he seems like he has a bright future and the potential to be a good OC.

Any ideas who they are looking at now for Offensive Coordinator? I've tried to look at someone McVay has coached in the past with and have not come up with anyone.

Some feel it must be somebody on the Falcon staff, but I don't think so because unless one of those coaches are no longer under contract IMO they would go with Shanahan. If it is indeed somebody still coaching the only coach of the New England staff that has a background with similar to Wes Phillips (TE & QB's) is Tight End Coach Brian Daboll I wonder if he's on McVay's radar and would be even available.

It looks like it's going to be Zac Taylor. It was reported about four days ago that he was joining the Rams coaching staff, but they didn't say what position he would be coaching.

Los Angeles Rams: Former University of Cincinnati offensive coordinator Zac Taylor is joining the Rams staff, source tells FootballScoop. Taylor previously coached quarterbacks and then served as offensive coordinator for the Dolphins (from 2012-2015).

On the previous page in this thread, there's more info. posted about him.

Actually I thought that too, however, I did read Husker.Com that Taylor was going to be the Assistant WR Coach, which I believe is a good spot for him as he has had underwhelming results as OC in the NFL and in College at Cincinnati last season.

I believe they would give Olson the gig over Taylor, but I still believe there is someone else that McVay will add to the staff and it could come out of left field like Eric Yarber did.

I wonder if McVay's immediate assertion that he was going to be calling all the plays is working against the Rams at this point. Seemed that by being that confident, he would have had his guy wrapped up. Essentially upon making that announcement he has somewhat minimized the role of the OC, which is fine if he intends on mentoring the new OC. But with that in mind, any experienced OC type who would be available, might be dissuaded from interest because he wont have control?
Time will tell, and what do we know

Time will tell, and what do we know

Yes it will interesting if he hires someone to mentor or a more experience individual that is looking for the title and has some experience focusing on the running game.

Like I posted could be someone in college that has committed and we don't know it yet, but you're right, guess we just to wait and see.

Ejiro Evero (pronounced e-JEE-row EV-uh-row) begins his first season as the Packers’ defensive quality control coach after spending the previous five years on the San Francisco 49ers’ coaching staff. 

Evero was named to his current position on Feb. 17, 2016, by Head Coach Mike McCarthy. Evero’s current role marks his third stint in the defensive quality control position. He works closely with defensive coordinator Dom Capers and is responsible for breaking down opponent game film and analyzing their offensive tendencies, playbook development, compiling team and player reports, and coordinating the opponent scout teams the starting defense will face at practice.

After joining San Francisco as a quality control coach (2011), Evero spent two seasons as an offensive assistant (2012-13). During this span, Evero was part of an offensive rushing attack that ranked fourth in 2012 (155.7 ypg) and third in 2013 (137.6 ypg) in the NFL in rushing yards per game. In 2012, the offensive unit ranked fifth in touchdown/interception ratio (2.88) and fourth in passer rating (101.2). Evero capped off his time with San Francisco serving as defensive assistant (2014-15), where he spent time assisting the linebacker position. Evero helped direct a defensive unit that finished fifth in both total defense (321.4 ypg) and pass defense (220.7 ypg) and ranked first in interceptions (23) in 2014.

Prior to his time with San Francisco, he spent the 2010 season at the University of Redlands as the special teams coordinator and safeties coach.

Evero broke into the NFL in Tampa Bay, where he served as the defensive quality control coach for three seasons (2007-09). In his first year with the Buccaneers, Evero was part of a staff that helped the defense rank second in the NFL in total defense (278.4 ypg) and first in pass defense (170.5 ypg). In 2008, he helped the defense finish in the top 10 in total defense for a second consecutive season, ranking ninth in the NFL (306.1 ypg).

Evero’s first job in the collegiate ranks came as an assistant coach (2005-06) at the University of California-Davis, where he helped lead the Aggies to the Great West Conference championship in 2005. Evero interned for the football program in 2004, while also serving as an assistant coach for the Davis High School junior varsity squad.

As a player, Evero lettered all four years as a safety at UC-Davis. A two-time captain for the Aggies, he was twice named a Division II All-American (2002-03). Evero signed with the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent following his college career in 2004.

Born Jan. 6, 1981, in Colchester, England, and raised in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., Evero earned his MBA from National University in 2006. He was a three-sport standout at Alta Loma High School in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. In addition to playing basketball his freshman year, Evero lined up at running back and linebacker while also running track all four years. He is single and resides in Suamico, Wis.

Perplexed by Ejiro Evaro being DB Coach, the Rams have hired Aubrey Pleasant & Samson Brown so unless Pleasant is going to have a more significant role (Assistant Defensive Coordinator/Secondary) I am unsure how this will play out. I do believe the Rams will have two DB Coaches (Safeties & Corners) but this will give them 3....Looking forward to doing a complete breakdown once McVay announces the complete staff which is scheduled for next week.

Ironically the Rams did have three defensive assistants overseeing the secondary under Fisher, Chuck Cecil was Senior Defensive Assistant, Dennard Wilson was Secondary Coach (Cornerbacks) & Brandon Fisher was Secondary Coach (Safeties) so it might be similar to this type of paradigm.

Matt LaFleur, Rams have mutual interest, sources say

Not only is Atlanta poised to lose offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to the San Francisco 49ers, but the Falcons also could be losing his logical replacement, quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur, according to league sources.

The Los Angeles Rams will request permission to speak with LaFleur after Super Bowl LI, as new head coach Sean McVay tries to reunite with the coach he once worked with on the Washington Redskins, according to sources.

LaFleur is interested in going from Atlanta to Los Angeles to reunite with McVay, who views LaFleur as a man capable of helping him implement his offense and teaching former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff how to shine in the NFL game.

Atlanta could try to keep LaFleur, but it has expressed interest in a more experienced playcaller, someone such as former 49ers head coach Chip Kelly.

Report: Rams want to interview Falcons’ QB coach for offensive coordinator job

The Rams will seek permission to interview Falcons quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur for their offensive coordinator position, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday.

With Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan expected to be named head coach of the 49ers in the coming days, LaFleur could end up choosing between a promotion with the Falcons and going to the Rams, where he would work under new head coach Sean McVay.

McVay, Shanahan and LaFleur worked together with the Redskins. LaFleur is in his second season with the Falcons after spending 2014 as quarterbacks coach at Notre Dame. His first NFL job was in 2008 with the Texans.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted that if LaFleur ends up with the Rams, former Eagles and 49ers head coach Chip Kelly “has a real chance” at becoming the offensive coordinator in Atlanta. Schefter’s report said Atlanta “has expressed interest” in Kelly.
