Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
The insecurity that that conversation left me with was a very real thing. You know, thinning hair, beard. I'm getting PRP shots now. Thanks to you guys. But that that is a small part. Big cat. I can't lie.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
It's, you know, the workout part is a really small portion for me, at least. I think it's led to some mis-evaluations. The tape is the biggest guide. What I do think the combine is beneficial for is the medical checks. You know, you get a lot of stuff in terms of the medical checks. And then the other thing is what we used to do when we would go is you spend those 15 minute increments.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
where you're able to just get a feel for their football acumen. When you put their tape on, how are you coach? You know, you don't want to necessarily punish them for not being exposed to maybe some of the things other guys are, but the meetings can be beneficial. But I do think that that's still that 15 minute window is too short of a time to really get a feel for a human being.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
So the vetting over the course of their careers is, The tape and the medical are the things that are the most important guiding principles for us.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I think the best thing, and a lot of this because of some of the shortcomings I've had is, hey, what's the biggest adversity you've faced and how did you bounce back from it? And you don't want to punish guys for not having gone through it.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But I'm such a big believer just based on the course of things that have occurred professionally for me or even personally that even though the most challenging moments, they felt like the worst thing when you're in them, you look back on them and you're saying, I don't know where I would be without what those lessons and those tough times taught me.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And if people have shown a consistent ability to be able to respond and use adversity to kind of catapult themselves forward and it doesn't break them, that means a whole hell of a lot to me.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yeah, I think so. Right. I mean, there is a part of it that you can feel. I mean, there's a couple of these guys. They feel like you're going to break your hand. So it definitely leaves an impression. I mean, if you give me that limp, you know, handshake, I'm not a big fan of that. I mean, what do you guys think?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I was like, hey, listen, honestly, I would probably transition to a half dap kind of bro. I do try to tap a little bit more, but that way that it's still not impersonal. But I mean, I've been in those situations where you get some of those handshakes and it sends a shockwave through your whole fucking body.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
What's the last time when you thought that yourself and then you felt the other guy thinking that same exact thing? Oh, yeah.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
That was consistent throughout. You know, the Yellowstone, I'm kind of upset I wasn't there, you know, for the ski trip. That was a pretty, you know, that's a who's who over there. Yeah. I would say this, that was always the end goal in mind, trying to figure out, hey, how do we get this guy back?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
What I do think is good, and honestly, and I've kind of talked about it, the biggest thing to me was that was always what we wanted. Matthew knew that. I'm so glad that it ended up where it did. But the most important thing is, is when you're making these commitments, and he's such a central part of where we want to go, and he's got such a positive influence on his teammates and
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Um, him feeling good about it and Kelly feeling good about it and really collectively us all understanding, Hey, here's where we were at. Let's have some, you know, good conversations. And there's never been anybody that I really loved and cared about that you couldn't have like real conversations with. And I think we understood that, um,
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
we might not always see eye to eye on some different things, but I think we were closer as a result of going through it, even though there was some stuff where you're out there and it became so public where you're at the gym and shoot, it's the music's going, but you have one of these stations on and that's all they're talking about. And you're thinking they're showing these highlights and stuff.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And I'm thinking I would be a real dumb ass if we let this guy go. So, um, But it was good. It was a couple hours, but it was more of a formality and making sure that everybody felt good about the direction we're going. And I will say it was a great meeting and I felt that it was some uncomfortable weeks, but where it's at, I think we're better as a result of it. I know I at least feel that way.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And from my understanding, I think Matthew and his family does as well.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
You know, vacation, bump into someone. There were some nervous vibes. I thought, oh, this feels familiar. But the difference was we didn't give him permission to actually be traded. We gave him permission for his agent to talk to some other teams. Yeah. That was different than the parameters around Detroit. Right. And so... I'm damn glad that we're talking about him being a Ram.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Otherwise it would be, it would be a real different feeling that I would have right now. I don't think I'd have the courage to come on and talk to you guys. It might be. it would be bad.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I would say probably not. This is a little bit different. This guy has been such a powerful influence, impact player, but also person. And his rookie year coincides with my first year as a head coach.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I would say this, in the eight years going into year nine, there hasn't been a more challenging circumstance that you have to navigate relative to knowing that the most likely outcome is we're parting ways with him. He's a legacy Ram. He's done so many incredible things. I mean, you look at how instrumental he's been in all things that are right about the Rams. He's at the center of that.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And that hasn't been fun, but he's been a real one throughout it. And sometimes these tough conversations are real things, but forever grateful for what he's done over these eight years. And he's got good football left in him for sure.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yeah. And I'll say this, though, like in all seriousness, the thing that I when I look back on. All right. Let's make sure you learn from your mistakes. Like early on, you're 30 years old as a head coach. You're you're naturally thrust into a role where you have to make hard decisions that you can't accommodate everybody.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But I was so worried in a lot of those instances of still trying to be liked and respected. I think you get better at being able to, with an empathy, but an honesty and a direct, you know, communication in regards to, Hey, this sucks with careful consideration. I've been wrong before.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I could be wrong again, but this is what we think is best for the collective, even though it might not suit an individual, but yeah, you're in your feelings. I love this guy. And I mean, what's crazy is, is this guy's changed my life for the better. I mean, I'm a better coach. I've gotten opportunities. There's been financial things that have come my way.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And he's been an instrumental part of all those blessings that this game has brought. And he's been, you know, one of the main guys that's been a positive influence. So there's a lot of emotions that goes into that.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
but I do think that the friendship, the relationship we formed over time, while it might be where I'd be pissed off if I was him too, hopefully as time goes, there's at least an appreciation that, Hey, not easy, but kind of, we've had good communication and there'll be a lot of, uh,
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yeah. And, you know, I don't know if it's as much that big cat as much as it's just, you know, growing up as a man. You know, you're 30 years old when you get hired and you're really figuring out, OK, through good things and then through failures. Like, what are you really about? How are you foundationally built?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Like, what's the shit that really matters in terms of how you positively impact people, but how you handle hard times, how you handle hard conversations with an empathy and an appreciation mindset? how you enjoy it. You know, I think sometimes not taking yourself so seriously too. I think it was part of, you know, just coming into that dynamic.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But I think a lot of the failures or mistakes I've made through eight years where people give you grace, but you're saying, all right, if you really mean like you want to take accountability, it's okay. People make mistakes, but, but learn from it. Like really apply those learning lessons with, with,
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
You know, all the things, whether it's football related, most importantly, relational, you know, how you are as a father, as a husband, all those things. And I do think I'll say this, too. And, you know, this like having a kid has made. Oh, yeah. It has just brought such a purpose and a perspective into my life that I just didn't have before.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I realized how freaking selfish I was, you know, before this ended up happening. It's been the biggest blessing ever.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
It's so true though. And it's funny when you say that too, like you think about probably the enjoyment you guys have working with each other and the rest of your group and what it's become when it's about, I don't want to let people down. Like it's the same thing in coaching.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I can think about like when it's been the most pure, like when we were in the midst of going and trying to win a Superbowl in 21, where we get into the playoffs and I genuinely felt in the midst of that, I wanted it more for Whitworth, Aaron Donald, Stafford, Cup, Jalen Ramsey, Odell, our coaches, Von Miller. And that is where you're much more fulfilled.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
It almost takes the pressure off where it's like, it's not about your selfish ambitions. I want to do it because I don't want to let that other guy down. And it's wild how it's almost like a weight is alleviated. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Whereas when you feel like, man, this shit's more about you than you'd ever like to know anybody to like you, you don't say it out loud and you know how to say the right things, but you know what you're feeling. That's the best thing I can put about like my son and my wife.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And when you apply those things in all parts of your life, man, there's where real fulfillment, it's not perfect, but it's a much better way to live to me.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yeah. Yes. I tell that to Stan Kroenke all the time. I said, what the hell were you thinking hiring me as a 30 year old? And you know what you realize is like, well, you might be ready to do some of the things from a leadership perspective, just coaching wise. There still is an emotional toll that that takes on you because of the internal pressure you put on yourself.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And if you really were to say though, like what's the best thing in these eight years that's happened to me, it was going five and 12 in 2022. Like it really was because of what that force, like I had to get my ass broken down and really exposed on a public level where you're really saying like, all right, some of these insecurities you have now you can't hide from them.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
And you're either going to handle it the way that you would want to advise your son, or you're going to run away from it and you can conveniently hide behind other opportunities and And so there is no doubt that I say that to Mr. Kroenke all the time, but I'm sure damn glad that he made the decision to do that. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
he was at my house for a week after we had played Minnesota earlier on in the season, it was a Thursday night game. So we had a birthday for my son, Jordan. It was his first birthday. And we were officially those parents that, you know, the one-year-old, like he really knows it was really us throwing a party for ourselves, acting like, you know, it's for our one-year-old.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But I think I caught a couple of vodka sodas too many. And I definitely was trying to convince him of that. And he's like, man,
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
hey bro we've already been down this road man you know that's not happening we got some momentum going right now what do you think yeah yeah just hop in if i were you i would do that at least once a week yeah just be like just emphasize your last minute he still could he could still go i mean it is what a stud that guy was yeah you need to reverse it you just be like people are saying you're getting fat is that true like i heard people saying that like you don't have it anymore you're not tough
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I think he would know that's just so not true that he wouldn't even respond.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I do not, but I did not hear that quote. Knowing my man K-Dot, he's a stud. I'll take that all day, and that is my guy. Did you see what he did against the Niners on the screen where he took two out? No. No. It went viral, man. We threw like a little inside perimeter or an inside tunnel screen to Nakua, and he ended up pancaking two guys on the play. You should check that out.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
K-Dot was doing his thing. It was against the Niners on Thursday night when we had the shootout win.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
The answer is it was challenging, but hey, you saying punt, did you see Northern Colorado with the fake pass?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
punt yes yes i told you it'd work i told you i showed that in the team meeting the fucking guys loved it i said i'll be damn that was on fourth down not third down i think hey we split my guy carter crutchfield he spliced that in with us talking about it and then i thought i mean the guys loved it i was so pumped when i saw it i was like it worked it worked a fake punt punt i'm telling you
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I swear, hey, you guys got a shout-out in the team meeting. That's awesome. We got to find the Northern Colorado coach and say, what was the genesis of this? Did he see this and he brought it up?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
You know what that reminded me of? That's like if you saw our Philly game, we ran a fake flea flicker screen to the tight end. It's kind of our version offensively of the fake punt punt. I think it's a flea flicker. No, now it's a screen.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
We've called that play twice, and it's gone for 20 on both of them. One was in an NFC championship in 21, and then the other one was against Philly in the divisional round. But obviously, you know how that one ended.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Well, here's what I would say. The answer is in some form or fashion, I think human nature. Yeah. You watch that and you say, how cool would that have been? Like the thing, here's what I'll tell you. The answer is in some form. Yes. But then you also acknowledge every year is a new year, every week's a new week, shit like that.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Philly was a real team, but we did play them well that day and they made enough plays to be able to win. We had our chances. I was proud as hell of our football team. But the thing that I was like that I thought would have been so special is if you got a chance to host the NFC championship in the midst of everything that our community had done.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
What I thought was really cool, I wasn't even worried about necessarily winning and losing, but let's represent for the city how we want to play, the competitive toughness, the way that you stay connected and stay together as a team. And those guys did. It was as fun of a team as I've been a part of where there was real improvement throughout the year.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But that was where you say, man, we were so close to being able to host an NFC championship. For the city, in spite of everything that's going on, obviously Washington was a damn good team. You never know how it's going to play out.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But when you watch that, I think naturally you think that, but you also aren't naive to say like, man, every week's a new week and you just never know how those matchups are going to unfold in a league that is so matchup oriented week to week.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Well, you know what? We don't actually ever really cross over. They have their own locker room. We have our own locker room. But Harbaugh is a stud. He did a great job. You can see his identity all over that team. That would have been a champagne problem if we were hosting an AFC and NFC championship at SoFi that I think Stan would, Mr. Kroenke would gladly navigate. He'd be very happy with that.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I want to know what that biter said. I want to know. All right, so he comes on. He's got his acronym. Liam, get your own shit, man. I love Liam, but what did he say fast? Fundamentals, attacking, situational, and then toughness?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yes, it is. Okay, well, hold on. I don't think you know what an acronym is. Yeah, you don't understand an acronym.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Say that again.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
You know what? Hey, you know what? How about just great? How about fundamentals? Let's go there.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
situational master yeah don't again two words one word well hey you know what i appreciate you picking it apart i'm gonna go back to work after we get out this fall make sure it's these one word yeah but we do have to figure out a way to have an s or something you know yeah maybe maybe speed you could do speed it could be football attacking speed toughness that's fast
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yeah, but we got to handle the situations. You can't just ignore that. Maybe it's just understood that masters is understood as situationals.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I think it's like perfection, right? You know, if you come up short, you're still in that excellence category. That's the way I look at it. What do you think?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I'm not afraid to admit it. You know, if Liam gave the appropriate – listen, my team – hey, let me just tell you this. Coaches, all the good coaches, they're great thieves. There's nothing that I've said that is original. But if Liam gave the proper reference to, all right, you know, this is maybe what stimulated it, I'm good. I don't think he did.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But if you act like it's your own, now you're just lying. Yeah, I don't think he did. And look, you have an acronym above you.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
That's it. That's a better acronym. That's a better acronym.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
i can be coachable the two-word thing it resonates i'm not i got no argument with you guys hey i know this the next time you have me on the backdrop is gonna have acronyms with one word associated to each letter i promise you that i love that how do you go about deciding like what the theme for the team is going to be next year is there like a retreat that you go on with your coaches and you're like let's think of some new weird shit that we can just put all over the walls
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Perhaps, you know, but I would say this. We try to keep consistent messaging. You know, it's all similar types of stuff, but a lot of it is reflective of what have we experienced? And then so much of it is a reflection of what authentically resonates. Like when I talk to our group, I'm talking to myself first. Like I think that connection.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But it's like if you're asking people to do something or if you want to hold up a certain standard and you're not doing it, then you're a fraud. Yeah. So I think the players feel when you're authentically talking about things that resonate and allow you to be at your best, because all we're really trying to do is say, man, let's maximize ourselves. The people around the situations we're a part of.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Let's let's be real people. But let's act, interact and respond the way that we want. The air. All right. It's a it's a culture. Act, interact, respond. That's a good acronym.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Respond.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
So shout out to Shaka for that. That's good.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
No, no, because I think, first of all, because I'm a big believer that you're only calling if we've worked with each other. And so if the guys that the guys that have been here, I can authentically vouch for because we've worked together. We've seen what it looks like when shit's hard. And then that would be an admittance of failure on my part if we onboarded somebody that wasn't about that stuff.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
So all those guys that have gotten calls on the best part is, is that you can talk from a genuine place. And it's been awesome to see guys go do their thing. Like, I thought what Liam did in Tampa was an incredible job as an OC. And, you know, I'm happy for both Liam and James Gladstone. You know, that's a big loss for us, too, because he was like Les' right-hand man. He'll do a good job, man.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
He's super smart. You guys should get him on the pod sometime.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yeah, we were like, who's this guy?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
But you know what? He's wise beyond his years. It's like I was when I was first hired. I've told you guys the story of when I was doing my second interview where basically, unless you shit yourself, you're getting the job. We go over to Spago's. Have I told you guys this story?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
So so basically I get a second interview and it's like you're coming in and it's a formality of Mr. Kroenke meets you. You feel good about this meeting and then, you know, off to the races. Here we go. Rams head coach. But this dinner is at Spago, which is right across the street from the montage where they put me up. So it's Mr. Kroenke.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
It's Kevin Demoff, our team president, who now oversees KSC, which is all Kroenke Sports Entertainment. And it's Marshall Falk. Because they wanted to invite a guy that had had a bunch of wisdom that would say, like, can you really actually hire a 30-year-old head coach? So it's us four at the table. And Wolfgang Puck comes up to the table. He's a fan of the Rams. He's a fan of Mr. Kroenke.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
He says, hey, when are we going to hire the new coach? You know, where's the new coach? Because surely he's thinking, this intern sitting at the table, no way this guy is the leading candidate. And I mean, everybody at that table felt very uncomfortable about how do we really, how do I navigate this question?
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
he tough physical you know what we didn't miss on him big cat what we did was we missed on projecting some people to play the center spot he had some unfortunate injuries where he never had a chance to really get the foundation this guy's a stud stud human stud physically mentally tough dude i'm a big fan of him um he'll do really well for him there's a reason why ben wanted him back you can see the investment in the interior lines trying to make it uh
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
Yeah. Detroit and Chicago.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
I mean, incredibly. But I will say this. The guy's done a damn good job. I couldn't believe, though. He took a good shot at my boy LeFleur. Yeah, he did. I'll be interested to see what that dynamic looks like at the league meetings, man. He did. Shots fired, man. Here we go.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
No, he's way smarter than me. I mean, the guy has done a damn good job. I'm impressed watching him from afar. This guy's way smarter than my dumb ass.
Pardon My Take
Rams HC Sean McVay, Jerry O’Connell With A Schefty Sneak Attack, Fyre Fest And More
