THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^

Saw someone share about how tough it is to be an NFL coach and how much it costs them.

PLEASE!!!!

Success never comes easy. Look at the tenure of the current NFL coaches who have experienced some success as McVay.

To be honest at this point I wish he would pull the bandaid and leave so we can move on from this uncertain discussion. It is unhealthy for the team.

If that retires other Rams players so be it. They are not 100% in the game which is disgusting to me.

Sooner the better

Could the Rams, who don't want to lose him bit also don't want a less-than fully-committed McVay, respond ... 'Take 2023 off. We will even make you a paid consultant'; and then go with Morris as an Interim Head Coach and Coen as the Offensive Coordinator. All with the intention/hope that McVay returns re-charged in 2024.
This is something I suspect they are discussing. Especially with the weird thing with Coen being offered Kentucky but him kind of standing on the fence about it for months now. May know that there is a possibility he'll have more responsibility next year.

If it keeps McVay here long term I'm all for him taking a sabbatical.

When does Les Snead step back into the picture.He sure seemed to find the spot light when things were going good.

Now, Schrager just speculated ... he was not reporting it. He also did not mention Raheem Morris; and went in a direction I had not considered. That being the impact it would have on Stafford, Donald and Kupp; and getting their input and buy-in; or, possibly, dealing some of them for a re-build.
I just feel with Raheem Morris the best we can get is mediocrity. Now I could be wrong as I assuming he would promote DL Henderson to DC and keep Liam Coen as OC and have him call the plays, but with Morris I feel like he would be a hire similar to Dennis Allen in New Orleans & Todd Bowles in Tampa. Both former Head Coaches with losing records and thus both teams finished 8-9.

Let's hope this Ram Organization knows if its present HC will be here in 2023 as its HC rather shortly. It would damage this Org if this drama goes on for a long time when it's up in the air. Meanwhile, many other teams are already months into the early process of finding the right HC for themselves.

One would think to help the Rams Org. McVay will make a decision here in a short period of time in order not to place this team behind the 8-ball in finding the appropriate new HC to help bring this team out of the 2022-season septic tank.

I'm glad there's no speculation about Mr Kroneke leaving.

Due to Stan's patient, highly professional, "hands off" reputation and massive wallet he will get to choose from 99.999% of the football coaches out there should McVay need to be replaced.

I'm not the least bit concerned.
We do have that going for us, which is even more important than having a top head coach. Because as we know well, without the owner even the top coach you may luck into will leave and you go back to who you were.

A coach of McVay's ability would be an enormous loss, though, of course. Even to a top owner like Stan. But we will not have decades at a time of wasteland teams with that dude paying the bills and for that I am grateful.

I Don't Know either; and I am also Forever-Hopeful when it comes to the Rams.

Also agree that a #1 pick is a lot to ask and get.

However, I do think New Orleans will ask for and get more. On one of the morning shows earlier today, one of the insiders (might have been Rapoport) said Denver and the Saints had already discussed compensation.
No agreement but they were on the same page, and the compensation started with a first round pick.
Denver has been a revolving door for coaches.
I'm sure they are willing to give away the farm for Asshole Face.
They have been a mess.

I think it would be foolish, though.
I dont see any coaches in the playoffs, that required picks to aquire.
I'm not giving away high draft capitol for any coach.

I love Stan, but presently with Head Coaches he sits at 1-1 with hiring Fisher, then McVay. Now Kevin Demoff really does the hiring, however, it's a major collaborative effort. I'm just hoping they go outside the organization and don't take the safe route with Morris like New Orleans & Tampa.

I absolutely hope he stays.
But if he’s not 100% in mentally and is a bit going through the motions due to burnout, then it’s probably best for the Rams if he did step away. As crazy as that seems.

If this is going to a yearly question then I'd prefer he'd move on. I want to get behind a coach who's here for the long haul.
I've been thinking about this exact thing myself. I don't want to have to go through this issue each and every year not to mention it's gotta be hard on the players wondering about their coach.
This ongoing drama could also adversely affect FAs from coming to the Rams.
McVay needs to state his intentions in no uncertain words and then follow through with integrity.
If he can't or won't it's time to move on from him.

If McVay decides to leave the first thing Stan must do is offer him a role as team president. I would offer him bank along with putting his ass in charge of the entire thing, knowing and trusting that he would leave no stone unturned in building the right team. Also he is well connected and on top of league trends, so while he might miss on some head coach hires over the long term McVay would get it right. Basically he's the kind of performer you want to surround yourself with if, you believe as I do that you are only as good as the people who work for you.

For the next head coach I would take a very long look at Brian Flores. I don't care that the guy told the Dolphins owner to get fucked when instructed to lose. In fact I prefer non-yes-men. I prefer people who tell me straight and with truth. In that respect Flores is my kind of dude. Also he is a real leader, the type of dude who can stand up in front of a room full of the best players in this league and read them the riot act if necessary. Which is something that to me is important, knowing that leadership is in place for when you hit your first period of rough seas as you inevitably will.

What I expect Kroenke to do is what he has done every time the job is open, which is pursue whoever is the top candidate. Fish didn't win for him, but he did move the bar and at the time of his hire he was the top man on the market. McVay was also very highly regarded and probably would have gotten the 9ers job had Stan not hired him. So projecting this to the current lineup of coaching candidates I imagine he has already let Asshole Face know he's in the mix for him if his head coach hangs them up.

I have to disagree.
Cordially, of course.

Would you want to be a head coach, working under a micro-manager like McVay?

I'm certainly not aware of any front office personel, that are top shelf HC material.

I much prefer personalities like Kroenke, whom hire guys to do their jobs, then step aside and let them go to work.
I'm not sure that is McVay.

I suspect he wants to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather. I'd rather have him do that with us than in SF.

I could get behind someone like Brian Flores with a strong OC in place. Would prefer Flores over Morris his current record is 24-25 with two winning seasons in 20-21 before he was fired.

I respectfully disagree. I think he is 2-0. Fisher was perfect for what the Rams needed at the time, and many of his drafts shaped what McVay was able to do once Fisher left.

McVay was next level after Fisher plateaued.

I do agree with going outside the organization for the next hire, as opposed to Morris.

I'm envious of the stability the Steelers orgination has.

They make solid hires and ride through the good and bad.

Baby steps.
Let's see if he can assign play calling duties to an OC, without constant middling.

Then work up from there. Lol
