Aubrey Pleasant gone

[yrba1]

McVays gonna have a hell of a coaching tree out there.

It's certainly the antithesis of the Belichick coaching tree

 

[Ellard80]

ehh.. so our secondary is good because of pleasant?

Somehow i doubt it - just being honest.

 

[FarNorth]

We deserve it. He should have become our DC this time.

Rams are in no position to complain. In effect we pushed Pleasant out the door by not making him DC. He had other options and he chose one.

 

[rdlkgliders]

The upcoming season will tell us a lot about our team, it's FO and it's coach.
We will also learn much about their ability to formulate a winning tradition while being challenged by their own successes and the attrition it brings.

It's kind of shocking that he's just the secondary coach there. We couldn't give him that title here??

Secondary Coach and Defensive Passing Game Coordinator.

He's basically the same thing in Detroit so it's not like he got promoted either.

 

[SWAdude]

I hate to say this again,

but these are good problems.

We will replace these quality people with other quality people I hope we lose also.

I'm with you 100%, our secondary has been underachieving for years. This past season was the 1st outstanding season so it's more likely due to Staley.

 

[Rams43]

I wish Aubrey all the best. But I’m not gonna lose sleep over his loss.

BTW, what’s the over/under on when McVay/Morris hire his replacement? Thursday sound about right? Lol.

Secondary Coach and Defensive Passing Game Coordinator.

Like in the past with the Assistant Head Coach Tag, you cannot block a position coach if they give them a Coordinator Tag, I wish the NFL would just specify Offensive or Defensive Coordinator's that's all because this is what teams do when the flood gates open.

 

[Mackeyser]

Does this mean we can get the water boy from another team if we throw in "refreshments coordinator?"

3 big losses for our coaching staff/FO. Hard not to see us regressing next year tbh.

Regression is likely due to our FA losses incoming. That much moreso than who's showing the corner how to line up in outside leverage lol.

If Morris kills it we'll be fine. If he doesn't Pleasant probably wouldn't have changed that result.

It's kind of shocking that he's just the secondary coach there. We couldn't give him that title here??

He's been passed over twice now under McVay. I'm sure McVay told him "I don't think you're ready" or whatever his rationale was and now Aubs gets a chance to move up in a new spot.

I don't like losing Pleasant, but I don't think it cripples us. He's a great CB Coach. I'd call him one of the best in the NFL. If we don't land somebody on his level, we'll miss him. Look what Williams and Hill became under his tutelage (after both being waiver wire additions). Still, great coaches get promoted. That's the game.

 

[jacktheripper85]

The discussion about “what if’s” and coaching staff makeup was already had before McVay offered Morris the DC job. They knew Pleasant could possibly leave and Morris probably already has his replacement that he discussed with McVay along with some others prior to either party making a commitment.

And who knows-McVay may have told Pleasant to explore other opportunities because he was allowing Morris to build his staff and he couldn’t guarantee him a job.

 

[PressureD41]

I think McVay was so pissed at how the offense produced, he felt bring in an ex HC w/ secondary expertise and someone he trusted, thereby he can really get the offense back on track this offseason. Just look at how pissed he was every post game presser. I too was a huge A. Pleasant fan too. Liked how he could get through to the difficult type players!

 

[Gandalf]

Morris has been around and should have good connections. Now he can go pilfer some coaches from other teams. What comes around, goes around.

This was rolling thru my mind too. The ability to retool but “stay the same” in many ways.

It sure sounds like that’s part of it and McVay figuring out his own role with schemes.

That’s one of those things until you become a HC, feel the full load of that, figure out what is needed and adjust to something like this.

How well has Long Jr. developed under Pleasant?
I expected something more.
The 4th safety sees the field more than him.
Maybe not all has been rosy.
