I certainly understand why some of the guys may be moved (Kelly, Moore), but Gilmore wasn’t dead wood. Moving Gilmore is a signal they are still planning for the future and not trying to win this year. It’s somewhat understandable with a rookie QB likely coming in. However the argument has been they were building up the rest of the roster to support a rookie QB and to be ready when they got their QB. That’s how people have defended what they’ve done. It’s a questionable move that isn’t simply related to new coach - especially when the DC and scheme are the same.
