He was a coach in the NFL for four years. Is it really surprising to people that the majority of the other coaches he knows are from his successful brief stint with the Rams?
Nope. That’s my point. With more time and experience there are many more relationships built to pull from. Staley was hired as a head coach too soon. Even McVay at his young age has Ben able to pull in staff from all over.
Besides that, are the Rams coaches the only ones good at coaching. There aren’t other coaches who may want to interview? Staley came to the rams from Chicago. Isn’t that the point of interviewing? He doesn’t have to know a coach personally to hire one. He could interview some Niners, Packers, or Bengals coaches if he wants a similar system. Plus there are other versions of the West Coast offense that other teams run. Andy Reid has been pretty successful. Why not interview some of his assistants? Someone should want a promotion and a shot at calling the plays.
Because these guys jobs are on the line and they go with two things. One what they know and two guys that people they trust endorse.
Nine words ... "God Help Us!!! Evans and Kolone are protecting Stafford!
Well, I don't care the injury factor IMO, Jeremiah Kolone & Bobby Evans had no business making the team and should have been cut early on with the goal of adding others. In fact, I felt Jack Snyder played well and deserved to be added to the practice squad over Kolone, but because Kolone had hung around so long they kept him and because Bobby Evans had played in a few regular season games they kept him.
It's interesting how McVay continually talked up Evans. It wasn't Carberry out there singing his praises it was the boss, yes we don't get nearly as much media time with the OL coach as the head coach I get that. With how much we heard about Evans from the boss I find it hard to fault Carberry for Evans being a reserve OL especially when we heard the boss say why he was a reserve. Anyways it's pointless now they're both off the Rams and no need to kick guys when they're gone.
I am guessing they saw natural ability in Evans, but were frustrated with his lapses in picking up stunts etc... and were just hoping the light would come on especially with how desperate they were for help. They finally pulled the plug when it was obvious there was no electricity flowing to the light bulb.
I personally was never a fan of Evans but that's just me. But it will be interesting next year, there is always a guy on the OL for the Rams that fans like to abuse. Who's it gonna be?
Good chance he got that opinion from his OL coach. Which is undoubtedly one of the reasons he was fired.
Good points and McVay did call out Evans and I thought he was trying to convince himself. Again, I will never understand what the Rams saw in Evans, whoever it was, however, he's gone now and hopefully better days are ahead.
We can speculate about that with every player for every coach. In the end though McVay watches and directs the practices and see's Evans in those. Even if Carberry does say this McVay has all the evidence in front of him and never changed his tune until Evans was released.
Great points!
First off McVay talks up everyone. He's politically correct to a fault. It drives me apeshit, one of the few things I dislike about him. He talked about Tavon like he was Randy fucking Moss at the presser where they moved him for a ham sandwich.
He doesn't talk up everybody but he doesn't talk people down.
There’s a lot of good coordinators to consider. Doesn’t he follow the league?
If they all do their job well then nobody will be complaining. I don’t recall any complaints about a specific Olineman in 2017.
Well I’ll give you that. I saw Jack Synder in training camp & said he was better than Bruss.
Well in 2021 I didn't hate anyone on the OL - I felt we could do better but I didn't hate anyone like I did this year with two players. Well hate is a strong word. Maybe it is more of "they had absolutely no business being on the team - even as a back-up" type of attitude.
