Chris Shula please beware of the Miami job. They are NOT your Grandfather's Dolphins.
I don’t think he’ll be in a rush.
They’ve fucked up that roster and cap situation.
Recent candidates have been smarter about that.. avoid the shit shows.
 
Yep. When you're all laid back and the friend type coach as a genius OC you can get away with it as long as the offense is producing. But running the entire org, setting the tone with that laid back bullshit just creates a lazy workplace. Can't be the buddy type leader past a certain responsibility level.

Sure would like to see him not end up back in SF though. Rams should hire him as waterboy.
Water boy? Make him the OC. Would love to see what he and Sean can do.

Shula could always say "I'll take the job but I want complete control over the roster including drafting and trades". Hopefully Shula stays with McVay a couple more years, but I do believe he will be sought after if the Rams defense continues to impress.

I'd be fine with that. But that's not McVay's style. McVay's style would be add him in some made up role, replete with title. Then push his current OC out during the next offseason and call it some bullshit opportunity he couldn't pass up to Backwater State U, and move McDaniels to OC. Hence the waterboy comment. But yeah I don't care what they call his responsibilities, and he can have all manner of input power in the offense as well from a QA job or whatever. I agree we could use his gameplanning acumen.

I think he'll get there, for sure. That unit just seems to have its shit together and keeps adding and growing.

Even with all that control, I'd need to feel good about ownership and I'm not sure about that org.

I'm with you on hoping he stays a couple of year.

Btw... how much credit do we need to give to McVay when it comes to building a defense? It's something I've felt strongly about over the last few years.. I think he's way more involved in the concepts and structure than many give him credit for.

And how about crediting Snead and all those incredible draft picks.. Young, Turner, Verse, Speights, the safeties, Dolac, Tyler Davis, etc. Then there's the free agent signings.. Poona Ford and Landman. Just wow!
 
Wow is right!
I'm having fun watching Ty Hamilton as well.. he's raw.. but he's got some special attributes, imo.

Hamilton has slowly and steadily gotten more and more playing time. Honestly, Chris Paul aside, our entire 2025 class could be special (yes, Hunter included), and the fact that we got Dolac and a couple of other interesting players in the undrafted ranks (Brennan Presley and Tru Edwards at wide receiver) just speaks to how Snead manages to find diamonds.
