As well as Bruce Allen himself.

And then Randy Jordan played and coached with Oakland and then followed Callahan to Nebraska.

I'm pretty sure McVay is a positive reinforcement guy. I've never seen him really tear into anyone, but he commands respect bc his players believe in what he is telling them bc they see the results on the field.

I’m not even sure McVay knew if he was a disciplinarian or a players guy when he was hired because he was so young. Head coaches, much like players, need some time to find their groove. He knew he was an X’s and O’s wiz. That’s why the hire of Wade Phillips was so important. He was a bit of a softee as a head coach himself but his experience in handling the room was invaluable it McVay. I heard McVay went after him hard and all but demanded him during his interview. Not sure if it’s still the case but in their first year together I remember Wade handling the game (timeouts etc) while McVay was buried in the tablet with Goff when the defense was on the field. A lot of these young head coaches think they have it licked, McVay was smart enough to realize he needed help.
