The timing could be perfect for an NFL team to hire someone off the Sean McVay coaching tree, ConorOrr writes
Here’s a wild observation about the NFL head coach hiring process that speaks to both how ineffective and maddeningly routine the entire system has become: For the past five years, teams have been trying to hire someone reminiscent of Sean McVay without realizing how the Rams got McVay in the first place and trying to reverse engineer that process.
Mostly, teams stay in their comfort zone, which consists of waiting until a club performs well and then plucking a coach from that team, hoping the coach replicates that success. In many circumstances, they have to wait a year after the team has peaked so that the coach has time to squeeze in an interview.
I was thinking about this recently in regard to Thomas Brown, the assistant head coach of the Rams. Los Angeles is 5–10 and 31st in yards gained this year. It is 30th in passing yards per attempt and 29th in rushing yards per attempt. Of course, teams may not see it this way. They could be throwing elbows for assistants from the 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, Bengals and so on , when they could be hiring someone just as qualified who, in a year where the Rams would have made the playoffs, would be just as sought after .
