Three separate thoughts:
1. I think Quinn showing willingness to change is very positive.
2. I think when Kliff didn't get a HC gig, or even and OC gig, going to work with Sean in LA was probably the best thing he could have done. He can learn from Sean. He won't run the offense, but it's the first time he's really been in a Shanahan style offense with somebody. And Sean is like a car wash, you go work for him, and he cleans you up, and you get more opportunitites.
3. I think the job Kliff did in 2024 was one of the best OC jobs you could have asked for. He took a rookie QB and a collection of older vets with one true weapon, and conceived a top 5 offense. And the 2025 offense, without a million things, wasn't bad either. I know I'm in the minority, but I don't believe the system had anything to do with Daniels getting hurt. I posted this elsewhere recently, but in 2024, he had 150 rush attempts. 75 scrambles, 75 called runs. Over 16 games, (he started, but missed essentially all of one game), that's about 4.5 scrambles and 4.5 called runs per game. Put another way, Kliff called, on average, one QB run per quarter per game. That's really not a lot. And if you draft a QB at #2 to be a dual threat QB, and you don't use their legs as a weapon, then that's a missed opportunity.
I wasn't in favor of replacing Kliff, but I'm also fine with it. He wasn't perfect by any stretch, but I think he was a good OC. I have pointed out the parts of his offense which I didn't like in other posts.
The question for him is going to be is he going to be able to learn from Sean? I wonder, every year Sean threatens to retire, and there's a rumor that when Stafford retires, he will retire. I kindof wonder if maybe there's a path to Kliff getting the Rams job if he stays there and learns and McVay retires, or takes a break from coaching. Maybe, maybe not. But it's an interesting thought.
