That move addressed the fact we had no corner specific expertise in this defensive staff.
And I think it demonstrates that McVay doesn't believe Lake can be that for us.

Lakes first 9 coaching jobs were defensive backs coach or assistant db coach. Again I'm not a Lake fan and I agree with what you said there. But again I'm not going to exclude Lake from the judgement you assign solely to Pleasant and Shula. A minor disagreement IMO hope we can still be amigos
Yeah I don't think the disagreement is all that great. I just don't think Lake is a factor at all, but the bottom line is neither of us think much of him. It may be that McVay asked him at some point in the season to get involved, who knows. But the nice thing about McVay is he will make the move he needs to make if that was the case.Lakes first 9 coaching jobs were defensive backs coach or assistant db coach.

Gotta read McVay based on his moves. He'll never come out and say what it is because he tries to save the ego of the coaches he casts off. But the guys he's not happy with will move on even if the new job's a downgrade.
If that's a "let's make the superstar happy" type move by the new head coach, he's about to learn a painful lesson.
Tough call here because the locker room is going to be very difficult to win over with the departure of Schwartz, so the easy hire of the three is Jason Tarver, who has been a DC before with the Oakland Raiders under Dennis Allen. Cory Undlin has been a DC before too in 2020 with the Detroit Lions, but only lasted one year as the Lions fired Matt Patricia .
Undlin has the most experience and Tarver might be more welcomed, but IMHO, Mike Ruternberg has the most upside with his background (Ivy League) Cornell graduate and did coach under Robert Saleh in San Francisco and with the New York Jets as the LB Coach. Again, Todd Monken is put in a no win situation so with that being communicated, if Tarver is well received with the defense IMO, I would go with him because the other guys will be swimming upstream right from the outset.
Thanks for posting. I would miss stuff like this.
Another young defensive coach pulled from the college ranks. Believe Wright graduated in 2015 (that was the last time @kurtfaulk purchased new socks), which would make Wright around 32 years old ... same age as recently hired DBs coach Michael Hunter.
