Raiders interviewing Panthers DC Ejiro Evero for a second time next week

[WarPanthers89]

Everyone saying Tom wouldn’t pick a defensive head coach but he played for one and won many super bowls with that formula

Evero’s interview is today in Miami. Might be happening right now.  
They had McDaniel last night.

This should be wrapped up soon.

It makes better sense to go offense with a new QB. To me. 
But I wouldn’t mind the distraction of a DC search for some entertainment.

I agree but if you get a proven coordinator like Brian Daboll (or someone similar as an example) to pair with the #1 pick, suddenly it does not look so bad, especially if they see Evero as someone young who they will be patient with to be the long term guy who builds a program.

He also left for an offensive HC and won there. Not sure if you have paid attention but he didn't exactly have the best Bill Belichick relationship on the way out. Also, this.....

 

Belichick & Brady together: 219-64(0.774)

Belichick without Brady: 83-101(0.451)

Brady without Belichick: 32-18(0.640)

 

Seeing a bit of a pattern?

yep. They all went to the game last night scouting their number one pick. Brady and I guess Davis and whoever else from the Raiders.

We’ll find out soon enough.

I saw them there. I didn't realize they were going to do the Evero interview there too.

Makes sense why the McDaniels interview was right before it.

I wonder how much of the Davis Webb interviews are opportunities to see if he would be interested in leaving Payton to be an actual play caller. 
 

If he’s not selected as a HC, I could see him getting paired with Evero, being his OC on a big contract and play calling duties. HOWEVER, you risk losing him to a HC job in a year or two.

Yes…..that they had the best results together. Also Brady went to Tampa due to the makeup of the team, not because he wanted an offensive head coach. Hell he basically was the coordinator in Tampa.

I would say that's a little bit of a stretch but I am sure he enjoyed the freedom that someone like Peyton Manning traditionally did. He was still not the actual playcaller, just had significant liberties.

I am perfectly fine with them taking Evero off our hands and gifting us two compensatory third rounders but I don't anticipate that Brady is going to want a defensive oriented HC, especially since they just had a defensive oriented head coach and Brady saddled him with an "offensive guy" of his choosing in Chip Kelly. 

We will see how it works out but I do believe most of the scuttlebutt that they will want a HC with an offensive background, especially with a young QB. That's not uncommon at all.
