HC Sackings

It's the fact that McVay has been able to make it to two super bowls with such untalented rosters.

Unprecedented.

it seems you're irritated mcvay's coaching tree has grown so quickly.

i've often lamented why mcvay's staff gets raided so often as he hasn't won anything yet. constant change in coordinators is not easy to overcome.

it could be worse though. the rams coaches might have been dan quinn and arthur smith.

i was talking about 4 head coaches signed up in 3 years. has any other coach been poached so much in such a short time?

.

Quite possibly... and from the chain I pointed out.

I'm pretty sure Mike Shanahan lost at least 3 in 2 years just before he left the Broncos (2 of them were to colleges, but they were his staff on the offensive side of the ball going to HC roles), Kubiak being one.

Bill Walsh may have had a similar thing happen twice, probably at least once (can't be f**ked going through the years): Sam Wyche/Dennis Green/Mike White left about the same time, then about a decade later Holmgren/Rhodes left around the same time.. can't remember but it feels like there might be someone else around that time.

Brown's tree (f**king forest, more like) could have produced similar but the only ones I know offhand were either years apart (Noll, Walsh) or left the Browns for HC roles when he got fired. Different time, I guess.

Worth noting though that all those guys had won titles *before* their guys got poached like that. So that's different.

Dude it's the fact you're claiming all these guys as disciples of McVay that's funny to me. Zac Taylor at least worked with him more than a year. Lafleur worked under Mike and Kyle Shanahan for about 8 years and apparently learned nothing off them. 1 year for McVay and he's suddenly God's gift to coaching. Oh wait, Sean McVay is God's gift to coaching! Kliff Kingsbury never actually worked with or for him, but he's his friend too, so we'll claim him! 😅

that's the way it works. that's how they work out the coaching tree. nobody hired lafluer before he worked for mcvay.

although he did become the oc for the titans for a year before he got the packers hc job. however everybody places him on mcvay's tree.

mcvay and lefluer are both on shanahan's tree. or gruden's tree. it's very confusing.

but once they become a hc their tree begins.

If you were half a decade younger your user name would be Bill Brady.

I have no love for Brady except trolling salty fans.

unlikely.

i have no interest in teams that cheat to win. otherwise i'd be a storm fan if winning was all that mattered to me.

his name is Liam Coen, the new oc of the rams.

Not a head coach sacking, but this seems like the right place


Arians steps down and Todd Bowles takes over.

May well have been a sacking by another name. Rumours that Brady didn't get along with Arians, now he comes back and Arians is out? Who knows.

Don’t be surprised if Matt Rhule (Panthers) is the next HC to get sacked.

Demeco Ryans (49ers DC) will be at the top of everyone’s list for next season!

colts aiming for the #1 pick again with the hiring of, haha, jeff saturday as their interim hc.

i haven't watched any espn shows for about 5 years. has he become any smarter since those days? because he came across as a buffoon back then.
