Fully agreed! For all my criticisms he is far and away the best coach the Rams have ever had, and he is a really great coach, which I have always been quick to admit, I just worry(ied) his flaws are potentially fatal if hte Rams don't draw the ideal matchups. Maybe that is nit picking. Every roster will have stylistic weaknesses. I just feel the Rams' are particularly pronounced.
He actually did not call a very good game today, IMO, but he did enough to get it done, and that is all that matters.
I do still plan on making a crow eating post about Sean, which I said a week or two ago, but have been swamped at work and have yet to get around to it. I think I will wait until after the Super Bowl posts die down, so that it gets more visibility, and people can all pile onto me to say "I told you so" instead of being deprived of that chance as it gets lost in the barrage of postings.
In short, I am super glad McVay is ours not for his coaching (which is great), but his culture building prowess, and his ability to integrate pieces seamlessly into an offence in short order, which are what I think sets him apart. The high-level stuff is what gives him and the Rams such an advantage and special edge, more so than the granular coaching details, where Sean is quite good but nothing spectacular IMO. What he pulled off this year is incredible, and has me, at long last, eating the crow I've wanted to years. Truly, a masterclass showing by McVay this year to take this group and put it all together like he did.
