He was able to move away from Wade with impunity, dont see how he'd have an issue with Shula
Could always re-assign him somewhere, give him a fugazy Asst HC title

Someone gonna get a steal with Tyson. To me, he's the best one in the draft. I hope we jump all over him if he gets to us

I think he's referring to all the puke that they have on those other sides haha
He's projecting what he wants to believe on what we all know having heard it many times.
If McVay is a fan of the Fangio defense AND instructs his DCs that's the way he wants to play it (keep everything in front and react) how come the Rams D's doesn't look anything like the Eagles Fangio D?
Players?
Philly #5 in pts (19.1) ; Rams #10 (20.4)
Philly #7 in YPP (4.9) ; #13 (5.2)

You see any CB's on the Rams like there are on the Eagles? Defensive philosophy only goes so far without the horses.
No.
And I don't see any LB's like Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean and Jihaad Campbell.
Draft Corners and LBs with 2 of the first 3 picks.
Biggest problem is this defense broke more than they bended this year. We NEED an experienced DC with a track record of success.
Biggest problem we have is we don't have a CB that's worth a damn.
I have us trading out of one of those first round picks to pick up a 1st next year, then it’s usually CB OT then CB with our first three picks but I could be persuaded by one of the Edges possibly a Center
McVay doesn't fuck around. If he loses faith in his friend he will end up taking some shit ass college job like Coen did. And McVay will talk him up like he was a massive loss but had to take that opportunity.
Coen ended up just fine. Shula would too. But I think Shula is about to get loaded up with offseason talent.
And yet the defense allowed 18.8 PPG. They allowed the 7th least TDs in the NFL, 34 (2 per game). Leader allowed 28.
Imagine how good we could be with a stud CB and 1 big, fast, snot popping stud ILB.
I think both Shula and Pleasant are good coaches. But I also think they're both learning. So wanted to get that established. Don't hate on either of them and I think what McVay sees in them is no doubt legitimate.
But one potential problem between the two of them, in combination, is they may be weak on corner expertise. And some may not like such a suggestion. But the facts as I see them are:
1. Shula only did one year with the secondary. And it was our '22 season which was hideous. Catastrophic. The very next year he was moved back to backers and edge.
2. Pleasant is safety background. He got scapegoated in Detroit, I think at least, but doesn't seem to have a great handle on corners either judging from the fact both he and Shula must have signed on to the idea of this year's corner group. Which I think is an indicator of things, as most of this board knew corner was completely reliant on a great rush.
3. Now maybe both these guys jumped on McVay's desk this past offseason about corner and were told to make do. We simply don't know what was discussed. And this matters too.
4. On top of all this the Rams have a "safeties" coach, but they don't have a "corners" coach.
So it seems to me that it's very possible there isn't enough coaching going on with these corners. Or maybe better way to put it is there is room to go get a corner specific coach to handle the basic shit with these guys, like for example getting their motherfucking heads around to look for the ball. Or how to be ready to swoop when you're playing off so you can get a four yard stop instead of giving up 8+ or a first down.
And if we're about to move hot and heavy on corners in FA and the draft, in some combination, then having a voice you trust telling the scouts exactly what we need sounds like a good fucking idea. So let's hire a corner coach.

How much less heat would Shula be taking if the ST's this year were just competent?
However after running my mouth, I have discovered.....
Fangio's Eagles D allowed 34 offensive TDs (28 PAT; 2 2pt Conv) and 29 FGs (323 pts allowed)
The Rams D allowed 34 offensive TDs (31 PAT; 3 2pt Conv) and 27 FGs (322 pts allowed)
They still don't look the same.
Don't we have a fast LB?

As of today, I think McVay would need to have some sort of defensive philosophical epiphany before the Rams defense can change, and be a bit more aggressive going forward.
Then again , it's probably more likely that he and Snead just find some better players to execute the current strategy..
McVay always reacts to losing. When something bites him in the ass he moves on it.
Defense bit him in the ass this year. So he's gonna move on it. Now that doesn't mean he's going to make his DC blitz more. But it does mean he's gonna fix his corner room.
