"Hire a legit OC ..." Don't you consider Kevin O'Connell a legit OC? If not, why not? (I know he doesn't call plays, but I assume he could if McVay let him ...)
Good question, AlbaNY.
By ‘legit’ I mean an OC that puts together the majority of the O gameplans AND calls the plays AND auto reviews his tendencies during the game to make sure that he’s not getting in a more predictable rut, etc. IOW, a traditional OC. Just as Staley is a traditional DC.
Right now, I consider O’Connell an OC in name only. Just as his predecessors were.
I fear that McVay is trying to wear 2 hats at once and either hat is a big enough challenge for the best of them. I think that a significant amount of the blame for Goff’s regression in the last 2 years should be laid at McVay’s feet. And I further fear that McVay either can’t see it or refuses to acknowledge it.
