McVay has done a great job replacing these lost coaches (I'll give him a pass on Bonamego because of what we know now about his health) so I trust he'll do it again. We could see the rise of Coach Henderson after he got that college interview tbh. If McVay thinks he's ready I'll trust it though a more experienced guy might win out, Evero is a possibility as well.
I don't blame Evero so much because of what he was given to work with from McVay and Snead. I do love me some Aubrey Pleasant but Scott, Long and to an extent Rapp all have shown progress. I just think they were used in roles less suited for them. I also mainly listed him because he's been with us longer than Henderson has but I think Shula has been here the longest of those three. He may go in house or he may go with another vet who was let go from his last team.Yeah both Henderson and Shula have units that have played lights out. Shula has gotten a lot from what he's been given too.
The secondary hasn't done well enough though for me to think Evero is held in real high regard, think they let the good one get away. So two candidates from within for sure IMO.
Not to say that McVay won't bring someone in though, he likes shiny objects I think.
I just wonder how many "friends" he has outside the current organization that would be good DC's. I can't think of a fired DC or a DC for a HC fired this off season that I'd want over a new guy. Maybe I'm missing somebody
He didn’t know Staley.
Fair point but did he think the guys he had in house then needed a year or two of experience before promoting them? It's going to be as always an interesting off season. I wouldn't rule out an in house because he hasn't done it in past. It could just be they weren't ready in his mind and may be ready now.
If he doesn't go with one of the Harbaugh's that's a very real possibility.
Still Mcvay didn’t go in house either & lost him.Staley almost hired him as well & wanted Kevin O’Connell.
