My other biggest concern before McVay was hired was if he would have the ability/reputation/resources to pull in a competent staff that would be better than 2nd and 3rd tier level unknowns just happy to get a job/promotion.
And how would we, fans sitting on a message board, know the difference in every case?
Who was this obscure WR/qb coach Vermeil handed the offense over to in 99? Did you know at the time?
Does it count only if we know the names?
Or if we go by just our own criteria?
For example, McVay could want an OL coach to be his OC because he knows that frequently, the OL coach is also the running game coordinator for given teams. (Hanifan played that role for Martz for example). It's possible that he wants input and/or a different voice representing that side of things in designing game plans etc and also fine-tuning the Rams running game.
Now granted we don't know anything until we see how it works. That is we really won't know either way for a while. And skepticism is certainly legit (as one view among others in a healthy mix.)
But frankly we as fans usually don't know enough to judge some of these choices.
