Rams hire Washington Redskins OC Sean McVay as the new HC

[UVA_Guy81]

My bad @UVA_Guy81, I read this as one sentence...



Instead of this...



Sucks getting old, the eyes are the second thing to go, and I can't remember the first.

No biggie.

Would be interesting, but do we REALLY need that type of OC when McVey is supposedly a "whiz-kid" with offensive strategy? Not sure what we do OC wise because of that...Might be a guy who has worked under him before who knows how McVey likes to run things so they could work together perfectly?

Agreed. For OC, I would expect him to promote one of his positional coaches from the Redskins. Wade Phillips' kid Wes was his TE coach, could be an option. Since McVay started there as the Skins TE coach as well, he could see himself in Wes a bit.

 

[Vitamike]

No biggie.

Yep, but when you realize you are wrong, best to fess up, and acknowledge it.

Sort of bugs when people just ignore it when they are wrong, or try to restate their original statement in an attempt to save face.

Dammit, just admit it!

Because when you do, like you said, it's no biggie.

Yep, internally Wes is viewed by some as an up and coming talent like McVay was. As it stands he's a possible candidate for OC for us. Or maybe not now.

 

[Vitamike]

No idea about OC or other staff spots.

Any news of John Fassel?

This is the most current new I could find outside of the interview process.

I wonder if @Retroram52; @bluepigpen, @Smed55 or anyone else old enough to remember, can recall the last 31 y/o Rams HC ???

I'm not sure who we will end up signing, but you'd think that having McVey would be an advantage if the Rams decide to go after DJax(as long as his demands aren't outrageous)...

It helps to be 50 million under the cap

McVay is definitely an offensive wizard. I have a feeling when he gets all the pieces together your team's offense will be reminiscent of The Greatest Show On Turf.

Yeah but its not really 50m. That # is without resigning Tru Johnson, Kenny Britt, Brian Quick, Case Keenum, T.J. McDonald, Zuerlein, Benny Cunningham. Thats probably about half of the 50m. They need to give Ogletree an extension to he will be a FA in 2018.

Why would they resign Keenum or Brian Quick? While Cunningham and Z will come in low.

They might not but Keenum is the best QB on the roster at the moment and they will have to replace him with someone. He would be a solid back up. Cunningham and Z won't be much but it will be more then what they were making.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

This is interesting. I was under the impression that a team couldn't block an interview for a position that would be a promotion

 

[Battlelyon]

Anybody still upset about losing Greg Williams?

 

[Vitamike]

they will have to replace him with someone.

No, they can go with 2 QB's.

And they can draft another QB in the late rounds, if they want to be safe, they place him on the PS and still just keep Goff and Mannion on the 53 man roster.

That's what I thought too. Gotta to be more to the story, maybe he was to actually interview for the OL job?

Everyone knows we could use some talent there.

So no veteran QB? Yikes. I bet Case signs somewhere else and the Rams pick up a cheap Vet. Mark Sanchez?

Vita 2 QB's with our OL? come on. We need 4
