The pluses would be that the players have confidence in him and seem to like playing for him. But so they did for Gus so...

Anyway, if they're going to make a clean sweep, then everyone needs to go. If Baalke's staying though, choices may be limited and they could do worse.

I agree with that.  If it comes down to Bevell or BoB, I would definitely go with Bevell.  And he wouldn't be calling the plays.  

That would be the "we just need more and better players" choice.  Continuity with the coaching and the schemes, Cullen stays, Schotty is the OC, etc.  Maybe upgrade a few position coaches.  Just no Urban Meyer.  

Based on rumors and speculation, of course, it would also be the the "we can't find anyone else 'cause no one wants to work with Trent" choice.

Agree with this; and the continuity argument fits perfectly with Khan's past track record, for better or worse. And Cullen with better players would grow even more into a top DC, IMO; he could open up the playbook more and create more schemes. I also get the sense that Bevell is the type of personality that wouldn't be affected by a dysfunctional GM. Always upbeat, but in a realistic sense. Calming influence. Takes the high road when others go low. And seems to have the respect of the locker room.
