Texans

Rams HC Sean McVay spoke about Houston hiring his TE coach and Canton, Ohio native Nick Caley as their new offensive coordinator to replace Bobby Slowik.

“He’s a special coach,” McVay said of Caley, via Click2Houston.com. “He’s done a great job for us. I love everything this guy is about. I think it’s really cool when these guys are offered opportunities to be able to elevate themselves and you want to evaluate all options.”

“I think Nick is a great leader,” McVay added. “He comes from a great pedigree. You talk about a consistent approach to the core beliefs and the things that are in alignment with winning football games. His ability to communicate, his background and knowledge that he brought from his experiences in New England, but then also his willingness to be able to learn and have a good feel for the landscape of the league. I think he sees the game from a big-picture perspective. He coaches the tight ends, but I have an affinity for that because that was my first position job. I think if you do it the way that Nick does it, you can really put yourself in a position to appreciate the nuances of everything that position has asked in terms of playing in line, playing detached from the core, being a part of the run game, being part of protections, being part of the progression in the passing game. He’s done that and he sees the game from an All-22 lens.”
