If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

[kungfoodude]

...and David Tepper isn't allowed(we all know this would be a 70+% result), whom would it be?

Think hard, this does mean you have to keep the rest. Also, give your logic.

Edit: I know Evero is technically not under contract. This is a thought experiment to see where people's rage is most directed.

I am saying Dave Canales for these reasons:

An upgrade at HC is capable of dealing with both Bryce and a new Defensive Coordinator. He can eventually can them both.

Firing doesn't mean upgrade.

 

If the question is upgrade then Bryce Young. That would make the job more appealing to fire Canales in the future

Oh definitely not under Tepper but we could technically get worse at QB and DC too. Or even GM, etc.

I am asking which factor would you personally change first.

My logic is HC because if you give them more actual control then two of those other factors are likely to change anyway.

Canales is a fairly limp dick head coach from what I have seen. Basically a youth pastory, buddy boss type. 90% style to 10% substance.

You forgot Dan Morgan.

I considered it. I left that as a "write in."

Firing Canales now makes it even more unlikley to get an improvement than it was before him. IMO.

Too easy. Addition by subtraction. Saints found one in the 2nd last year lol

I don't know that it really matters THAT much about the timeline. I think we may have already cemented ourselves as a bottom 2-3 spot for head coaching candidates, if not securely last.

But that logic can be applied across the board to all these moves. We aren't very likely to improve at QB if we get rid of Bryce. I mean....these guys all picked Bryce. How the hell would they know what a good NFL QB looks like?

As for defensive coordinator, who in their right mind would come to work under Dave Canales and in this situation? It is likely to be someone Dave knows personally and probably making way too big of a leap up the ranks to take a job they aren't qualified for.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that this team will Never win a playoff game with BY as the quarterback.

Well, people credit(ridiculously) that Baker's time here spurred some sort of career turnaround(also ludicrous).

Maybe we put Bryce as scout team DE for the remainder of the season and see what happens?

[PleaseCutStewart]

I'll go other and hope Tepper fires himself into the sun...

Edit: Just saw your top post, I will go DC then. We all know we will move on from Bryce, but even if we had the best offensive talent in the league, DC would still manage to call ass plays and have us averaging like 17 points a game

I say we do 1 better and make him the blocking dummy the rest of the season...

[Mr. Scot]

Evero's contract is up anyway. No need...

Still not ready to bail on Canales...

No one else on the coaching or front office staff I'm dead set against keeping right now.

It'd probably be Bryce.
