If he goes, there will be trouble. It seems though, that some feel that, if he stays, it will be double. I just wish he'd let us know. This indecision's bugging me. If he doesn't want the team, he should just set it free. Hopefully, he'll soon let us know, if he'll stay or if he'll go.
Who knows?
A talented 4-12 team? And "we knew it"? Wasn't Goff a bust? He brought in 6 players on offense who contributed significantly. Whitworth, Sullivan, Woods, Watkins, Kupp and Reynolds. On defense not so much (Webster, Ebukam and J. Johnson). But we didn't win a postseason game that year. And by 2018, most of those guys he inherited were gone. On both sides of the ball. And we went to a Superbowl. I don't think it's fair to say, "every team adds and subtracts players now so saying he built this team does not feel right". Well in that case, then no NFL head coach can be credited with "building their team" right?
I can't see that.
I don't see how that could happen and the only precedent was Payton and he was suspended. I just can't see a coach be hired for a year while another one rests. I guarantee you either the organization will move on with another Head Coach or if the Interim Coach does a good job, then he will keep the permanent job.
Just my two cents.. it's a sign that the uncertainty is very real. Coen has a gig, for sure, with Kentucky... if Sean leaves? Who knows?
Yeah, that's a tough situation. If that were the case, it would have to be somebody on staff right now (like Arians was with Pagano and Vitt/Kromer were with the Saints). I could see that. You're certainly not going to hire outside the organization for a year. Yes, Payton was suspended and Pagano had cancer but the way this is being shaped is McVay may have a minor mental health problem. He's not finger painting with sideline chalk or wearing his jockey's over his jeans, but it's obviously significant. Same thing really. A respite. In the suddenly super-sensative NFL, it might be looked at as innovative.
I think I prefer the more proven Asshole Face, but if we are going for a young guy with potential Ben Johnson gets my vote.
Dan Campbell: Ben Johnson 'worthy' of head coaching opportunity after big year as Lions OC
With Ben Johnson, 36, calling plays for the first time in his career, the Detroit Lions finished fifth in the NFL in scoring offense (26.6 ppg)www.freep.com
Johnson 36...Campbell said this: "He would be worthy of that," Campbell said at his end-of-season news conference. "I think a ton of him. I think he's – I've said it before, I just think he's extremely bright, he's creative. He's organized. He's a great communicator. I mean, he just, he's got it."
Johnson graduated with a degree from North Carolina in Mathematics & Computer Science so he's smart and creative. I'm starting to like this as a possibility.
Oh dude now come on.
I'm not sure why you'd react that way.
If they hire a young guy who expects more than a year, then it pretty cements McVay not returning to the Rams. If they hire from within on a short term deal, then maybe he returns after a one year lay off.
