Todd Wash as DC…hmmm

Christmas Eve Smile GIF

He was the Jags DC under Gus Bradley during their "Sacksonville" years.

Would love to have Bradley too honestly, and he's certainly connected with Canales. But he's got an AHC title right now in San Fran so he likely couldn't be interviewed as a DC.

I probably prefer Cooley but both would be solid options 

Wash has been coaching way longer including five years as the Jaguars DC. Cooley's only been coaching at the pro level since 2020.

(I know that doesn't always mean a coach is better but I'm more comfortable that way)

Mind you, Wash has typically run a 4-3 scheme so it might mean some adjustments.

Hot take.  Eviro is definitely a bad dc...however I don't think he'll be a terrible hc.  I think he is a commanding presence and he can be an effective hc as long as he let's his coordinators handle things.

Hard to say. It's a different skill set. 

Some of the league's greatest coordinators were sh-t head coaches. Likewise, some mid coordinators became great HCs..

Really hard to predict...

I would be shocked if Idzik got a shot till he started calling plays at the very least

He wouldn't be the first.

I doubt either of them get head coaching jobs.  Evero has the best chance, but barring a deep playoff run, I really doubt it.  I think he walks and takes another DC job next year.

Evero is no longer under contract once this season ends.

Basically, whether he gets a head coaching job or not, we likely have a different DC next year.

Evero is on the last year of his deal and he's not going to resign here. I think he's gonna try and interview for a HC job and if he doesn't get 1 then I can almost guarantee he's the Rams DC next year taking over for Chris Shula who's almost certainly gonna get a HC job this cycle. The Rams tried to hire him away in 2024, but we blocked the interview, so I have no doubt they are gonna go for him again. The Rams give him a better chance of getting a head coaching job, something Evero has made it known that he wants and his previous relationship with Mcvay and the front office there make it all but certain. 

With most of the defensive staff being Evero guys I think we see a pretty big turnover on the defensive coaching staff this offseason as most of them will follow Evero to LA. 

I'd look for Canales to bring in someone he's worked with in Seattle like Kris Richard or Gus Bradly or he could just promote Todd Wash to DC.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
