McVay has proven more than capable so we will see how this whole thing plays out. Talk about your over reactions He just did this last year with the staff and we made the Divisional round of the playoffs. The draft isn’t that big of an issue. We are actually (likely) going in with 7 picks, 4 of them Top 100(ish) and another 4th round comp that should be in the Top 150. This roster still boasts 2 of the Top Defensive players in all of Football, plus plenty of other young talent on that side, as well as us having our LT (and best lineman) returning for another year, a WR corps that most teams would drool over and a young running back who looks like the real deal along with a good compliment to him. All of that and a competent QB, (and yes he is even if that only puts him middle of the pack) who has show the skills to be very impressive at times. So even if he doesn’t hit this “Elite” level some one you keep comparing him to, which you only are because we’ve seen him do that for a season, he can still drive this offense with one of the leagues best offensive minds and top HCs at the helm. Sure losing some impact guys isn’t ever a good thing, JJJ and Floyd will hurt, but we lost similar impact guys the few previous years also and plugged those holes. But we’re also losing guys who we need to move on from and upgrade at those positions anyway (Blythe, Everett, Reynolds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BStanRamFan Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I brought up Jerod Mayo last year and it appears he might be on the shortlist this year. ILB player and most recently coach for NE this year. I'd prefer someone in house, but Mayo and Leonhard seem to be favorites outside of the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-jax39 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hate to lose him but he did a hell of a job here and deserves this oppurtunity. While this does suck..you have to be proud of how far we have come as an organization. The league wants our players and coaches every year because we are doing things the right way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recent stint was with Atlanta as the interim for Dan Quinn. They went 4-7 under his coaching. He appears to have worked with McVay briefly in Washington in 2014. FA ties from Atlanta: Keanu Neal, Darqueze Denard, Damontae Kazee, Laroy Reynolds, Blidi Wreh-Wilson, Charles Harris. (meh to all but Neal).

Sort of. Quinn was fired after week 5. In the first 5 weeks they gave up over 30 4 times. The rest of the 11 weeks they only gave up 30 twice, both to the Bucs. They probably played KC as well as anyone. I don't know if this is a homerun hire but the Falcons clearly responded well when he was the interim head coach. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was in Tampa he was running a Tampa-2 variant - as he came up as a DB coach and intern under Monte Kiffin. In Atlanta, he looked like he was able to make adaptations to Dan Quinn 4-3 Over to get things better (not great, but Atlanta still lack a legit pass-rushing presence outside of Grady Jarrett). Really can't be certain as to what kind of scheme he'd bring in; I'd be hopeful of a hybrid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVRamsFan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Intriguing option he certainly got the Falcons playing better. Is he married to a 4-3 or a 3-4? Don’t know a ton about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know a ton about him. As I said on the other forum, expect a multiple D. I like the idea of it. Morris really turned things around in Atlanta after they fired Quinn. I think he's a very smart defensive mind. The only downside is that if he does well for us next year, he'll be a HC after the 2021 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a chance that we are gambling that it take 2 years for that to happen and we get another 3rd round pick for him getting a HC spot in 2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
