I remember where I was when the news broke. Driving to Vegas for the weekend and listening to Movin' the Chains on NFL radio and I eagerly waited for their take on the hire...

When they finally got back to it Kirwan's comment: "I'll give that one a year." Yeah fuck you and your BS insider information that you get from Pete Carroll. How do you like us now MFer??? :ROFLMAO:

Can't say enough about McVay though man. Seriously. Other than "thank you for hiring this dude."

It’s a nice turning point after years of futility under Martz’s later years, Linehan, Spags, and Fisher. Banked a good amount of karma to get where we are; looking forward to more fun years ahead

We can only hope that things remain fresh, fun, and exciting. We would be blessed to have McVay stick around.

I remember saying to myself....."Why did they hire a kid?!?!?!" Wish I was part of that interview process must of been fun and clearly McVay had a plan.

So grateful we got him and grateful for the way he changed our culture! Hope we are celebrating his 8th, 10th and 20th Anniversaries.

I remember asking my 'Skins fan friend if this was a good idea. He just said, "Well, if you liked what you saw here."

With the McVay hire/success, the move to LA and the new Taj Mahal stadium - the Rams are making a run for sustainable success and relevance. Dark days are gone!!

Here's the coaching search thread those weeks. https://ramsondemand.com/threads/rams-coaching-interviews-its-official-mcvay-hired.48120/

I was hoping I'd say something, but guess not. I remember being indifferent, just a wait and see approach.

Side note...I totally forgot that Asshole Face was considered as a trade. Also that no one hated him like now lol.
I was a fan of Asshole Face until his constant complaining about being robbed vs admission of failure in the playoffs turned me off.
