I’m all for giving shep another run at dc, BUT… (hypothetical)

I saw glimpses early on, I thought it was a great hire basically until the eagles game. And yes the guy dealt with alot of injuries, but so do many other teams I think this needs to stop being a crutch, either you make it work the best you can or you gotta leave, we did this shit every year with Aaron Glenn and I’m sick of it, there are other defenses in the league that make it work.

Here’s my concern, let’s just say we hire McDaniel (again hypothetical) best case scenario the guy is here for a year or two and then back to being a head coach somewhere else, all signs would point to him being a good oc here, he has the tools and he’s got a track record of doing it.

Are you comfortable then turning around and trusting this defense with shep? Wouldn’t we want to maximize the window we have with a premier oc and premier talent by having a proven dc? And hey listen even if we’re in love with shep why not bring in a special assistant that’s done the dc job well, shell the money up (you already price gouge us for tickets) and give shep a crutch to lean on, because this scheme sucks, don’t try and sell me the bears game.

Just a thought, I feel like we already blew one Super Bowl window by not prioritizing defensive pieces, if we have McDaniels next year, it’s more than likely open again, I can’t confidently say I’m all in on shep as dc in a Super Bowl run. Again hypothetical.
