We were all awaiting on what the would do and I'm pleased with the results, as there was quite a bit of movement, but IMO, the likes of Brown, Henderson & Evero received well deserved promotions and @BonifayRam was right on point on Chris Shula and maybe Shula's promotion was for the fact that he recommended Brandon Staley to McVay for DC.
Thomas Brown....What's not to like? After one year, the revolving door at RB, they all shined & it's possible the Rams might draft another. Brown balances McVay well, now again with success comes poaching, but Thomas Brown is on the rise and it won't be long to he's a Head Coach in the NFL or running a major program at the collegiate level.
Wes Phillips....Love this promotion to pass game coordinator as the TE's have been much improved under his watch and I expect it to improve with 2nd year man Brycen Hopkins. Phillips has coached QB's in the past too, so if O'Connell moves on Phillips would be the next Offensive Coordinator.
Ejiro Evero....Many of us were concerned with the loss of Aubrey Pleasant, however, thankfully the Packers did not hire Evero too. Combining Evero with Jonathan Cooley, should ensure the secondary does not miss a step as I'm hoping Cooley can coach up David Long a bit.
Eric Henderson...Coach Henny has been a hit, since the hired him away from the Chargers and his promotion to Run Game Coordinator is well deserved. Huge upgrade over Bill Johnson and I believe that game McVay confidence in his ability to judge coaching talent as Johnson was a good ole boy and friend of Wade Phillips. Henderson another assistant trending upward and I'm glad he's on our sideline.
I agree with all of that. Good take.
Let's hope that Carberry is in the same mold as Henderson as a hire. Henderson was an immediate hit when they hired him.
