Rams looks like a mediocre team, sorry, this team's offensive line is questionable at best and losing their top corner hurts. They'll be inconsistent and surprise sometimes and disappoint other times, like usual.

I woulnd't be suprised with a Pete Carroll hire after Fisher transitions the the team to L.A...The Seahawks extended him through 2016. Obviously, the Rams would have to give him the keys to the kingdom and and a blockbuster contract. It might be enough to get him to jump ship to Rams team that should be absolutely loaded with talent.

Man, I aint giving NOTHING up. FuK next year, the time is now. We have maybe the best defense the team might ever have (or ever had). We have a legit starting QB, and will have a premiere RB that will probably start Game 4. EVEN if we have another losing season, I will watch the defense. I'll watch Aaron Donald dominate as he makes penetration as few 4-3, 3-Techs have ever done. I'll watch Robert Quinn bend impossibly around a LT to sack the QB(s). I want to see the team in LA, but I'm not wasting the year pining for that... Eff that. REAL FOOTBALL IS ABOUT TO START...I don'tr understand not being excited for that, JMO.

Fisher will probably be out. The team will want a clean break once they make the move. I can see them going after someone that will generate interest around the league and someone that can bring some excitement. Either a top college coach like Nick Saban or one other retired coaches possibly Jon Gruden, Steve Mariucci or Herm Edwards.

Quite frankly, I can't understand my own apathy either. It's weird, especially afer 40+ years of living and dying for this team. I don't know, I guess I'm just not a fan of how Jeff Fisher runs a team. However, I am a big fan of Les Snead, and think he has tools to grow into a GM that can help create and oversee a dynasty.

Great to see you here Hacksaw. I hope you come in often.

The Carroll hire would make sense. that guys fire in infectious. He did a good job at SC until they broke the rules on his watch, and before he conveniently went to the pro thus avoiding the sanctions placed on the team as a result of those rule breakers. Reggie Kardashian Bush lost his Heisman over it.
Still, it seems he is a winner. I will reserve judgement until after this season due to his stacked roster thinning out.

It's hard to know what Kroenke will do.

As far as i can tell, he likes to hire someone he believes is good and then let them run the show, definitely not a micro-manager. The Nuggets and Avalanche have been more prone to coaching and FO turnover but maybe that's Josh?

I'm a little worried that SK tends to opt for safe and respectable over innovation and excellence, that he's more concerned with being solid than great.

But until relocation is settled we won't know much. It's gonna be status quo all the way. And if the Rams do some winning this year, look for Fisher and Snead to get extended.

Guys like Mariucci and Edwards are like Fisher to me, only worse, respectable losers for the most part...

[The Ripper]

Fisher has a good story for LA but he's boring. It's not Kroenke's style but LA is different and a marketing push surrounding a "tv personality" with some excitement might be what's needed. It's more about the hype and bringing in someone the average fan has seen.

[TSFH Fan]

Please not Carroll -- haven't we had enough coaches from THAT school, also defensive minded coaches at that? I'll give Fish a pass for the lawsuit from the Lame Kiffin/Pola thing. I mean Carroll was mega-favored in games against OSU, UCLA and Stanford and ended up losing. Then there's that pass play from the Super Bowl.

I'll take back everything bad I've said about Martz if it causes the Rams to not get Carroll.

Gotta disagree to any suggestion that Stan needs a splash hire in Los Angeles. Innovative Mike D'Antoni and Magic Johnson were hired as coaches to bring in excitement -- both tenures ended rather quickly. Lame Kiffin was brought back to U$C with his NFL experience and ties to the past, to excite the fanbase -- ended rather badly at the airport.

If Stan is going with a new coach in LA (and it seems that I'm probably the only one who's not for firing Fish) and if Stan is going to do it right in LA, he needs winning more than flash. Ben Howland basketball had to be some of the ugliest I ever watched, but he lasted so long because of those early successful years. Darryl Sutter hockey is never going to be called high octane and, during the season, he's not particularly charismatic. There was nothing exciting about Phil and the triangle offense -- sure there was the "name" but people weren't thrilled with the "name" during Kwame/Kobe time. I'm probably the only one, but with respect to all the other coaches mentioned on this page, I think I'll stick with Fish unless a better name turns up.

Winning cures everything. . . it will also cure the Apathetic. Getting to the wins is a different matter.

[Hacksaw]

Fish will coach in the Coliseum, CoChamps possibly not. That'll depend on the '15 & '16 season outcomes. IMO
