is there enough money to keep someone a DC when someone is offering them a head coaching gig?
Maybe, but why are we recognizing his mindfulness in so many ways and yet Staley somehow knows less about how the Jets are where coaching careers go to die? That not all ownership is the same? That not all FOs can consistently put talent on the field?
Eric Bienemy, Byron Leftwich and Robert Saleh should get gigs.
What helps the few teams who'll focus on defense is that the 9ers won't make the playoffs and especially if we go deep, teams may not want to wait for Staley. As well, with us not having a bye, there won't be time to interview until after the Super Bowl, and in general it's the teams that need the most fixing that have the last jobs.
So, while our D is putting the focus on Staley and he's getting the added shine of being under McVay who's coaching tree is growing like a Brazilian Pepper Tree (it's actually a weed and grows like one), the D can keep him here by continuing to ball out.
