Did you listen to it? He ain’t getting that job. 

I did, it's one guy speculating and also calling the Raiders a premier NFL job, which made me laugh for about a minute straight.

Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I think that Evero getting a bunch of interviews speaks more of the Rooney Rule and teams being required to interview minority coaches than EE's performance over the past few years. I don't know if I'm holding my breath that he's getting a HC gig.

For a guy hardly any of us would muss and a decent chunk would straight up love to be rid of. Sure would be a sweet deal.

They've checked that box. No need to go through with a second interview unless they're truly considering him.

By just about every account he is extremely impressive in an interview setting. I don't think he would be getting so many interviews if it was just about ticking a box. I am not saying some aren't trying to hit that bird with a stone too but I think many of these teams do have real interest.

One does wonder if his on field results have kept him from getting a few of these.

Well if he comes back, he's signed through 2030 along with Dave Canales. They matched up Evero's contract with Canales. 

 

January 2030 for both. 

 

Edited to add this, with all the reporting, people missed Dan saying they were aligning their contracts together to end at the same time. (Canales 6 year deal from 2024-2030.)

He impressed Pittsburgh and Las Vegas both in first Interviews. I believe he has a better shot at the Pittsburgh job than the LV one.

I mean, they should. That's what you're trying to hire - a guy who is going to produce results on the field. Don't get meatballed like old Hurndog. LOL

I don't think anyone is upset about continuity but one does wonder how much losing we will have to endure to see if that is a winning combo.

You also have to wonder if that timeline will eventually be matched with a Bryce contract extension.

That is nightmare fuel.

But a smart organization(recently) like the Lions get rooked by Drew Petzig for a job.

And you can everyone in Miami to hire....a sub .500 former Boston College HC??? 

Worse decisions have already happened this cycle, IMO. And most of these teams looking for HC's aren't known for making wise choices.

Yeah the premier job part was pretty funny.
But they have that number one pick and it is going to QB.  

IMO they are gonna follow the script, most likely, and go offensive guy to groom and develop the QB

McDaniels left without a deal. I’d be surprised if LV didn’t hire EJ today. Time for Tepper to put his money where his mouth is and pay McDermott

That's how Crazy Old Al Davis sold it for years. A real NFL head coaching job! 1 of 32 in the world!

I have a hard time picturing McDermott answering to Canales.
