I seeing reports that Anthony Lynn just may take the HC job with the Chargers…he might not be in the fold just yet.

“Rams hire McVay.”

You don’t bury that in a long thread about many candidates. It’s news!

Well ag already started it.

Sorry man, I’m not a big thread starter and didn’t want to put something out there that fits in another thread.

I get what your sayin about “news” and I agree.

Source: Rams probably will not be interviewing Kyle Shanahan. They’re zeroing in on Sean McVay, though nothing is finalized yet.

Wow…that is surprising.

All reports are McVay has been outstanding in his interviews, enough so they don’t even want to talk with Shanahan huh?

thinking about it i want shanahan. he’s just got the better resume. more qbs he’s worked with and helped develop. shoot. he helped develop cousins too!

but it isn’t just that. he’s developed running backs. at all stops. he’d be great for gurley.

but it’s not just that. he’s made a positive impact on offenses. at all stops. his system is proven with several different personnel. with different quarterbacks.

but i go back to the running game. it’s not just about goff for me. i think the fit needs to be good for gurley too.

i just don’t see that breadth with mcvay. that makes a difference to me. and i don’t care that gruden says mcvay is gonna be really good. i could care less about that guy’s opinion. i just see what shanny has done, and i believe it’s the perfect fit for both goff and gurley. as well as the oline. and the receivers for that matter. i remember what shanny did with those no name receivers when they went up against the rams without julio.

All great points, and I see things the same way.

For me, and I’ve said it here a few times so…broken record time….it’s about the coordinators. I don’t have a clue who Shanahan is proposing and not even sure if McVey really has Phillips in the bag….but if he does, it sure got my spirits up.

It’s official.

Excited to announce Vance Joseph as head coach of the Denver Broncos!

I wonder if the package deal rumors have swayed Elways thinkin?

For the record…I’m fine with the package deal…just not thrilled with daddy as a GM.

If Vance Joseph gets the job that could put Phillips on the street. VJ is a defensive guy and would MTL want his system and guys in place.

If it plays out like that, I would hope Shanahan gives Phillips a call from LA and has him fly out for a steak.

cuz i’m not exactly sure how it would have benefitted fisher to leak that. it was only going to make fans angrier.

Fisher said in a radio interview after being fired that one thing that disappointed him in the organization was them leaking the extension news.

So according to him, it wasn’t him.

.

I’m not buyin it…why would that disappoint him? I would think he would be upset they didn’t release the info.

I once had a boss tell me he was giving me a promotion but wasn’t giving me the title and we couldn’t tell anyone…I quit a week later.

we are in good shape to get the Shanahans

Let’s hope not.

I don’t want the Shanahans plural.

Dad Shanahan was a mess when it came to the personnel/GM stuff. I have no idea why anyone would want him.

And in terms of giving Kyle advice, there’s always the phone. Just phone Dad. No need to have him on the payroll.

…

I like the Shanahans..plural.

I’m not suggesting him for GM…possibly VP of player development. I’m not big on Coaches as GM’s because when in the middle of working on the game planning and such you aren’t working on watching college guys…now that he’s not a coach he will have a different eye for what he’s looking at. The guy knows football and he knows the O Kyle is gonna run…I feel confident in his ability to identify talent along with Snead.

It seems as though our line was built for zone blocking and the Shanahans are a zone blocking O…perfect fit for TG IMO.

I really enjoyed that article and thought the guy was spot on….just ask him.

I agree with Clemson at 24 only Bama only gets 20

24-20 Clemson and the ACC win the Championship.

Plus the coach has the greatest name, even better than Jimbo

So they’re clearly targetting a focused specific thing, but then they cast such a wide net, meaning it;s not clear what they’re after?

Not sure I take it the same way…in fact, I certainly don’t want them narrowing their search to exclusively one type of HC.

As stated in previous threads, I’m squarely in the “The coordinators are very important” category…In fact, if I were interviewing that would be one of my first questions.

So…Even though I would like a promising offensive minded guy (Shanahan, McVey) I wouldn’t like it if the Rams only wanted to talk with those types of guys.

Also, in one of the Demoff articles posted here, he stated some of the interviews are informational only…getting info from that years opponents seeking info on other teams perceptions of Rams strengths and weaknesses.

Yeah I tend not to read/listen/watch until after I post things.

Luckily I didn’t approach marriage the same way.

Are you saying you actually listen to your wife?…hmmm, interesting.

No reason to get on a ledge if the Rams don’t hire Shanahan…Plenty of good candidates out there..McVay is quickly rising on my wish list….Patricia has risen also…and I always remind myself it’s not only about the HC it’s about his staff.

Raiders offense looking more and more like the Rams offense as the game progresses

Yep complete with dropped passes and penalties at critical points to negate positive plays.
