I want to know who the heck identified Staley.... No track record and yet #1 D in the league in year one?
He inherited a lot but I feel like the pieces just fit so well together.
Fuller a 6th rounder does a pretty decent job all year. Supposedly Holmes found him.
Does Snead have a draft board of position coaches ranked so he knows who to call first when someone gets poached?
Staley was an amazing hire no doubt. He did have a record though and in fact was a play caller in college, which is really nice to see, then the heavy involvement in the defense McVay wanted to learn.
IMO McVay's intent was to learn that defense to improve his offensive gameplanning ability, and also to bring that scheme over. The fact that Staley was that good was a windfall.
