1. Keep Baalke and hire Bevell.
2. Get rid of Baalke and hire Byron/Wilson

Can’t interview Baalkes last ditch effort in O’Connell and even if you wait, there’s not a guarantee he wants to come here. He will most likely get hired by Minnesota before then anyway.

I really wish someone did a deep dive on the worst coach hiring process ever…. This has to be at the top.

Right.

The only thing I can't understand is the silence around the Byron situation. That's the only thing that makes me remain hopeful...if the deal is off, why aren't his agents trying to put him out there on the market again? I can't believe no one is even going to interview him (and the Saints reportedly asked permission for that).
Why is that so silent from Byron side?

Other than that glimmer of hope man....a complete disaster of a process. 1 month and a half of searching and we are here reading Schefter tweeing we can't interview a guy because apparently our staff didn't even bother to interview him when they could.

Never seen anything like this before. Someone joked about it but we'll really end up with David Culley lol
