Treat your job like the stock market and sell before the bottom falls out. Take a different job for a year or two and allow your stock marinate in the minds of desperate NFL GMs that remember you in the good times. I think there is an aspect of actual burnout/outside stressors that factors into McVay’s situation. Loss of a close family member will do that to even the toughest people, and I don't even know how you attempt to console a wife who is watching her country in the middle of a war on their own soil - that's got to be really scary for her (with her family over there) and that's not something he can just wave away with a Berkin bag and a G-Wagon, y'know? He's got to be attentive to her emotional state right now as long as that conflict is going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVRamsFan Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 20 hours ago, Forge said: Since the rule change, you can't block promotions (which now includes positional coaches to coordinators) and seldom do you see lateral moves unless the staff is splintering due to a head coaching hire. Nobody really blocks anyone any more it seems like, though it's not always broadcast when they do. Very true, just saying this isn’t out of character for him. There is also talk that he wants to replace some of them and he’s encouraging them to find something else. Not sure that is because he doesn’t want to fire them or what but I’d prefer he just make the changes. A lot of us are hoping he’ll bring in an actual OC and give up play calling. Go to more of an administrative role and work with position coaches. It’s got to be exhausting replacing as many coaches as he does every year though.

NYRaider Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 5 hours ago, NinerNation21 said: Man, are the Niners going to be able to keep Ryans for another year? That would be sweet. It seems like all of the coaching rumors are about other guys. Ryans absolutely deserves it and would be a great leader of an entire team. But boy, if the Niners get to bring him back, that would be epic. I read that he's going to be very selective about the job he takes so I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in San Francisco next year. The Texans could be appealing considering his ties to the organization and the fact that they're likely going to add a franchise QB. But after firing coaches in back to back offseasons, I wonder if he'd want to walk into somewhat of an unstable situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we confirmed that Taylor Heineke is, in fact, not the little kid from the Cam Play 60 TV ad, except all grown up? Because, if so, that kid (whoever he is) has to be the odds-on favorite, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stronger case, if we dive a little deeper than the superficial, than Bienemy for likelihood of sticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think it may depend on whether Raheem is actually brought in for a 2nd interview with another team for their HC position, as to whether he'd be offered an interim position with the Rams. McVay and the organization aren't going to stand in his way of getting another bite at the Big Daddy apple to only, potentially, have him be a 1-2 year fill. If he's interviewed but doesn't get any offers, he's the likely promotion. If he gets tangible offers, my feeling is they may actually elevate Jay Gruden to that interim HC position (he's on staff as a senior offensive consultant currently), with he and McVay effectively switching spots temporarily.

Couldn't, in good conscience give the Saints the #1 overall, but get that one extra win and, well, the #2 is an entirely different proposition...

Seems like it would make more sense to elevate somebody like Thomas Brown in that scenario. It would give Brown a chance to prove to other organizations that he can run a team.

I'm guessing Mickey Loomis won't leave New Orleans, but maybe Jeff Ireland? Saints have had some great draft classes before, especially 2017; i think Ireland was responsible for that?

There has to be a division of power, I am too scarred from when Bill O’Brien was HC and GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling is that Brown likely still ends up elevated, but the organization isn't going to just throw him in the deep end; likely Gruden as a caretaker HC, Brown as the OC, and they'd go out and bring in a new DC (with Morris being hired away as an HC in this example), since I'm not sure we really have a viable internal candidate.

He had a huge say in personnel, but he let Mickey handle money and Ireland oversee the scouting. I’m sure he’d consider something similar wherever he goes.
