He got fired after playoff? OK I feel better.They got embarrassed by Houston.
Someone had to fall on the sword.
I don't think so. At least from what we've gathered in the last few hours he runs a more old school style of the west coast offense. I don't think we'll be seeing exactly the McVay evolution of it. Doesn't mean it will be bad but not what you're expecting.In Cinncy AVP worked under Zac Taylor who worked under McVay with the Rams.
In Cleveland AVP worked under Stefanski who worked with Gary Kubiak in Minnesota who worked with Mike Shannahan.
Basically, we got Shannahan and McVay.
He didn’t get to call the plays in Cleveland, maybe he wanted to be more creative?I don't think so. At least from what we've gathered in the last few hours he runs a more old school style of the west coast offense. I don't think we'll be seeing exactly the McVay evolution of it.

Brilliant takeaway, thank you for your contribution.wow he got fat
I was being facetious, you're right though it won't be the Rams offense. We still be a run first team I believe, so definitely not the Rams.I don't think so.

A last point I forgot to mention.Reasons I like the hire/process:
1. Absolutely no one was expecting this. While everyone was busy complaining about lack of action and how nobody wanted to take the job, Mayo was being patient and working it. Good job remaining focused Jerod.
2. Mayo targeted guys that have similar philosophies to his own, that can all get along, and is obviously not looking for 'yes' men. So far, he's living up to his words.
3. Mayo said he'd hire the best people for the job and would listen to others perspectives regardless of age/color. He's living up to his word.
4. I especially like the total lack of leaks regarding this hire. That's a great sign.
5. Van Pelt has a lot of connections and can fill out his staff from various teams. This should happen fast.
6. Absolutely love the change in direction from mod. E-P to mod. WC. This should make it easier for QB and receivers to get on same page. Offense is a total redo in personnel anyway, so now we know who to target in FAcy/draft.
7. Thrilled that no Josh McDaniels, which means Mac is 100% out.
8. Mayo is keeping the strength of the team, the defense, the same by promoting Covington. Smart!
9. ST hire is unknown but just ridding us of Achord/Judge is a win-win.
This process has the feel of a private corporation approach instead of 'good ol boys,' 'friends/family' ******** approach. I like it.
At this point all we can do is sit back & hopeI like it because as other posts and reports have suggested, he's actually the man behind the curtain that made it all work. It can't get much worse than what we've experienced the last two years.. so let it rip.
People were eager to shred Mayo once he hired Caley or McDaniels. Then he made a decent outside hire and they aren’t sure what to be mad about so it’s just aimless raging. Hope like hell this group can turn things around.A last point I forgot to mention.
10. Titles. Mayo mentioned ppl would have them. This complicates matters since they need to follow the Rooney rule, which creates delays but it didn't stop them. I like it. You know who's the one responsible and accountable instead of having to guess who's doing what. Mayo again comes through with what he said he would do.
I have been watching a ton of Stefanski/AVP browns running game and I thought this video might be helpful for understanding what we might see next year. I know it helped me allot, but maybe I am just a simpleton.
Our pseudo GM Wolf was with him in GB and Cle. They know each other and probably had previous conversations….speculation.
kevin stefanski scapegoating the o-staff to save his job...This does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling
LOL the Venecol version of a homer!I'm expecting 7. Let's put money on it.
