If you read what I was saying, it was with the scenario of Nate being promoted to OC. Right now, sure. But if he got promoted to OC, then another OC job….

Exactly
Rams cant block him from taking OC job elsewhere. Rams can offer him their OC job but he doesnt have to accept

That doesnt make sense
The Rams cant just promote him, they have to interview for the OC job. They can offer him the job but still cant block him from looking elsewhere

Maybe searching for the best candidate is more important than receiving compensation?
Two reasons:
Scheelhaase doesn't have to accept an OC promotion.
Secondly, even if he was the Rams' OC that didnt call plays, if another OC opportunity comes up with the additional responsibility of calling plays, the Rams couldn't block. That additional responsibility of calling plays is crucial and would negate it being deemed a lateral move.
Huh?
I’m saying they get in him asap and offer him the job immediate. Before the others can get to him.
Once he’s agreed to the promotion, that’s when we can block.
Obviously if he doesn’t want our OC job and wants to go with LaFleur (or elsewhere) he can.
Agreed. Searching for the best candidate is very important. Which is why i said I'd be looking for the Nate Scheelhaases of the world. The entire NFL community seems to think very highly of him, so when he was brought in by the Rams, he was the best candidate.
Well cool story. But I never said he did.
I said if he became OC (obviously he’d have to agree to it lol)

Again, if they offer him the job and he accepts it, he's not consideration elsewhere
But for right now, the Rams have to follow the Rooney rule for the OC position and he is free to interview wherever he wants
Im sure there have been plenty of conversations already about "what if" scenarios
If he knows McVay wont be giving him play calling and that LaFleur will in AZ, that would potentially make that opportunity more attractive
Yes, OS stated that already a few hours ago. There were several posts about it. Including from me. But I guess you skipped over those lol
Oh yeah I meant once/if they promote him. But that's probably a moot point.
I think there's been a lot of comp picks for coaching and GM hires recently. McDaniel, Saleh, lions GM. I think it'll just take time. Like you said, you gotta find the guys first. But I bet they're looking.

That Breer tweet was from Jan 21', following the 20' season. So that was the year we lost in the divisional round to GB.
