I knew Staley would go to the Chargers because they actually have a much better team than their record. Staley would have a rising star at QB, good RB, good WRs, and some decent players on defense. They are a 8-8 or maybe a 9-7 team right now. Spanos would also try to glean off some fan support by the hire as well.
The big question is who will replace him? If McVay wants continuity then it would make sense to look first at the existing staff. Two position coaches stand out. Ejiro Evro and Aubrey Pleasant IMO would receive some serious consideration with Aubrey being perhaps the leader of anyone on the D staff who might be under consideration. Why? Because in Staley's scheme the play of the secondary is crucial and it's a fairly complicated scheme as a zone/man hybrid.
But McVay might look outside and that would bring some potential issues such as yet another scheme change.
As far as Holmes is concerned the natural replacement would be Ted Monago the Assistant Director of College Scouting.

And now it's down to two, Houston and Philly. Which is more desirable? I have no idea.
Unless there's a surprise, random firing or one of the playoff coaches retires I still don't get why Eric B. isn't more sought after. Or even Brian Daboll.
I think teams may know more than tweeters going apeshit over Patrick Mahomes' endorsement.

We are probably looking like we will have at least 3 third rounders every year for the next 3 years, which is exciting considering we have done very well with our picks in the round.
It's a shame we can't keep more of our talent, but getting extra picks helps.

Clayton: Seahawks catching breaks in the division and in OC search
By John Clayton
January 18, 2021 at 3:03 pm
The Seahawks have reportedly reached out to Doug Pederson about the OC opening. (Getty)
We all acknowledge that the NFL West is the deepest and best division in football. The division has great coaches, top-level quarterbacks and star players on offense and defense. The breaks for the Seahawks started last week.
It began with San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh getting the head coaching job of the New York Jets. Salah grew as a defensive coach and a leader to a point it was almost a guarantee he was going to get a head coaching job. The 49ers will have to see how DeMeco Ryans does in trying to replace him.
The other break was the Los Angeles Rams losing defensive coordinator Brandon Staley to the Los Angeles Chargers as head coach. Staley was clearly the assistant coach of the year. He came to the Rams from Denver and turned the Rams into the league’s top defense. In two years, the Rams have lost Staley and Wade Phillips. This will be a difficult hire for McVay. Staley stunned everyone with how well he did in one year. Of course, McVay deserves credit for hiring him and letting him make the defense that good.
Say one thing about McVay: He’s a great coach who can keep his franchise in the Super Bowl hunt each year, but he takes playoff losses hard. It took him months to recover from the Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots. Saturday’s loss to Green Bay might keep him scrambling for the next couple months.
One of the big stories to watch this offseason is what is going to happen to Jared Goff. Even though Goff helped get the Rams to the Super Bowl, he’s not in McVay’s favor and apparently hasn’t been for a while. It was easy to see when the Rams lost to Miami that defenses had figured out the Goff offense. If a defense can stop the run and not allow Goff to complete play-action passes, Goff struggles. His turnovers increase. He looks uncomfortable.
Following the loss to the Packers, McVay said Goff is the Rams quarterback for now. He followed that up saying the quarterback position is going to be reviewed. It’s almost a guarantee that he will bring a quarterback in to compete against him. It’s not out of the question for McVay to move on from Goff. Goff also doesn’t appear to be pleased with what he’s hearing.
Another break for the Seahawks is what’s available for offensive coordinators.
The big break was Doug Pederson being fired by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Seahawks have reached out to Pederson, who is from Ferndale. He would be the best hire for Pete Carroll if he does want to work this fall. It doesn’t appear Pederson will get a head coaching job. Only two are open: Houston and the Eagles, who fired him. It’s not known if he would be willing to be offensive coordinator.
He’d be a perfect fit. He likes the two-tight end offense. He likes to run the ball. He’s a great play-caller. He would work run-pass options with Russell Wilson and let him have a different way of cooking.
Passing game coordinator Dave Canales is also a candidate. He turned down the offensive coordinator job at Vanderbilt. The perfect scenario would be for Pederson be the coordinator and take the year to develop Canales as his replacement. Figuring Pederson would be successful with Wilson, he clearly would get a head coaching job the next season.
Carroll has reached out to a lot of coaches. He’s talked to Adam Gase, Anthony Lynn, Pep Hamilton and many others. This is a tough division for offensive coordinators, but if the Seahawks make the right move, it might not be as hard going against the Rams and the 49ers.

Maybe its like a Bill Belichick type of thing. How many unsuccessful coordinators did he have until GMs started thinking he had more to do with their success than they did? Andy Reid has a good track record with his offenses.

As much as I love the guy I just can’t see this working out.

Loved Bones as an ST coach, but yeah ... agree ... some guys are just meant to be coordinators.

IMO, he's not a Head Coach, but awesome let the Eagles interview everyone and then when they hire Josh McDaniels, they can say they exhausted all measures.

Here's an article before the 2020 season showing coaches with Andy Reid connections. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/ranking-every-coach-andy-reid-coaching-tree-1-10
It's a mixed bag, so I don't know how anyone can say conclusively how Eric B. will do either way.
Lions made it official with Dan Campbell. OK.
I'm almost 100% thinking this shit has been overblown way more than it needs to be.

Good for him. New Orleans blocked him from going to Cincinnati previously, glad to see he gets his shot now

Well, in fairness they blocked him because they allowed Cincinnati to speak to Dennis Allen their current DC, but Allen decided that he didn't want to join Zach Taylor in Cincinnati so after Allen decided to stay in New Orleans, then the Bengals requested permission again to speak to Glenn. It appears that Payton felt Glenn could take over, but now it appears Dennis Allen is staying in New Orleans.

I didn’t mean all of his coaches were unsuccessful. Belichick has had some successful coaches too. What I’m saying is if Bienimi does not interview well then maybe they wonder if it’s more Reid’s success with the offense than Bienimi’s.

The blocked him from interviewing and Cincy had to scramble to find a DC, and ended up with Lou Anarumo who's been on the hot seat ever since. At least justice prevails and an up and coming young coach gets a shot

Well, nobody saw that one coming and that's why Josh McDaniels is no longer ever considered for a Head Coaching job.
