[Billy Baroo]

was supposed to take Bills OC job but chose Rams QB position. Good get.

So you think he's a good fit with Goff?

Lot's of experience in WC offense. Tons of work both as an OC and QB coach. I might be a little sentimental but Steven Jackson has his best year as a pro under him as OC, I believe - FWIW.

Well we tried this experiment once already but QB coach might be fine. He hasn't exactly been successful anywhere in the NFL for his career.

Bortles did have his best season under him. Then regressed this year. Did he have Derek Carr at all while in Oakland?

It's striking that "Eh" seems to be an upgrade over feelings I've had about Cignetti and Boras!

I have my complaints about Olson. He's very knowledgeable about the WCO and will get Goff prepared mentally. My complaint is that he doesn't like to focus on QB mechanics. That means that Goff will have to get his own private coaching if he wants to improve his mechanics. Personally, I'd rather have someone who is more anal about mechanics. But I'll trust McVay.

He did coach Brees.

Did this guy coach Drew Brees at Purdue?..

Yes.

Anyone who can coach Joey Freaking Harrington into anything more than just pure garbage knows what they're doing.

It's interesting that he'd pass on the OC job in Buffalo (and probably a bigger paycheck) to take a position coach role in LA.

Olson is qualified for the QB position, it's a solid hire and a good sign he preferred the Rams. I do like he chose us over the Bills OC position. It demonstrates the clout McVay and Phillips bring to the table.

He did coach Carr in Oakland

 

[Scirca]

Coached by Greg Olson. That's enough for me.


Also, I have a great deal of admiration for Drew Brees. He is retardedly underrated and the most accurate QB of all time, and in my top 5 greatest QB's of all time, IDC what anyone says.

For those interested to know my top 5 all-time QBs: 1. Joe Montana 2. Johnny Unitas 3. Aaron Rodgers 4. Drew Brees 5. Peyton Manning

He also coached Josh Freeman (as OC) in Tampa Bay, where he (Freeman) did very well before imploding.

Olson is not replacing Cignetti/Boras, he's replacing Weinke.

Gotcha

Mcvay is putting together quite the coaching staff
