Whenever I see Mike McDaniel, I see the guy who would fail the audition if they made a live-action version of Joe 90.
 
Was Brett Rypien any better?
He is younger and less of a known quantity IMO therefor a better option. Plus you can't really compare the two since Boyle was a replacement for a healthy starter Rypien was subbing for an injured starter. Salah made the intentional decision to start Boyle. McVay had to because of an injury.

Good points

Ramsey already has 3 picks since coming back. Is there any doubt that the Rams’ system was holding him back?
He's still in his 20s and DBs can play well into their mid 30s. A slight regression in play is still better than most of the league.

I like coaches who can relate to players ... but acting like you are one of them in your verbiage does not bring respect or at least the respect you are looking for. When you when it's "all good". But if they keep making early exits in playoffs "that sh!t" is going to get old and the players will say "F*#k that sh!t".

Swearing is not the issue, of course, he can swear and it can be in the common vernacular. But too much? Won't last. A leader has to be elevated. Looked up to. A coach has to be authoritative and being on the player's level (to this degree) is a novelty, media loves it. But it's very risky.

He won't be taking "this sh!t" in five years.

You know, I actually appreciate McDaniel. He talks like I'd talk if I were a coach. Now, I wouldn't be a very good one, but maybe he leads the Dolphins somewhere? Who knows?
