And NO, I am not saying Byron is dumb.

I don’t think you’re calling him dumb. Humility is part of intelligence; he may recognize that head coaching opportunities are rarely to be passed up. What if Brady leaves, the bucs lose many skill players, and the offense regresses against his will? It happens, and then he is no longer getting interviews next off-season. 

Also consider his options; NY and Chi are just as dysfunctional as this franchise but in their different ways. Fields is nowhere near the prospect that Lawrence is, and in NY he either finds a way to salvage Jones or start from scratch. Denver is in the midst of a potential sale and again, no good options at QB unless the sell the farm for Rodgers, who brings his own set of outside issues to the table. Minnesota is soon to be in cap hell and Cousins is what he is. 

perhaps behind the scenes he will be given some input on drafting and scouting as Meyer. Also keep in mind rumors have said either he brings in a GM or is willing to work with Baalke. Simply put, we don’t know which one will pan out, and the truth might in the middle somewhere. Perhaps Byron brings in a player personnel executive who works with Baalke, or the scenario I described above, where he has input and can be a check on Baalke that Meyer failed miserably to be.

I want Baalke gone, but I’ve accepted Khan is going to Khan as he always does. So a consolation prize would be getting a good up and coming coach to hopefully minimize the damage and provide sorely needed development to our young prospect at QB.  I agree with this last part, I hope Byron can do that.

I hope you are right.

I honestly see Chicago as a better option though.

-New GM and fresh start 
-I think Fields has potential (I agree, Trevor has more) 
-Their roster is much better than ours
-Owner was also somewhat patient with Nagy
-They also have some cap space.

We'll just have wait and see what happens I guess.
