Almost everyone we interview will have high praise from someone. Hue just got high praise from Marvin.
Eric strikes me as a guy that was in a good situation and not as the architect of that situation. Reid is an offensive genius and Mahomes got away with a lot of plays that coaches don't like (unless your the defensive ones that have to play against him, next year will be the true test.)
Eric had a top tier RB for most of the season, top tier TE, decent WRs and an extremely fast gadget guy that Reid just finds way to get the ball to. Not a bad OLine providing good protection and that is a recipe for any OC to look like a great candidate.
The same thing actually applies to Taylor as well so that makes me hesitant to be happy or excited about him.
However out of the 2, I feel Taylor has done more with less. McVay turned out to be a great coach, but a lot of his success was due to the people he had around him including Taylor. McVay spoke very highly of Taylor and even mentioned that Taylor has a way of communicating that is both receptive and firm.
The gift of the silver tongue is the mark of a great leader.
Compare that with Eric and I get the feeling that Reid wouldn't be as hurt losing Eric as McVay would Taylor. Basically Eric didn't actually build the success that the Chiefs found this year or even really improve it, but Taylor did assist McVay in turning the Rams into the team they are today.
