Peete is known to be a good running backs coach. Anything Peete was doing with the Rams backs was tempered by the fact the offensive line was horrible.

That's true. Plus the fact that he has had success before. Plus the fact that if a player under-performs, the head coach has to determine if the issue was coaching, among other things he has to determine--and in this case, they basically ruled against that possibility. (You can bet anything you have that they DID consider that possibility and apparently ruled against it).
In terms of Peete himself, he is long familiar with the WCO and has worked with guys before that McVay either hired or wanted to hire
Peete was with Gruden, Kromer, and Callahan in Oakland, back in that era. (McVay wanted to hire Callahan from Washington but was denied.) Peete was also with Kromer in Chicago.
So he has THAT background. A lot of McVay offensive coaches come from either the Gruden or the Shanahan coaching trees. The same coaching trees McVay himself comes from, of course.
I think that on paper anyway, it looks like having an RB coach who already knows your system AND has already worked with your OL coach? That appears to be a good thing.
