Bottom post of the previous page:

I think the Lions coach is good with young players but is a nitwit when it comes to 4th downs... I couldn't deal with watching that coach every Sunday.

The Broncos look completely undisciplined.

I do like the Chargers and Bills coaches

I would like to see Shula take over the Rams head coaching spot at some point.

I'm not sure what the unemployed coaching pool looks like out there, but McVay has been making better coaching decisions the last two games and the offense is looking really good. But I don't think I'll ever be a McVay fan....

Oh.... did anyone see McVay limping after Sundays game???? I think he pulled something running up and down sidelines like a hyperactive 10 year old.... That I wish he would stop doing.

Yes I did see that. I said to myself what's up with Mcvay. Hopefully it was only his leg falling asleep from stand in on sidelines for hours.

Harbaugh is doing great things with the Chargers. No denying he is a great coach.

I like Harbaugh too but the offense looked awful last night. so much for them being a running team. granted it's along yr but right now they are not a playoff team IMO. they tried losing that game last night

"I would like to see Shula take over the Rams head coaching spot at some point". You want a second year Defensive Coordinator to become Head Coach of the Rams, because you don't like McVay for whatever stupid fucking reason, who's the Rams winningest Coach in history? Bad take after bad take. He deserves to get called out.

[NorCal RF]

What distinguished “coaching style” does Shula have. Hasn’t he been under McVay for the last 9 years……………

[DelMar]

I’ve criticized Sean McVay plenty of times before, I’ve had my issues with him, but the truth is the guy only does one thing: win. That’s all he does. And you can’t criticize winning. Since he got here, the Rams have basically been a playoff team every single year. We’re talking eight seasons, five playoff appearances (and if we make it this year, that’s six out of eight), two Super Bowl trips, and one Lombardi Trophy. That’s an elite résumé, period.

And let’s not forget: in his very first year with Stafford, he already did what everybody dreams of — won a Super Bowl. That head coach–quarterback duo has delivered more in a short time than a lot of franchises manage in decades.

That’s why it’s ridiculous when someone keeps hammering away at McVay and Stafford nonstop. That’s not analysis, that’s an agenda (THIS!). And that’s exactly what Truth does every single time: he just shows up to tear down a top-3 head coach and a Hall of Fame quarterback. That’s not constructive opinion, that’s pure bias.

Now, I get what Glendora said — having a stupid opinion isn’t against the rules. Fine. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s annoying and exhausting, because it drags down the quality of the forum. The simple fact is this: with McVay, the Rams went from being irrelevant to being a consistent powerhouse. You can nitpick about playcalling or certain decisions, sure, but you can’t argue with results.

So when someone tries to claim that McVay or Stafford aren’t good enough, it just shows they’re not looking at reality. Because the reality is that with McVay in charge, the Rams are always on the map, always competing, always winning.

You have been his toughest critic, but also extremely fair Brasil.

People listen more when you are fair. And to me, you have always been fair. People will ignore others in here when they have no evidence, are not fair and purely post from emotions

Very good post B, and fair.

[NorCal RF]

I like Shula's defensive structure and how he get's the most out of the defense. Though McVay has been very good the first two games, last season he didn't always prepare the offense according to the other teams defensive weaknesses, and in many occasions didn't get it figured out until the 3rd quarter, which is why Shula's defense had to bail him out on many occasions last season.

This season McVay has been spot on with the offense. And the mistakes on offense have been made by players.... Dropped passes and untimely holding calls. The Rams are a 30plus point a game team if McVay continues with this approach.

I’m going to be respectful here. How in you know what can one say he didn’t prepare the offense for the other teams weaknesses. What we were with them the entire week? We have no idea how he prepared them and considering McVay watches how much film during a given week one can be rather sure he actually does prepare like a lot of NFL coaches. We do remember the injuries to the offense at the start of last season? We do remember that Nacua came back when? That didn’t have an effect?

Maybe it was simply player execution. Hmm………….

Since he got here, the Rams have basically been a playoff team every single year. We’re talking eight seasons, five playoff appearances (and if we make it this year, that’s six out of eight),

Being a touch persnickety here, it's already six playoff berths over eight seasons, four as NFC West champion (2017, '18, '21 & '24) and two as a 'wild card' team ('20 & '23).

Equally importantly, Sean McVay has eight postseason victories as head coach of the Rams, twice as many as the next-highest total of four by John Robinson.

Hopefully him being hobbled for 2-3 months won't affect his coaching effectiveness... :? ;) :geek:

RAM POWER!!

[Truth]

That is a ridiculous list. First of all, to even get to ten you had to repeat two teams — the Ravens and the Lions. And honestly, I find it very hard to believe you actually think the Chargers, Lions, Ravens, Bills, and Broncos all have better head coaches than the Rams. That’s absolute insanity.

These guys are getting their teams to the playoffs, sure — but guess what? So does McVay, every single year. The only small difference is that in the past five years, McVay not only got to the Super Bowl, he actually won one. None of those other coaches can say the same.

you could argue each GM " likes " their guy and just would not trade for McVay. I don't think that is saying McVay isn't better than a lot of those teams

Exactly. Cornell said 95% of NFL franchises wishes they had McVay. I don’t believe that.

I don’t think the Lions would take McVay over Campbell after the success Campbell has had building the Lions.

Same with John Harbaugh. He’s had longer level of sustained success than McVay. Ravens aren’t wishing McVay was coaching them.

The Broncos wanted Sean Peyton. He has lot of success in NO and they been terrible since he left. I assume they like where they are at.

Jim Harbaugh has been a winner everywhere he’s been for longer than McVay.

Chiefs/Eagles aren’t wishing McVay was coaching them.

Would the 49ers fire Shanahan to hire McVay? I doubt it.

And for Felix that thinks the Rams will never be good again if McVay left. Look at the Eagles. Doug Pederson won the Super Bowl for them. They later fired him. And then won another Super Bowl with another guy.

McVay will probably end up similar to Mike Tomlin with the Steelers if he stays around long enough. But you don’t see Steeler fans ever suggesting Tomlin is a top 3 coach in the NFL.

[NorCal RF]

OC you can speak for yourself but I think your statement was one of that list isn’t replacing their HC because relationships have been built within those organizations with success. It wasnt a reference to none of them would want McVay if they were looking for a HC…….

So just for the hell if it let’s say all of those teams had a HC vacancy. And let’s say none can hire who they currently have. Yes I’d say almost all would have McVay at the top of their list. That’s the bleeping point which makes Cornell actually right…….

I like how we have no comment on what brasil said. Hmm I wonder why………

And it’s again a SYFH moment when we make stats so damn important but we ignore the most important stat of them all SB wins. Other than Reid who on that list has more? How many have zero? But hey not important………

[brasilrams]

I said at "some point" putty head.

I like Shulas coaching style more so than McVays..... Sorry if you can't handle that.

Oh, you like his "coaching style" better? WTF does that even mean? Shula has been a DC for two years ( actually a little more than 1 year ) . He’s been pretty good, yes, but how can you prefer his "style" over McVay’s for coaching?

Again: players will leave it all on the field for McVay. This dude has been a top 3 head coach since he got here 8 years ago. Shula has a little over one year as a DC only . How can you compare, and how can you prefer his style? Please, elaborate, because this doesn’t make any sense at all.

[brasilrams]

Well ya!!! That's why we were 1-4... injuries.

But there were many times the offense didn't get moving until the 3rd and 4th quarters. I stand behind last season Shula's defense bailing out the offense on many occasions. And if it wasn't for the D, we wouldn't had made the playoffs.

This season McVay offense is pretty dominating and has more structure to it. The offense appears it can withstand defensive lapses and doesn't have to rely on the D to close out games..... well so far.

The defense carried the offense, and vice versa, multiple times during McVay’s tenure as a HC. You think when the defense is playing well, McVay has no input on the defensive game plan? Do you understand that McVay is a bit of a control freak (in a good way) and he won’t just stand aside and let the DC do whatever he wants? He is the HEAD COACH. If the defense is playing well , you can bet that is a plan that the DC and Mcvay created TOGETHER.

It might be worthless at this point. I tried helping this poster the other day. He doesn’t listen. Just deflects and makes no sense half the time.

[brasilrams]

Some of you people must be relatives of Kevin Demoff.
I remember I used to post on RealRamsFans and some of them were the beers with Devaney group who never ever would allow anything other than unabashed cheerleading.


When McVay wins as many Super Bowls as Bill Belichik, then I’ll understand treating him as such. And even Belichik was fired.


But when you bring this stuff like “top 3 coach in the NFL, and best OC in the game”…and I look at the stats, and I look at the rest of the teams around the league, sorry it’s just garbage.


If you say McVay is an above average coach, I agree with that.


But when you guys starts arguing McVay is the greatest coach ever, and Snead is the greatest GM ever, and the Rams are the bestest team ever.

Sorry it’s just wrong.




Till then, it’s a joke. And Felix I’ve read your comments in the game thread and now this thread. Clearly you suffer from Schizophrenia

I don't remember anybody saying that mcvay is the best coach EVER . But he is a top 3 HC in this league since he got here , that is for damn sure . Outside of Andy Reid who has MAHOMES and now maybe Sirianni , no other HC has had his success . Your list of 10 coaches better than him is a total joke and I already said why . Bill Belichick Had tom Brady ( making WAY less than what he deserved , just to help the CAP ). He got fired because he can't draft for shit and it was proven that without Brady ( that means without a top 5 QB making LESS than warranted to help the cap ) he could not win SHIT . Mcvay went to the SB with GOFF when goff was a SHADOW of the player he is now.

You are a freaking joke. The Ravens can’t even get to the SB with Harbaugh. He and Lamar are the biggest chokers in the playoffs, ever. Campbell is an idiot, going for 4th and 17 on their own 30, lol. They are never going to a SB with this guy in charge, just never.

Sean Payton better than McVay? I need some of the drugs you’re using—must be some top-of-the-line shit. Chiefs and Eagles are the only ones that make sense.( and even then , it is debatable )

Shanahan lost to McVay when it really mattered. Sure, he won a bunch of times in the regular season, but lost when it really mattered. I bet all SF fans would prefer McVay over Shanny. Little Shanny got to one SB and lost, McVay got to two SBs and won one. I fail to see how Shanahan is better than McVay. Go to the niners board and ask if they would swap shanny for mcvay and I guarantee you 95 % of them , would.

yes if one of those teams had a vacancy of course he would be #1 on the list

[DVA_ram33]

Man some people are never satisfied.. McSnead have given us the most success ever as a franchise and we are still complaining.. I guess people will not recognise this until they are gone..

For what its worth, I only put Andy Reid above McVay and that could change with another SB for McVay.

Correct. And it’s just yes that poster and the past 2 weeks at times, not always, another poster.

I stopped reading this thread 2 days ago. Just scrolled to the bottom so I could post. ;-) We can argue the same points for days.

People are not going to change their minds. Save your breath arguing.

Shit take after shit take. You have a personal beef with McVay for whatever reason. Cool. Be a man for once and take that up with him. Hes a proven Head Coach. Up until last year, Shula has never been a Coordinator. And you want a dude, who until last year, didn't have any experience as a Coordinator, to be the Head Coach of a team, all because the proven Head Coach, who's been to two SuperBowls mind you and won one, has a coaching style YOU don't like? And how does this make any kind of sense? People like YOU deserve to be called out for stupidity.

[FelixTheStonerCat]

Maybe just don't feel the need that someone always has to share your point of view.... Sometimes I get the feeling that McVay is the father of or family member of some of the posters here.... god I hope not, and if so I apologize for criticizing someone's family member here.

McVay gets three Super Bowl victories, I'll put him up there with other coaches that have won three or more.... And so far this season he's off to a great start.

Oh? So now because you cant handle a bit of criticism, we're related to McVay? You're ruining the quality of this place with your posts. Hes the best Head Coach we ever had and you...have an issue with that?

My stance is what brasil said on page 2 and I won’t change my mind:

“ having a stupid opinion isn’t against the rules. Fine. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s annoying and exhausting, because it drags down the quality of the forum.”

Other forums of this board index are quickly stated as a “ stupid opinion” even harsher, when a poster’s opinion is viewed way too far one way. Not accurate full of non facts. My last sentence is my issue in this forum on those rare times. And yes it’s far n few. I’ll just leave it at that and again echo what brasil said……..
