Well that doesn’t help Jim if he plans on staying at Michigan. Either a family feud is brewing or Jim’s already heading to the NFL.
If McVay bombed and Moore ended up being a huge winner, you'd have people saying similar things in reverse. "Moore was just a natural leader. McVay? He couldn't command a locker room." We'll see what happens when Moore gets his chance.McVay never looked like a sulky teenager that needs to take the trash out. His intellect shows through every time the camera is on him. Moore is not even remotely in his class as a HC prospect. That intellect is what stopped the Rams in their tracks and pushed them to hire him in spite of not having interviewed their top candidate Shanahan that year.
McVay just stood out in that way I mentioned, in his leadership coming across and knowing he can install a culture. Which the Rams desperately needed more than anything else.
The point you seized upon was just a shot that Dallas doesn't have culture. Their offense doesn't have great culture either. But if you put on tape of that old Washington offense that McVay coordinated they routinely did more than they should for the talent they had. You could see that effect McVay had. Dallas is just a superb collection of talent by comparison and that factors in here along with his interviewing ability and intellect.
Only one way to find out. But at the end of the day, a HC doesn't need to be some boisterous character. He needs the ability to manage the football team and coaching staff, he needs the ability to connect with players and earn their respect, and he needs the ability to manage the game. It also helps if he is great with the X's and O's.This site has an interesting quote that I think backs up what some of us see wrt Moore:
According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, Moore is not expected to receive a head-coaching offer from any of the teams he has interviewed with. Wilson cites “league sources not authorized to speak publicly” in his report.
Moore met with representatives from Jacksonville, Denver, Minnesota, and Miami over a span of about 12 days. But as per Wilson, “at least one hiring committee came away wondering if he has the commanding personality and leadership style to stand in front of an entire team and grab players’ attention.”
Yes of course. But he didn't bomb. He lived up to the guy who interviewed.If McVay bombed and Moore ended up being a huge winner, you'd have people saying similar things in reverse. "Moore was just a natural leader. McVay? He couldn't command a locker room." We'll see what happens when Moore gets his chance.

I'll wait and see who gets hired. A lot of retreads are being thrown around, but we'll see if they end up being the choices. I'm not so sure that it's very weak, but it doesn't seem to really have a slam-dunk guy at the top.Anyone else find this one of the least flashy HC candidate pools in a while?
Outside of Harbaugh, I can’t see a lot to be super excited about.

The Rams could possibly lose three. I’d take long hard look at some of the guys McVay has touted as future HCs to be some new coaches DC or OC, like Brown, Henderson or Shula.With all the openings.. how do we not lose at least one coordinator?

I think he knows that he can go for what he wants because he will succeed Arians if he sticks around for a year. I think BA is gone as soon as Tommy boy is.Read: Jags wanted to lowball Byron Leftwich and as he's not just clapping for their lowball situation, they're reviewing others in hopes Leftwich caves and takes their lowball offer.
Hey, I got an idea for them... David Culley is available... he'll take any HC job no matter how toxic ownership is and his players actually do play for him.
Honestly, I'm not sure that ownership group deserves Leftwich... and there's no way they're getting Hackett unless Denver shits the bed and goes for Quinn or can't get Rodgers and goes for O'Connell.
Not a good look for a franchise in disarray. Won’t even pay the coach? Great, get someone on the cheap.Read: Jags wanted to lowball Byron Leftwich and as he's not just clapping for their lowball situation, they're reviewing others in hopes Leftwich caves and takes their lowball offer.

Correct, Khan is just a cheapskate loser owner. Didnt fire Meyer earlt in the season to save a buck, at the cost of his new franchise rookie QB. I hope Lawrence gets out of there as soon as possible.Read: Jags wanted to lowball Byron Leftwich and as he's not just clapping for their lowball situation, they're reviewing others in hopes Leftwich caves and takes their lowball offer.
