On offense...
Cooley had huge praise for McVay and his age (27) is a little scary but Coach Gruden says he's handling the playcalling, so the leap from position coach to coordinator won't be too huge of a leap hopefully. |
I think Gruden is handling this the right way. Obviously McVay is well respected, so promoting him but not placing the playcalling responsibility on him right away is the right way to do it. That way, Gruden is not having to "do it all" in terms of being an OC as well as the head coach. I also like that since the 'skins are keeping Haslett on as DC (even though I'm not thrilled about it) surround him with the coaches he wants. Hopefully they'll also get the players he wants/needs in the offseason, then we can truly see if Haslett fails as a DC, then we know it's all on him.
