Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I'll stay focused on what knowledgeable football minds are saying, and what their actions say by spending so much time on McVay. You can focus on..a number.

Ok and I'll lean on the history of the NFL that agrees with me.

Young HCs are nothing new. John Madden, Jon Gruden are a couple guys who were young successful HCs.

You know the only difference between them and McVay? McVay got into the NFL quicker. That's the only difference. So he comes out younger, but no less experienced

31 is something new.
Gruden was 35 and Madden was the exception to the rule at 32 almost 33
But I get it, mcvay is smarter and learned more than any other coach in history faster.
Hope he proves me right coaching another team.

That's fair. I'd definitely be very disappointed in him but who knows? Maybe he surprises me.

That's what I'm trying not to do. There's no reason to be disappointed before we see any results. Guys like John Harbaugh, Mike McCarthy, Asshole Face, Jack Del Rio, and Mike Tomlin are all viewed as quality head coaches now. Back during the hiring process, all of them were likely guys you would have been disappointed in.

Harbaugh was a special teams coordinator. McCarthy was coming off a year where he was OC to the NFL's worst offense (San Francisco). Payton was the AHC/QB Coach and had been pushed out of his previous coordinator job in NYG. Jack Del Rio had a very mediocre record in Jacksonville and hadn't done anything that impressive with the Broncos defense. Mike Tomlin had only been coordinator for one year to that point and was reportedly interviewed to satisfy the Rooney Rule.

On the other hand, guys like Josh McDaniels, Steve Spagnuolo, Gus Bradley, Mike McCoy, Ken Whisenhunt, Chip Kelly, Jeff Fisher, etc. were all big names and hot coordinators who flopped. You just never know who will be successful and who won't.

You would think he if he liked any of the Offensive assistants on the Skins, he might bring one or two of them with him.

He also might know some of the NFC East teams assistants fairly well and might be able to pluck someone from those staffs. Just guessing though of course...

The last 6 years he's only been tied to the NFC East and exclusively with Washington.

Are we hiring the Ginger Rifle as our next Head Coach? ;)

Faster? No. Just earlier.
 
dieterbrock said:
Yup because McVay is that much smarter than the rest. Got it.

No, because Gruden liked him enough to hire him at 22 instead of a little later for most assistants entering the NFL. I don't understand what you're getting at? No one is saying McVay is the smartest guy in the history of ever. He's just a bright guy who got his start in the NFL very early and ran with it and is now getting HC interviews because of all the qualities he brings.

Can they meet with him tomorrow? They better seems unfair to be grounded by weather, but typical.

Will / Would be interesting to see what kind of staff that McVay could put together

From what I understand; head coaches interviews weigh heavily on who they want and can get for the coordinator positions.

Weather-Gate? ;)

Shanahan will most likely end up with the Broncos anyway.

McVay could also attempt to bring Bill Callahan with him from Washington as his OC even though Washington doesn't have to grant that request (and they might not with all the Trash Fish talked over the years). Callahan was a wealth of head coaching experience, experience as a play caller, and is the best offensive line coach in the league. Could be a huge resource as a right hand man for a young coach if they can swing it. Bring a great young offensive mind and former head coach/play caller who is best OL coach in the league, just what the doctor ordered if you ask me.
