A guy does not survive 15 years coaching in the NFL if he's that thin skinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen that anywhere else but that would be … interesting. Mark served as a coaching intern during training camp under both Sean and Pete Caroll at different points over the last 10 years. I think he’s always been interested in coaching, just didn’t want to leave Denver. That being said I’d be very reluctant to make him the sole OL coach 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kupers wanted to be a coach since HS. Started coaching when he retired, and interned for 7 years I think before the vikings hired him as OL coach. Schlereth hasn't done that.

It is completely obvious and it’s exactly what happened. But you are welcome to believe something that confirms your priors, I don’t think Evero was tired after three days of Payton being here, he wasn’t working. If you are talking about George Paton, that makes even less sense. Paton is on the hottest seat of anyone in the organization and there may be nothing he can do to prevent his dismissal. The head coach does not report to him anymore, that’s a major change and it hurts his standing. And nobody had better standing on the football side than Evero, something he may have been able to leverage into a raise. He didn’t want to because he was upset that his best friend of 20+ years was fired and arguably in some ways scapegoated for Russ being terrible.

BroncoBruin Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I think the most likely outcome is hiring Sean Desai, especially if Fangio recommended him for the job. He did overachieve with an aging Bears defense in 2021 and is about as close to running Fangio’s scheme as anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Has Desai interviewed yet, or has it been scheduled yet? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Mike Klis@mikeklis It will be interesting to see how many Denver defensive assistant coaches Ejiro Evero tries to bring with him to Carolina. There are more coaching openings in Carolina than in Minnesota, which may have factored into Evero’s decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your fingers crossed. He hasn't been a coach long. "On March 4, 2021, Strief was hired by the New Orleans Saints as their assistant offensive line coach under head coach Sean Payton," He has no other coaching experience.

AnAngryAmerican Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) It’s refreshing after our last three HCs to see someone like Sean come in and be calm, focused, direct, informative, etc. he’s certainly has some gravitas to him and the ability to take control of the audience in the room. He is an extremely detail-oriented guy and that was clear today. We still need to see what the staff is going to look like but I do feel better today about the hire than I did a week ago. Interestingly, we should be able to have a good gauge as to just how good of a HC Sean is and how important coaching is to team success this year as we have few draft picks and a limited amount of cap room. The biggest area where we need help - the O-line - isn’t a spot where there are east to find, marked upgrades available in FA or in the mid-to-late rounds of the draft. Even early rounds of the draft are hard to get day-one, high level contributors on the OL given that the college game has gotten so gimmicky that only a select few OL prospect are pro ready. Sean is going to talk a big game and say all the right things, he certainly did today and I don’t see how that changes. And expect the Walmarts to use team PR and friendly media to push the “we will be a playoff team narrative,” and while I think we will be improved I don’t us being a worst-to-first team; I think getting to around .500 this year is a reasonable expectation.

BroncoBruin Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The Strief hire makes me wonder if Roushar is a potential OC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
