Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

It’s funny, bc it seemed like the entire board believed he was a genius after that first season, but ever since, the tide has dramatically turned.  I too was drinking the kool-aid after that first season, but idk wtf has happened…  it’s not just injuries.  Every year coaches make more with less, injuries included.  There is something wrong schematically and strategically.  And tbh, our defense just doesn’t look well-coached, which isn’t just on Evero but the position coaches.  Poor technique, poor angles, poor gap/assignment discipline, knocking each other out of plays constantly.  Idk what it is exactly, but it’s not encouraging to say the least.

THIS^^^^

I saw this the other night and thought how can this be happening again.  That seemed to be our biggest issue last year.  Bunching up and getting knocked out of the play.  Tackling a RB we hit at the line of scrimmage and finally made the tackle 10 yards later.

The Tepper era has loved the scapegoat model to date.   Always a guy lined up and ready if things go south to take the heat.  

Fanbase was way too happy at the end of the year and allowed Tepper to roll Evero into this year.

I don't know if it's scheme or personnel but there was no pass rush whatsoever until he started blitzing DBs the other night. That's been the status quo with his scheme. I feel we should let him go and return to using a 4-3 defense. 

The whole need to be 3-4ish is David Tepper.

3-4 sucks. Has always sucked. But it doesn’t help he is a terrible defensive coordinator. 
He should have been fired last year but thankfully this is the last year on his contract. 
We will lose games because of his defense. 

The majority of the top defenses over last several seasons are 3-4

That leads to the next question.  How many games do we give him?  2, 3, 5, 8?

If our offense is lighting it up (Top 10 minimum) I think you consider making a change if the defense is not in the top 18 statistically.

 

Realistically you don’t go from worst ever to top 10 unit but as you stated in your initial post “Show us something sheesh” 

Since we have a lot of young players I say the sweet spot is around game 7 or 8. I’m not opposed to letting him finish the year though because our roster is still void of high end talent.  I don’t think we have a playoff roster. 

 

I absolutely would like a change after this season unless we are a top 15ish defense. I just haven’t seen enough.  I disagree with many on the forum though. I would like to continue to run the 3-4.

Evero's seat is uncomfortably warm, for sure, but I appreciate the team not scapegoating him after last season. They sunk everything into the offense and left the defense being held together by spit and duct tape.

Then lose the two leaders in DB + Shaq to start? Ugh...

I'm hoping to see more of a return to scheme now that he's got the talent to execute. Going to need a lot of luck though to get through the season healthy. DBs might not be as bad as originally feared (though a starting-caliber safety would be the cherry on top) and the DL is deep after all of the resources thrown at it... but the LB room is rough.

I don't expect to start seeing strides until midway through the season. The Bills game I think will be a big tone setter for the rest of the season for the defense.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
