I think McVay is in a position right now where IF a top coordinator type who is on the hotseat (in either a HC or DC role) gets the axe, he should snap him up. Who would this be? Well there are some quality options poised to get the axe...
1. Jonathan Gannon (Cards HC). Look the dude is a goofball, which hurts him as a head coach. But as a DC he was very good. And historically when a coordinator gets the HC axe they tend to jump back into coordinator duties and kick serious ass. He's young, he's sharp schematically, and I would love to see McVay add him as <insert made up coaching staff title here>.
2. Doug Pederson (Jags HC). What I like about this potential hire is that he could come in for a midseason role of some sort, then slide into the OC job after the season is over. I think the quality of the OC affects McVay's teams. And I think Pederson would be quite good and also wouldn't be hired away too quickly even if he adds a strong offensive knowledge base to this staff.
3. Mike McCarthy (Cowpokes HC). I have Mike below Doug because he is more hireable into another job. It would probably be a collegiate job I'd say, but the two are similar in that they are WCO tree coaches who would bring strong knowledge to McVay's staff.
4. Antonio Pierce (Raiders HC). Lot of folks will give me shit here but that's ok. Pierce was always a leadership stud as a player. He's got the knack for getting players to run through walls for him. And I think he has the tools and the mentality to become a top end DC in this league. Pair him with McVay and you'd have something special. Problem is he'll be hired away rather quickly if that were to happen, though it would result in a nice pick which I'd be ok with.
