Yep. I agree that it was imperative for Snead to hit if off with McVay. I highly doubt that if McVay was not totally comfortable with Snead that Kroenke and Demoff would have kept Snead and told McVay he had to deal with him.

Because we don't want an owner and team president (which is what basically Demoff is) being that stupid.

You don't hire a very young first-time head coach who then decides who the GM is. He would have no possible basis for deciding that.

McVay would be a good professional and work with the GM on hand, and not be an idiot who decided before draft season and free agency that for whatever uninformed reason he might have, he was going to make the team start completely over in the personnel dept.

So Demoff and Kroenke were smart enough to not do that to McVay, and McVay would be professional enough to realize he had no real basis for making a decision like that.

They had confidence in personnel and publicly said so. "This is not a rebuild." That says everything right there (and Demoff made a point of saying it in public.) Why screw around with that when it's enough change already to hire a new head coach, especially a very young first time head coach?

And they were right and it worked.
