Hacksaw well said. We lost out on some great assistants. I was a huge Kevin O Connell guy.

If he takes a year away he ain’t coming back here. I can’t see Kronkie going through that again. Maybe this is a way we get some of our draft compensation back.

I always say this guy is mini John Gruden very similar one a super bowl flamed out offensive genius.


This is L.A. I can see Kronkie swinging for the fences.

From what I’m hearing Sean Payton wants to be on the west coast particularly Los Angeles.

I think he wants to coach Justin Herbert that’s a great situation. He might be waiting for the rams.

Interesting how that Broncos stuff cooled off. They don’t have the compensation to give to the saints.

Let me paint a picture scenario for you. Brandon Staley gets fired.

Chargers hire Sean Payton

Rams hire Brandon Staley.

I’m just saying.

There are some interesting candidates.

Demeco Ryan’s Raheem Morris Brandon Staley Sean Payton Kliff Kingsbury

Also I could see Demeco Ryan’s turning down the Texans interview.

A lot of coaches waiting to see how this Mcvay thing plays out.

The Rams job is the best job.

1. Los Angeles

2. Sofi

3. Great ownership

4. Super bowl winning team

5. Quarterback Matthew Stafford there.

6. Best player in the NFL there Aaron Donald. You always have a shot.

7. Defense centered around Aaron Donald Jalen Ramsey and Bobby Wagner.

8. Coachable superstar Cooper Kupp.

I've also heard Kliff Kingsbury added to the equation. Hire him as the offensive coordinator to take some pressure from McVay.

Let’s be honest here, this thing is a mess. You’ve got to be a complete idiot to believe it’s much ado about nothing. I’m just waiting for another quiz by our resident complete idiot.

This needs to stop.

If we were to hire KK as an OC, I think that's a tell that McV is coming back.

[bremillard]

I dont think it is as bad as some have stated. We just need to hear from McVay on whether is in or out and sooner the better. I expect if McVay is in, you will be 110% in, if he is out I expect Raheem or Thomas Brown to take the reigns and hire a Frank Reich, Kliff or Zac. I dont think the sky is falling, the Rams have know about this possibility for awhile, but again the quicker we have an answer the better.

McVay got us to two Super Bowls in 4 years, that buys him this opportunity. We were a laughing stock of team under Linny/Spags/Fisher. I dont forget that.

And they kind of are again. Maybe for a different reason but the rest of the NFL and pundits seem amused.

[Elvis]

Nah, he is the leader of this team. Leaders set a higher bar for themselves. Though we should always set the highest of standards for ourselves, when you are in a position of authority then it is imperative that those who are putting their trust in you are not disappointed.

I hear you but being open and honest, relatable to his players might be part of what makes McVay so good.

This thing is a mess but i'm never gonna blame McVay for being who he is, lot of Vermeil parallels...

ABSOLUTELY. He clearly isn't a quality HC, but be may be a great assistant.

well werent we last year as far as "we are all in" etc. I mean, the mainstream media is lazy and they just repeat the same things. This year the catch phrase is "the Rams mortgaged the future etc etc".

Now I am seeing McVay is leaving because "we have no draft picks", I mean we have all our 2023 picks but 1st, 4th and 5th, but extra 6th and we have comp picks coming. We have all our picks in 2024 and beyond...

I agree. People come as a package deal. What makes them great at something may well make them lousy at others. I get the emotion part. As a race team owner I went all in financially and emotionally. We did well but the prior success made me more stressed to do even better in the future. This stress eventually burned me out to the point where I took a hiatus and the relief was so great I may never step back up to an ownership/leadership role. This may well be where McVay is, but if a couple of years motivates him again how could it be as HC of the Rams unless they are still in the shitter should he want back in?

[Elvis]

Um, who died and made SpongeSeanDitherPants the new Ram Franchise Owner?

As I understand it, NFL Teams can block their Contracted Coaches from leaving their Team to go and take a lateral move with another Team. So, if that is correct, then let's take Ram OL Coach Carberry as an example here...

Isn't Carberry under Contract with the LA Rams Football Club, and being paid by Stan Kroenke dollars......and NOT Sean McVay's dollars???

So how is it that Sean McVay gets to allow Ram OL Coach Carberry to take the OL Coaching gig next week with, say...the 49ers???

How does that make sense???
....especially as McVay has stated that he may not come back as 2023 Rams HC.

What if the Los Angeles Rams want to keep Carberry as their OL Coach for 2023, but he's been told by LameDuck Head Coach McVay that he is free to walk to another NFL Team??

Some weirdness going on in TinselTown IMHO.

Like RedAlice posted: McVay is not The Rams. The Rams are the Rams!

By all accounts, the Rams from ownership on down are behind McVay and will support him whatever he decides.

You never know what's really going on in these situations but my read is Rams are trying very hard to make it work, even if that means giving McVay a year off...

I like Raymond Ventrone Colts special teams coordinator would be a great head coach here. Looks like a leader.

But I’m thinking it’s obvious Raheem Moore will get the job as interim head coach. They won’t call it interim. They’ll just say rams hire Rahim Moore to take over the team. Similar to Todd Bowles and Bruce Arians.

Sean Mcvay will move upstairs and have a front office role.

I think there’s some kind of mental health issue. And they are not talking about it. He will say mental health. It will be portrayed in the media and the statement will say Sean Mcvay leaves coaching the rams to address his mental health issue. And that more people need to talk about it. Hopefully this will allow other men to talk about mental health. The statement will read something like that.


The Ukrainian situation. He’s not thinking about football. That got in the way of his coaching. And maybe he doesn’t care about football right now. I don’t know. What I do know is he ain’t coaching the rams.

So the PR hire will be Raheem Morris. No Rooney rule stuff. And he’s a smart talented dude. Ride the ship til Sean gets back.

And then they’ll see if Sean gets back.

Raheem will be the head coach Kliff Kingsbury will be the offensive coordinator. Somebody with experience and talent has to coach Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp.

Facts Matthew Stafford will be back for Otas. Facts Matthew Stafford says he wants to come back for OTAS. The Mcvay thing is different.

Cooper Kupp will be back.

Keeping Aaron Donald happy will be hiring Raheem Moore. They keep Aaron Donald happy because they already paid Aaron Donald.

And then I don’t know in the off season sign some guy Odell Beckham. Matthew Happy.

Go get some good lineman and draft a quality edge rusher. We’ve drafted our DBs. Draft Stenson Bennett to be the new John Wolford.

And Thomas Brown Raheem Morris Kliff Kingsbury that’s a good staff.
