Agreed man. Stan was different from day one. First hire he made was the best available coach in Fisher and he gave him time through the move before he made the inevitable decision. Then McVay was a grand slam. Owner matters. If you don't have an owner with a brain, you fucked.
I mean look at Georgia and how quickly she fucked up a good situation with Vermiel. I'm still surprised she didn't fire him in '98.

Having an owner with Billions of Dollars is a blessing too. Now some are not as good with that money, but Georgia was like Dean Spanos, the team was her income, whereas with Enos Stanley Kroenke, his sport teams are part of his legacy.

I remember thinking John Robinson must not have made her feel like a special princess when he sat down with her. Granted I'll give the girl credit for holding the GM accountable for a big offseason that resulted in a shit show. Though that should not have been a surprise when you're trying to work the kinks out of a young QB when you have roster issues.
But that defense was a steaming pile of shit too. In total they were without a doubt one of the worst teams in this league.
Keeping Callahan in place isn't a bad decision, since he probably has a better chance of doing well in his job than the GM did. But all that aside it felt like that roster lacked fight on gameday. And that's head coach wheelhouse right there. Also what the hell is his plan going forward and how does he explain the defense.

Interesting article on this on SI about Grubb pissing off the head coach. (It's not like he said he wanted to bang his fiancé, or called a surprise fake punt without permission).
'Disillusioned and Incompatible': Inside Seahawks Decision to Fire Ryan Grubb
The Seahawks believed Ryan Grubb would be the perfect fit to guide their offense under Mike Macdonald. But once the games started, stubbornness cost him his job
www.si.com
Sounds impatient to shit-can a decent OC who helped a team over achieve 10 wins in his first year in the NFL.
More than once we've all bitched at McVay for abandoning the run - - probably lost a few games because of it. Grubb, likely would have self-corrected some of those situational errors in year 2 and learned from this season. Doesn't seem like the type of play caller who would regress.
But, similar to Bones, never a good idea to cross the head coach.
Oh well, Glad to see the she-cocks blowing it up and starting over with the offense.

1st it is funny cause he is right there. Then it's funny cause hasn't he been paying attention? Baalke has already given him many credible reasons.

At least 60 years from now the fan base will have the 6 Super bowl trophies look back on. They will probably call it the Mayo curse.

The tweet is miss-leading.
The question was about 'Improving the Front Office' ... Not about 'Getting rid of the GM'
In my opinion, that's some Shitty reporting by someone looking for clicks and/or having an agenda.

Let’s think about that for a minute.
Would it be easier to try and find the right HC for your young QB in NE or Chicago or the HC to come turn around a broken franchise like the jets or jags OR…just let McVay do the scouting and hiring and just go poach one of HIS coaches?
In fairness, the Rams franchise was already turning around before McVay.
It started when Kroenke took over. He put a solid front office in place with Demoff and Snead. Then he hired Fisher. The organization was slowly ascending from the grave when they hired McVay who obviously was the crowning piece needed to take the organization to top tier status.
It's gonna take more than a brilliant HC hiring to turn these teams into winners. If I'm a young HC candidate I'd run from broken organizations that don't have a solid ownership and front office in place.

I'd pay to be a fly on the wall when Vrabel interviews and tells bowlcut that his OC is McDaniels.
