Rams unable to get out of Boston in time to meet with Shanahan

[VeteranRamFan]

How about the schedule is also dictated by the availability of the potential HC candidates?

 

[dieterbrock]

What a fail.
What are these guys flying coach or something?
Good grief.
If shanahan was their top choice they should have had contingency plan set up to ensure they met.
Not a confidence builder for the Rams front office

 

[StealYoGurley]

Everyone is acting like the Rams had a choice. To me it looks like Shanny had 2 days to interview and he split his for interviews up over 2 days. Its unfortunate, but if there is strong mutual interest Daddy Demoff will make it happen for his son.

Yeah, I mean has no one ever heard of face time, gotomeeting, or something similar? Send Snead or whoever the hell is second in command around there to Atlanta and the others to New England. Have the others teleconference into each others interviews they are leading? Jesus, it's 2017 get with the program.

Yeah like it never snows in the north east in January.
Great planning fellas

I think Atlanta was the issue.

 

[StealYoGurley]

I dont understand why people are acting like they know the schedule of 3 NFL coordinators in the play offs. Its 2 days, 3 coaches may not be the easiest thing in the world to schedule. For all we know the Rams tried to schedule it Friday, but it didn't work out.

I think Atlanta was the issue.

Probably. The folks here in Atlanta know virtually nothing! about how to prepare for snow & ice. Schools were canceling classes and businesses were canceling work for this past Friday in anticipation for the first snowfall of the winter season.

 

[dieterbrock]

I think Atlanta was the issue.

They couldn't get out of Boston though. I think flights were delayed going out

 

[Florida_Ram]

The speculation and suspense builds.

"Hey since we're gonna be here for a while, why don't you just sign here and here..."

Don't want to mess with a Super Bowl run. Talk about 2 teams going in separate ways since a Super Bowl.

 

[VegasRam]

Funny thread.

IF...(blah blah blah), THEN Rams are stupid, stuck in the 19th century, unprepared, don't watch weather reports, still use flip phones, and are basically inept.

Gosh, one could infer an underlying agenda.

 

[Rambitious1]

Fate?

Dear Lord I hope not.

Awww.... You are just trying to disappoint me and make me despondent.

Dispatch Snead in a snowmobile to set up the vid, and serve coffee and donuts... I like it!

There is literally nothing to gain by meeting in person. Everything can be done on a live conference meeting with the exception of locking the door so Shanahan can't leave. That would need to be done in person.

So yeah. Maybe a web conference isn't very smart.

You forgot the two 6'8 350 pound door security guys who will keep him inside so he gives up hope and signs! :rolllaugh:

There's an obvious joke to be made here.

"You mean like [insert one of our O-linemen here] and [another one of our O-linemen here]? Well, he can just walk right past those guys."

 

[dieterbrock]

Well Elway was able to get to Atlanta to interview Shanny the other day. Fortunately for the broncos it never snows in Denver I guess

 

[CGI_Ram]

It does feel like our travel coordination could have been better.

And... I'm a fast pace guy... so the interview process feels to be moving more deliberate than I'd like. Not so much that I expect to hire a guy already... but we have a bigger list of names to interview than I'd prefer.

All that said; got to give these guys a chance to do it their way. It's their jobs on the line, not mine.
