I don’t see the emphasis on ‘drama’ here.
I see a HC making coaching moves that he feels will improve his team. No more, no less.
No one is disputing that. That's not an issue. And I don't know what you're using the word drama to refer to, but it isn't what I was talking about.
I was referring to this tendency to try to place some kind of blame on Waldron. I can see why people do it. But IMO if you look at the whole picture, it doesn't add up. And I don't say that because I care either way about Waldron. As I said I know as little about his role as others do (in fact, no one knows--it doesn't get written about so we're just left in the dark). So I am just mucking around examining the different possible scenarios, just like you. I just can't reach the conclusions you're reaching, is all. I don't think hiring O'Connell reflects on Waldron anymore than I think hiring Staley reflects on Pleasant.
And it's a minor issue.
I see the hiring of O’Connell as a clear sign that McVay saw a need for improved Offensive coordinator results. Improved over the Waldron/Kromer combo, anyway. You’re having trouble connecting those dots, zn? That surprises me, tbh. Seems beyond obvious to me. I mean, if McVay was satisfied with the previous arrangement, then why make a change? Unless you think that Waldron/Kromer will continue in their former ‘coordinator’ duties even though O’Connell has been hired?
