Why not? I think I know the answer... and isn't that why you'd want him with the Rams?
Important! Not a one-trick pony.
Proven track record of success in
different organizations... important to me.
Isn't that precisely what this team needs right about now?
So, there was this guy named Martz...
Bottom line: I don't think that Goff is someone who would respond well to someone like Martz or Shanny.
He responded well to Sonny Dykes who's an encourager, not a driller or shouter. He's an encourager, not a demander.
And that's the difference.. We HAVE Goff. And I don't think Goff's a fit for Shanny.,
Now, if they get Shanny, I'm sure they'll all try to make it work, but I don't think it will be optimal and I'll articulate why.,..in detail....beforehand...like with Fisher....and I'll be right...again... because these guys are so remarkably consistent that the behavioral analysis is easy. In other words, it won't be magic to say that Shanny will believe more in himself, his offensive philosophy and his methods MORE than in Jared Goff's talent, so he won't WANT to adjust to how Goff works. He'll want Goff to adjust. And if Goff can't adjust? Then Goff will have to go. And didn't we just have an issue with a coach who thought that way? Now, it turns out that Matt Ryan was able to reconcile his issues with Shanahan, but a) we don't know that it's sustainable. Even with his success in Washington, there were issues regarding morale and staffing regarding Shanny. We know that Martz burned people out and b) we know from others who are Shanny's type that his style of "drill" and "my way" coaching just doesn't work in every venue. Tom Coughlin couldn't win everywhere. Parcells couldn't win everywhere and it wasn't until Vermeil EASED UP and was humble enough to change his offensive philosophy that we won it all. Before that, Vermeil couldn't win...HERE.
There are no guarantees in life.
But based on all the inputs I have, Sean McVay is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE better than any other prospect, expressly because of how he fits, not just with the organization, but expressly with our young QB who is escaping an historically bad offense (schematically and performing) and our young RB who was clearly demoralized by the offensive dysfunction.
Moreover, the idea of adding Wade Philips? That may actually be a bigger addition than McVay. Not even kidding. I mean...if you guys thought AD was good before? Hoooo buddy.
Last year, there was no reason to be drunk on the Kool Aid beyond harboring the faintest of hopes.
If the Rams sign McVay and Philips... you're gonna need a note from the Doc to NOT get drunk on the Kool Aid, cuz this team will improve immediately and immensely. You watch. The defensive guys, especially... will be GIDDY.
I can see it as clearly as I type this.
It's like being able to render the Matrix in realtime... so cool....
