All-Time Favorite Rams Coaches?

[paceram]

Just curious on who are some of your all-time favorite Rams coaches are. I would list mine as:

#1 Dick Vermeil - Even though he had a short career as the Rams Head Coach I loved the
enthusiasm and passion that he brought to the Rams Organization, Players,
Fans, etc!
#2 Chuck Knox

#3 George Allen - Allen was the Rams Head Coach when I first started following the Rams

#4 John Robinson

#5 Jeff Fisher - Incomplete! But, I hope he moves up the list in the next few years!

And, I do realize that many on this board are ST. LOUIS RAMS fans not L.A. Rams Fans BUT
as of now we are ALL RAMS FANS!

Malavasi, Robinson and Martz. Cant really put a 1-3 on it, I'd call it a 3 way tie for first

Prothro
Spagnuolo
Svare

[Dieter the Brock]

1. Vermeil, he took us to the promise land and won
2. Martz, he took us to the promise land
3. Malavasi, he took us to the promise land

Vermeil, Martz, Gregg Williams.

Since I've been a Rams fan I've seen 6 (not including interims) head coaches. Vermiel and Martz are the only 2 I'd call favorites. After that I'd order them like this...Fisher, Spags, Linehan, Brooks.

Fisher is definitely in a different class than the other three, but still needs to have a winning season to move into some kind of "favorite" category.

Joe Stydahar. Someone had to remember him. Coached 1951 championship team.

1. Vermeil, he took us to the promise land and won
2. Martz, he took us to the promise land
3. Malavasi, he took us to the promise land

Can NOT argue with that reasoning!!!

WOW! Great question!! Tough to answer when you think back thru all the Great coach's! ie.

Hard choice, Best Record? Best Motivator? Most Likeable? Or Just My Favorite Guy!?! I'll go with George Allen!!

1. Vermeil, he took us to the promise land and won
2. Martz, he took us to the promise land
3. Malavasi, he took us to the promise land

These Coach's weren't the ONLY ones to get us their!

I love my early years as a RAMS fan during the decade of the 70’s. I was at a great age (9-19) for being a football fan while I was still playing the game myself. As most of you know the RAMS went to three straight NCF Championship games (74, 75, & 76) with each loss hurting worse than the last. That run thickened my skin for what was about to happen in the following decades. So thank you Mr. Knox for the"Three yards and a cloud of dust" and toughening me up while keeping the HORNS securely on my head.

That's is 100% correct but these 3 are my favorites
I was born in 1972

Knox is not in my TOP 5, But he'd be #6!!

Well, my avatar makes a statement, however, loved Chuck Knox the first time around, however, Harland Svare (before George Allen) did not win many games, but he sure did look the part!

Well I was born in 91' and became a Rams fan in 98' so I'll base it from then until now:

1. Martz (He was the guy when I was growing up. Loved those years seeing the Rams win)
2. Vermeil (I was too young to really care about head coaches, but he won us a Super Bowl)
3. Fisher (Took this team from trash to a team that can beat anyone any given Sunday)
