either.

If I am Canales, the first thing I do is make Evero my assistant head coach.

I wouldn’t take a militant stance, but I think it’s okay to deny until the conversation is had and intentions are stated. I hope he stays, however, if he doesn’t want to be here, I wouldn’t hold him hostage.

[Smitty will punch you]

Gonna be honest idk how I feel about Evero. You mean to tell me Chinn isn’t a major player for this defense? 
 

 

granted Evero did make lemonade outta lemons.

In the past I would have agreed. Unfortunately, the league has incentivized the opposite. The Panthers would be giving up a draft pick to let him move laterally, if they believe he could get a HC job next cycle. If these teams aren’t starting the conversation with trading a draft pick for him, Tepper should absolutely tell them to kick rocks. We should not be bending over backwards to allow other teams to poach our coaches with no compensation.

And like I said previously, if Evero is a professional and a leader it will have no effect on his performance. It’s honestly such a weird culture that people think the idea of working somewhere you don’t want to for a year is this crazy thing. People do great jobs all the time in positions they don’t want. And if Evero wants out badly enough, there are absolutely terms in his contract for breach and he can accept whatever those consequences are and breach his contract. Just like the team is accepting the consequences of paying 3 head coaches right now for breaching the past 2 contracts.
