Rams hire Washington Redskins OC Sean McVay as the new HC

[Battlelyon]

I want Case out of a Rams uniform.

 

[Vitamike]

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

I know what you are saying but placing another on the PS is a way to keep 3 in house. I have a bigger problem with your first point.

So no veteran QB? Yikes.

The number of NFL starts between Goff and Mannion would be the greater concern.

Just not too many FA QB's with a number of NFL starts, that are cheaper/better than Case.... so we may try to resign.

I just think Case feels he can do better somewhere else, because even under McVay, he wont get the chance at open tryouts for the starting job.

Getting Goff to be the Franchise guy is part of the reason the Rams brass brought in McVay to run the show.

I agree this is Goffs team now. Plus I don't think Case was to happy getting Yanked out last year. He will be gone most likely. I was surprised Case made 3.6m last year pretty expensive.

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

Only needed 2 this year, and really only twice during games due to injury/concussion protocol.

 

[shopson67]

Keenum will be looking elsewhere for an opportunity to start.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

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.

Just read that teams are not apparently not required to allow position coaches to interview for coordinator gigs.

Must be the promotion has to be a HC position I'm thinking.

 

[Vitamike]

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

Well there's your answer Caliskinsfan....

Teams may block assistants from interviewing with other teams for positions other than head coach.
Report: Dolphins OL coach Chris Foerster blocked from Rams OC interview

 

[UVA_Guy81]

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.

I feel the same way. I have no problem admitting it if I'm wrong on something. It's just a message board, no reason for anyone to get bent out of shape over something so insignificant.

That is bs, should be for any promotion, maybe he can pull a George Constanza and try to get fired.

What is the point of living if you cant act irrational from time to time?

 

[Vitamike]

That type of stance could hurt the Dolphins ability to hire up and coming coaching assistants in the future.

I know if I were in the position for hire with options, and was aware of that going on, I would do just that.
Go somewhere else that wouldn't try to keep you down.

Yeah, he wont do that. It sucks for everyone by him being blocked.

 

[shopson67]

The blocking coach was blocked, lol.

 

[J-Rod]

I didn't realize who Sean McVay was until he was in conversation to be our next coach. He did a damn good job with the Redskins offense. Welcome aboard, Sean. I really hope you can turn our dysfunctional team around.

Not saying that you can't act that way at all. Hell, I've made an ass out of myself on here numerous times but looking back, I admit that I'm the only one to blame.

4 most important 2nd-year players for Los Angeles Rams with Sean McVay

 

[Vitamike]

So who will McVay bring in as OC?

He worked with both Matt Cavanaugh and Wes Phillips in Washington. Matt has a lot of experience and is more prone to running the ball than Sean would probably like, and Wes doesn't have any experience in play calling. (Been there and done that, but who knows)

A couple of other experience OC's on the open market would be Norv Turner, (Just don't see him being a good fit because he is a 'my way or the highway' type. Then there is Bill Musgrave,another OC with a ton of experience. he too is a run heavy OC and may not work well with what McVay brings but still a ton of success in his 8 years as OC.

Some long shots would be names like Chip Kelly, Sonny Dykes and Randy Clements.

 

[Battlelyon]

Los Angeles Rams deserve credit for identifying completely fresh start with McVay, Phillips

Sean McVay will call plays, fit scheme to players

The Rams were obviously impressed with Sean McVay’s offensive acumen or they wouldn’t have made him the youngest head coach in the NFL.

He’ll get a chance to show off that acumen as the team’s offensive play caller. McVay confirmed that he’d be the one responsible for calling the plays at a Friday press conference and said that the plays he’ll be calling will be based on a scheme built around the strengths of players like quarterback Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley and wide receiver Tavon Austin.

“What I think dictates and determines what a great coach is when you talk about forming an offensive identity, it’s about first let’s figure out what our players do best,” McVay said. “What does Jared do best? How can we maximize Todd and Tavon and our linemen up front?”

McVay has not hired an offensive coordinator yet and one candidate, Dolphins offensive line coach Chris Foerster, has been blocked from interviewing for the position. Whoever does get the job will certainly have a hand in putting together the plan for the offense on a weekly basis, but they won’t be the one telling Goff what to run.

 

[Smed55]

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

Harland Svare

Nope, never heard of him??
