They really have. Sort of counterintuitive if they liked the work he was doing for the Rams. But that's McVay and Snead.

It does burnish their reputations as leaders who look out for their guys.

It's interesting, there's really no indication what McVay is thinking here. He's known this was a very real possibility for a while so i'm sure he knows what he wants to do.

He did not go in house when replacing Wade or Staley. With Staley, McVay wanted to go a different direction scheme wise. With Morris it was more about keeping the gist of what Staley had been doing.

So in house, out of house? Continuity? New scheme?


I don't even have a guess but i'm pretty sure McVay knows where he wants to go since this is hardly unexpected. In fact McVay and the rest of the organization have been doing their best to help Morris get a HC gig...





Makes no sense to not let someone go who you passed over for HC job

If he doesn't get a HC gig, he's got to coach somewhere, could be Carolina...

What I mean is....Carolina shouldnt be able to block him from taking another DC job. Hopefully they dont.

I would have been happy for him no matter where it was but you're right. Better than Seattle. Canales to Carolina. Leaves 2 openings. Seattle and Washington. So, let's make a couple of guesses. Ben Johnson to Washington (Boomer Esiason says it's so) when Detroit's season is over? Mike MacDonald to Seattle when Baltimore's is done? Or Dan Quinn? And if Quinn, why hasn't that deal been done yet?

And oh yeah. Give us that third round pick this year and next. How long before McVay announces his replacement?

I agree. It's a new head coach. Hopefully there's something in the contract that allows him to leave. Maybe the new head coach wants to bring somebody from Tampa to run the D?

Add Assistant Head Coach to his title and problem solved, no?

Elvis is 100% right. McVay knew this might happen. And like any smart NFL coach, he's not going to be caught by surprise. He's probably got 3 guys in mind.

Those days are gone. You can block anyone (under contract) from anything except head coach...
