I don't know where Jay stood on Wade. To be honest, while rapping with people there, I never even asked. But the whole night is a bad look.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 2h2 hours ago

Clearly, Sean is a huge loss. Anyone who argues otherwise is either lying or has no glue of dynamics in building/on staff

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 2h2 hours ago

Look, I don't know if McVay will succeed in LA. That's a tough gig. But he's smart. And he understands people/players. Half battle.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 2h2 hours ago

Not saying @thecooleyzone would be as meticulous as McVay. But he really knows their offense. He's tight with Jay and, well, others.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 2h2 hours ago

Believe it or not, Jay isn't the most, well, detailed guy on some things, people in the building say. McVay is. I'll leave it at that.

From a couple of Redskins officials: This ain't a good night in Ashburn.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 3h3 hours ago

McVay knew he needs an old hand. Say what you want to about Wade, but he can coach him some defense.

Jason Reid Retweeted Adam Schefter

McVay already showing he gets it as a head coach. Forget hiring your buddy. Hire the right guy.

Jason Reid added,
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Wade Phillips has agreed to terms to become Rams defensive coordinator, per source

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 7h7 hours ago

It would be something is Wade joins Sean in LA. That was the hire Jay should have made.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 7h7 hours ago

Very interested to see Sean's hires.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 7h7 hours ago

Maybe all the turnover buys Jay another year regardless of the win-loss in '17.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

If both Garçon and D. Jax bounce as well, O could have some serious issues.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

Jordan Reed won't forget how to catch. But it matters that his biggest supporter on team, a guy he leaned on for years, has bounced.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

It amazes how many fans fail to understand that these guys aren't machines. They're human beings. Personal relationships matter

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

From a team official: After Sean was promoted to OC, Jordan Reed asked if he would still mind helping him. Obviously, Sean was all in on that.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

Would actually set up chairs in conference room at hotel and go through route tree, what defenses might do, how Jordan should counter, etc.


Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

When McVay was tight ends coach, lobbied hard for Reed. Used to go over plays with him at team hotel night before games.


Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

This could have a big impact on Jordan Reed. I'm not sure everyone understands how close they are and everything Sean did to help Jordan.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

The thing about McVay is that he's fiercely loyal to the people for whom he works. He learned that from his grandfather.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

For Gruden's sake, it's imperative he hires an OC who was as organized as McVay. To quote a Redskins official, "Trust me, Jay needs Sean."


Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

Jay Gruden will begin 2017 with 2 new coordinators, a lot of new faces on the roster and one playoff appearance in his first three seasons.

Jason Reid ‏@JReidESPN 8h8 hours ago

Sean McVay is extremely smart and capable. He's a hard worker and a good man. He gets it on every level. He also has a huge challenge ahead.
