Some coaches are great DC/OC but not good as HC's.....It's a whole new world to be in charge of the entire franchise....Watching game film in a little room and game planning all day is what some coaches are great at. Press conferences, shaking hands and kissing babies other coaches are good at.
Totally agree with you buddy.....If Rams hire Staley as DC, there's one thing that is certain, he won't be leaving to a HC job any time soon. That ship has sailed for a while and McVay will not be looking for another DC for a while that's for sure.
It will allow McVay to go back to his DC Wade Phillips, DC Morris days.....Let Staley coach the defense and McVay can let him do his thing and concentrate on that one thing only!
Let's not forget....McVay went and got Staley, found him and our D was solid.
My other choice would be Jim Leonhard......But, I can get onboard with Staley for sure.
