As we all know, Rivera has a thing for his former Charger players. I think it is not out of the realm of possibility for him to convince Hurney to sign a few backup/mid-tier guys who once were in SD.

I'll start by saying Marcus McNeill was a legitimate top 10 tackle before he caught the injury bug. He's still somewhat young (27 I think?) and even though he missed 7 games last year due to neck injuries he could be a nice, cheap addition to a position where we need depth since Otah is a walking piece of glass and Bell is nothing special. Yes I know, you're probably thinking why add another walking piece of glass to back up a walking piece of glass? Well just like JStew and DWill keep each other's legs fresh, the same would happen with Otah and McNeill.

Also, we all know that Kareem Osgood was released, and this team needs a complete special teams overhall. He could be the second coming of Karl Hankton, only better.

I'm all for becoming the Carolina Chargers as long as the players we sign will work in our system and aren't overpaid bums like Olindo Mare.

      That is pretty wild but I guess it does speak pretty highly of him that VT welcomed him back in a lesser role shortly after firing him. He was Franklin's DC at Penn State for years prior to taking the VT job so it makes sense on that front. Says a lot about Frankin too to keep the former HC around, the prior working relationship no doubt plays a big role there. Can't imagine keeping the fired HC around in a lesser role unless he'd already worked under you in the past. Being a really good coordinator doesn't always translate to being a good HC. I guess credit to VT for not losing a good coordinator because he failed as a HC.

      Evero is growing on me as DC

      He isn’t in any of the HC conversations this year but he was a couple of years ago. I can see Tepper trying to resign him due to the improvement this season and wanting the 3rd round picks if he gets hired somewhere else. The coaching candidates are weak as hell this year, Evero may think he has a chance at a job or can backfill a DC of a contender if they leave for a HC job.    BUT this also gives Dave and Dan an opportunity to bring in their guy, so will be interesting to see.
