I have no question that McVay was sorely disappointed most of all . . . . in himself.
I think his bringing in Brandon Staley to coach the D was not just about the D but to get someone to help Coach McVay deal with the defense which was proving to be Kryptonite at times for him. He saw a true weakness in HIS game and he adjusted to make it a potential strength. I think the reordering of the staff was McVay's way to bring in the new ideas having taken what the others already had to offer.
as the saying goes . . . grow or DIE.
Well I agree with a lot of that. Especially the being disappointed in himself thing. Which is why I don't think McV is scapegoating Waldron as much as some fans are.
In terms of learning about the D? Not so sure about that. I think a young guy can learn from an older guy. And less so from a younger guy who himself is learning on the job. So I am not so sure that's a factor. Plus of course if the young defensive coach grows and does what he is supposed to, he is more likely to be gone soon ie. hired away as a head coach.
I think the main thing with Staley is just switching defensive schemes to one McVay feels more direct affinity with.
