As the NFC West turns
It was an interesting day in the NFC West yesterday. The Rams got Josh McDaniels as an offensive coordinator, and the Seahawks gave Tom Cable their offensive line coaching job, among other moves. Jim Harbaugh continues to put together his staff in San Francisco (former Cardinals QB coach Geep Chryst landed with the Niners today). The Cards, however, remain in a holding pattern (in terms of hiring; all the coaches are here working). At this point, I still have not heard anything further on the Cards’ DC opening. As I mentioned the other day, the Steelers’ playoff run likely impacts this situation. And unlike head coaching situations, you can afford to wait for your man — assuming you can get your man, and there has been quite a bit of debate about that when it comes to Steelers’ assistants. (Again, I don’t know that is exactly what is happening here; right now, I’m speculating like the rest of you).
