Anyway I want Him to get the job. Offense will be very similar, and between him and Gruden they will fix the RZ issues. Christ all you have to do is dumb them down a little and you're headed in the right direction. McVay always got cute and out thunk himself down there. With our weapons and the continuity and experience Cavanaugh brings to the table McVay is a total afterthought.
Now Romeo has to realize that his defensive prowess is a waste in Houston because they are terrible on the other side of the ball. We got money and draft picks to sprinkle all over our defense, and that guy would make us instant contenders. (I know it is a pipe dream).

I thought the same exact thing. I'm sure I didn't dream up the idea that Matt Cavanaugh was being promoted to OC. If he's not promoted, I'm kind of nervous about him getting promoted elsewhere. I think he should be given as much, if not more, credit for developing Kirk Cousins. But maybe it's the same as Bill Callahan. Maybe Cavanaugh is more than happy with his job as a quarterback coach and doesn't want to be promoted? If that's the case, then I definitely understand continuing to search for McVay's replacement.

And speaking of Romeo C, McVay pretty much gave Phillips the job right away, and we could essentially do the same for Crennel. Not only would it satisfy the Rooney rule, but how great would it look on the Redskins to quickly hire a minority candidate? And a successful one at that? But yes, probably a pipe dream because he's probably not moving on from Houston.
