There are inept Coaching Staffs in the NFL

[RonMac]

I admit to taking a few swipes at the coaching moves of our Sean McVay but despite a few warts he belongs - and then some. Living outside of New York I get a slobbergest of New York football talk and the two NFL franchises they have do not have a legit HC between them. After watching Jets HC Glenn for 7 weeks it is clear he is void of any HC skills. Today, I watched the Giants allow 33 points in the 4th quarter to hand Denver a 33-32 victory. From in game calls, strategy , player procurement , coaching staff hires etc … both of these teams are led by the worst coaches in the NFL bare none. Both teams have some quality young talent that are stumbling in the NFL darkness. As a 51 year Ram fan our Rams sit here at 5-2 in the bye week- in it for the long run - and - led by a winning professional HC. He may have a few warts - but he belongs.

Yep. Like NorCal has stated in here many times…. If we fired Sean, who else we hiring?.

Always nice when we win… basically means some of us don’t have to read constant bitching in here about firing the guy for a week.

He def belongs. Sure, he’s been shaky at times this season… but when McVay and Stafford are on the burner… no one, and I mean NO ONE beats us.

[NorCal RF]

Ok McVay has a few flaws. This isn’t something we didn’t know. As far as “he belongs”. I have no idea what that is suppose to mean………

Yes the league is dominated by bad HC’s. Again not news. Ours is not one of them………

Bottom line for the umpteenth time. If McVay left the Rams he would be the top guy wanted by anyone looking for a HC. You would also have other teams firing their current one to try to get McVay. He would also be paid the highest salary in the history of the NFL for a HC…..

Again for the umteenth time McVay will never become available by the Rams. Kroenke is a smart business man n isn’t stupid………

[RonMac]

My point was - tongue in cheek - that there are more than a few incompetent HC in the league with their own handpicked staff - and some of these teams just spin seemingly endlessly around the bowl - and today as a Rams fan we sit in a very decent position after 7 games - not perfect but no one is. Time to enjoy it a bit.

Wasn’t really pointed at you Ron… was just a general statement in here as some posters just bag on McVay…

Even though Sean sure has had his bad games, and boneheaded calls… you have to look at his career and what’s he done for our organization. Never have the Rams been this good, for this long and always thrown in the mix when speaking of contenders for a SB appearance.

I just don’t get the hate. Astounding to me actually. Shoot, we could be the Browns.

[RonMac]

No problem DM - I live and breathe in Giants land here and today’s masterpiece will have many of my Giants fan right on the ledge - their loss today just hard to even describe. It may cost DaBoo his job - a caveat may be the issue of team owner Mara and recent health issues and what a HC move would involve for him. Despite all the factors involved the Kronke/Snead / McVay trio is as successful and functional as any in all of professional sports and once you lose it or brake it up, it can be a horrid search to get it back.

I rather have McVay than any other coach in the league. We're always competitive with him. Sure, he ain't perfect, and hasn't been this season. But we're 5-2, did away with slow starts and we have a QB that leads the league in Yards and TDs. I rather have that than constantly hire coaches every four years.

The talk has already begun about Shula getting poached. But the truth is, some of the guys are better coordinators than they are head coaches.

Just look no further than our very own Mike Martz. Better offensive coordinator than head coach.

Then you have guys like Josh McDaniels (multiple failed attempts as a HC), Steve Spagnuolo, Robert Saleh, Mike McDaniel, Matt Patricia, Nathaniel Hackett and of course Brandon Staley. All very good offensive or defensive coordinators. But all have failed as head coaches.

I know everyone wants to make the big $$$ but I think McVay has really helped Shula get to where he is today. Maybe i'm a little partial on this matter or maybe I would just like to see some consistency under McVay but I think Shula should stick with the Rams.

I like what he is doing and I know the only open coaching jobs available would be on a crap organization. I think Shula to the Rams could be what Saleh is to SF.

Does this make sense to anyone else besides me?

[RonMac]

I think you are dead on with HC being anything but a crap shoot even for the most accomplished of coordinators - some guys are just better at being Robin and not Batman. I was thrilled when Spags was hired for the Rams - different deal then of course but wow things went sideways - and there are many other examples.

Ineptness is not even close to the word that needs to be used in the Giants loss. 33 pts in 1 quarter. Rushing 3 playing prevent with 40 seconds left. He must not needs must be fired. But as Giants HC is inept so is their GM letting Barkley leave. So is their owner John Mara who should have fired Schoen after the Barkley debachale. Now after this game he should have immediately fired Davoll but instead he gives him a pass. At least Kroenke after that embarrassingly loss he fired Fisher.

Yeah, NY is miserable and I'm glad you see the light! My buddy is a Jets fan and he is steering his kids away which is pretty easy. Don't even get me started on Cleveland. Anyway, McVay is probably the best coach in the NFL. Who would you rather have? Me? Nobody, and certainly not the choker douche Shanahan who is feasting on a last place schedule.

McVay switched it up with a brilliant move and went with 13 personnel 40% of the game which was completely off trend.

"McVay's plan was to play in 13 personnel (three tight ends) way more often than in the past. From 2021-24, Los Angeles used 13 personnel on just six plays total, and against the Jaguars, they ran 13 personnel on nearly 40% of their snaps. Three of their touchdowns came out of 13 personnel, and the Rams' tight ends were more involved than in any other game this season. Coen didn't expect that, and why would he? Who would expect that a veteran coach would go back to something he's done six times in the last four years as their main method of attack on a random international game?"

We are so lucky to have him. Just think of the heinous STL days.

Exactly. And yeah, the "he belongs" hit me the wrong way too. It implies it's even up for debate and it's not. This will be his 8th winning season out of 9 years including 2 Super Bowls.
