OFFICIAL 2021 Coaching changes / Black Monday

[OldSchool]

I want Bonamego fired as well, but a rogue coach will lose you games.

And yet people want Bones back who did the same exact thing last year.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

No, he wouldn't. Coombs went rogue and called a fake punt that nobody but him knew about. That's why he was fired.

He vastly improved Detroit's special teams. Maybe he'd be more under control on a better staff. Patricia was a mess. Plus McVay is open to an occasional fake punt. He has the best in the business punting for him.

That he did. I'm not denying he was a rising star, and if McVay wants him, I trust McVay's judgment. But a coach who goes rogue and doesn't listen to the head coach is worse than a coach who is merely incompetent.

trust in McVay on this one, see what transpires, there will be changes in the offseason, anyway I hope so/

How much do we really know about what happened or what was said? And if he did do it do you think it was a lesson learned? Losing an NFL coaching gig is a bitchslap of reality

Brad Holmes, Rams' director of college scouting, will interview for general manager positions

LOS ANGELES -- Brad Holmes, the Los Angeles Rams’ director of college scouting, is among the top candidates for general manager vacancies across the NFL.
Holmes is expected to interview with the Detroit Lions, a source told ESPN. He also will interview with the Atlanta Falcons.

In eight seasons as director of college scouting, Holmes helped construct a roster that won consecutive division titles in 2017 and 2018, made an appearance in Super Bowl LIII and is on the brink of clinching a third playoff berth in four seasons in 2020.

Two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, 2017 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Todd Gurley II and two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Jared Goff are among notable selections Holmes helped oversee.

Recently, as the Rams have gone four years without a first-round pick, Holmes has helped identify mid-to-late-round selections that have played prominent roles, including safety John Johnson III, tight end Tyler Higbee and safety Jordan Fuller.

Holmes, who turned 41 in July, has the support of many within the Rams organization, where he has made an impact beyond roster construction.

"He's become a valued voice in our organization as part of our leadership team on social justice and diversity issues, helping us lead a diverse group of people," Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff said. "Brad is one of the more valued voices we have in our building."

Rams general manager Les Snead called Holmes an impactful leader and said he's "equipped with dynamic intelligence, is an astute evaluator of football talent" and is "experienced in setting an 'all things considered' draft board."

Holmes has spent the entirety of his 18-year NFL career with the Rams, where he started as a public relations intern before shifting into scouting a year later and working his way up the ranks.

Holmes, who lives in Atlanta, played defensive tackle at North Carolina A&T, where he helped the team to a Black College National Championship.

The Lions have been searching for a general manager since firing Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia last month. The Falcons have been looking since October after firing general manager Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Dan Quinn after an 0-5 start.

It'll suck to lose him, but he's more than earned his chance at a GM spot.

 

[Ram Ts]

Interestingly, he is by fact a minority - Rams would receive two comp 3rd round picks if he gets hired away as a GM. So I’m rooting for him to get one of these open GM positions.

 

[Lunchbox]

Being selfish here but I'd rather keep him than let him go for draft picks.

We've had a few misses in the draft but overall have done an excellent job of identifying talent that fits what we want to do, not only in the draft but in UDFA afterwards.

 

[JRobinson]

Good for him. We’ve been killing it in the draft for a while now, and it’s apparent that Holmes has been a big part of that.

 

[Corbin]

Hello Atlanta, yes I was just calling for Brad Holmes as a reference. He’s very very good at what he does identifying college talent when he’s not doing rails of coke off prostitutes he brings to his office for ‘private times’. Small price to pay for him finding talent, and I’m sure he won’t get any more sexual harass..... hello? Mr. Blank???

 

[Angry Ram]

There's gonna be a ton of coaches being let go, on top of the ones already out....

Falcons
Texans
Jets
Jaguars
Lions
Chargers

Possible others...

Bears, depending on how far they go
Broncos
Vikings? Probably not. Mike Zimmer gets stellar years and then the next goes around .500.
Eagles? Probably not
Cowboys? Probably not
Raiders? Probably should and would, but can't.

 

[OldSchool]

Surprised Spanos will pay a guy to not coach. I thought he would get the axe though. Seems like a great guy he’ll get another look imo.

[NJRamsFan]

At this point there are just too many openings for Staley to not get a few calls and I think we all know he will interview well. Our best bet is if he wants to stay here and grow a few more years but unfortunately I believe if he wants to be a HC next season, he will

Yeah, I could be wrong but I think Lynn is a good head coach. He had some really bad injury luck the last two years especially on defense. They started to put it together there at the end of the season and honestly would have put them as surprise contenders next season if they had not fired Lynn. Now it'll depend on who they hire.

He has a winning record and had a 12 win season. I was impressed with the little I saw of him on hard knocks too. The renters need to figure out the voodoo going on with their injuries.

 

[OldSchool]

Woooof

Glad he’s not the Rams owner.
