Wink calls Rams HC Sean McVay a "once in a generation type talent"

Unintentional backhanded swat at Daboll?

How could that be a swat at Daboll?

Just talking about how the opposing head coach is a "once in a generation" talent, which is pretty much saying he's much better than his team's head coach.

Normally I wouldn't even notice something like that but these two did appear to potentially have some issues this year.

I don't see it as a negative towards Daboll, even indirectly or inadvertently, even if Leonard tries to steer it in that direction.

Opponents often compliment each other before a matchup. Leonard is just trying to start 💩.

Maybe Wink is trying to give Daboll a "spark"

Though a wakeup call would be more appropriate.

Lobbying for his next gig.

McVay is a brilliant playcaller.  Plus there is this

While O'Connell seems to be doing a good job so far, there are some lemons in that list of disciples. Staley and Hackett come to mind. I'm also not overly sold on Zac Taylor.

That's nothing against McVay btw... I think he is quite possibly the best coach in the league right now. More that it just reminds me a little of Belichick in that just auto-hiring his assistants/coordinators has not proven to be a good strategy at all.

Isn't Mike McDaniel on that coaching tree as well?

I think Mike McDaniel is more talented.

I think Mike McDaniel is more talented.

Possibly, although McVay has the hardware. Not just the Super Bowl win but another SB appearance. He's 7-3 in the postseason already and he's only 37. McDaniel has made the postseason once in two tries, and he lost the one game convincingly.

The above doesn't mean McDaniel isn't more talented as a coach - as I said above, it's possible. But McVay has established that he can coach a team to big wins. He has been to the SB with two different QBs already. And that franchise STUNK before he got there. It's not like he was handed some good situation the way Mike Tomlin was in Pittsburgh.

I feel McDaniel needs to show us something in postseason play before I'm willing to consider him being better than McVay. He's doing a very good job so far, but I need to see him take his team somewhere legit in postseason play before I start calling him the most talented coach in the league or anything like that.
