As we discuss other teams looking closely at our DC, and I ponder the exodus of good coordinators that have used McVay's tree as a launching pad, it brings up a problem I've had with the system.
Why are HCs paid so much more than valuable coordinators?
They should be paid more, no doubt, but the multiplier is what gets me. And it paves the way for coordinators to leave a good situation and chase the money. I'm not blaming them, I'm blaming the system.
Reminder: THERE IS NO SALARY CAP ON COACHES!
If the Rams have a DC, for example, that works really well with the HC, why wouldn't you do everything you can to eliminate $$$ from his decision? There is no guarantee for success leaving for a HC gig. Paying them well could keep them in a great gig for a LONG TIME.
Even under today's messed up compensation model, it may not be the right move. Just look at the extremes from McVay's tree, from Green Bay from Cincy.
