I’d be fine with them denying interviews for a year or two.
“Eff off, find your own talent.”
Well, not sure if Staley is to blame for this weekend's loss, but I also think he is got too much credit for the Rams defense this year. They have all-world Donald and Ramsey, and great depth on the d-line and the secondary. The linebackers kinda stunk all year, except for a few good games. Staley is good, but I think teams should have looked for a coach with a little more experience. JMHO.
Ok I’m sorry but what’s the point of these posts. We all know we lost a promising coordinator everyone wanted to keep. You’re not exactly making bold predictions here a super talented D gets a young up and coming D coordinator and they’re gonna be good. A team with talent gets better coaching and could be better than the rams.
you’re kinda just saying LAC > LAR and Who knows you could be right they have talent. But like is your mission to just rub salt in a wound?
Just staying frustrating observations of how we've buried ourself in a temporary hole.
We’ve certainly made some bad contract decisions if that’s the hole you’re referring to but losing Staley is not self inflicted. I can assure you McVay wishes he was still here too.
I know it's not self inflicted, I was more so looking at there roster and which wait at the moment there pointed too versus us.
We get a coordinator plucked from our team every year. We got two 3rd round picks for our Director of College Scouting being signed for GM on Lions. Why don't teams get some kind of compensation for having to rehire a new Coordinator every year? I don't think we technically had to let him out of the contract even. Would be nice if some type of draft compensation was given now that we have to do it all over again.
Well, if we start hiring minority coordinators every year we will get draft picks when they leave. /shrug
I am a touring lighting director for live events. If I bail on a contract to jump to a more favorable tour, I could be blacklisted. Theres different contracts I have to sign including non competes that prevent me from learning trade secrets (i.e. how certain illusions work in a magic show) and then leaving and using said secrets to make more money elsewhere.
Players can't just jump ship. What if Aaron Donald wants to go to Pittsburgh and they will guarantee him elite edge rushers and a defense designed to maximize his numbers and name recognition?
Would that be cool?
I don't sign anything longer than 6 months. Never had to but I would be very reluctant if offered. Are there ways out and are these contracts really binding in ways that will hold me accountable for breaking them? Yes and no....
When I design a lighting rig and show for a company, they don't own my intellectual property but they do reserve it during the length of my contract and I am not able to take that property and turn around and give it to a competitor for money or I could face serious issues finding another company to work for, let alone a potential lawsuit.
Im not mad at Staley. Or Lafleur or Taylor etc... but the way these organizations get to play by different rules than their players do does ruffle my feathers.
Building sustainable success in any avenue of the entertainment industry requires some sustainability.
Jmo.
And I'm upset.... Staley was the only McVay hire for this season that didn't leave me scratching my head.
Let's hope he strikes gold and not the defensive equivalent of Bonamego, eh? I mean, Ramsey and Floyd were great additions and Floyd was a Staley hire. Those resource allocations are a big reason our offense has taken a big dip in talent over the past two seasons. If Staley wasn't going to be a part of this unit next season, which I'm positive McVay had very little expectation of losing him immediately- do we sign Robinson or Floyd? New guy needs his pieces to make it work. Well now its time to put our resources back around getting the most out of the QB position. We need good O-line. Do we yet again spend our money on giving the next new guy his toys? Demoff and Snead have to think in terms longer than 1 season at a time. Losing our DC that we gave the keys to after one year is actually damaging our team just like it would my tour.
Im flattered you think I'm better than my opinion though. Cheers Den
Just a reminder, the Rams did go to the Superbowl 2 seasons ago, without Staley as DC mind you
