Aubrey Pleasant gone

[dieterbrock]

We do still have those guys on our defense though...ya know...the two that are really good...I cant remember their names

Darren Arnold and Raylon Jamsey or something like that?

 

[So Ram]

We deserve it. He should have become our DC this time.

Yeah right. He didn’t even get the DC job in Detroit.Yes I like him,but there is reasonings.he wants to go back for his foundation & meaning for LIFE.Morris is such a good hire.
I still b

 

[So Ram]

How well has Long Jr. developed under Pleasant?
I expected something more.
The 4th safety sees the field more than him.
Maybe not all has been rosy.

Yep! Like I said though Aubrey’s heart is in Michigan.Solid coach,but how can you argue Mcvays’s hire’s.

 

[So Ram]

He'd going to need too. A lot of big shoes to fill.

The Rams coaching is a solid coaching staff.I will say Joe Barry & Aubrey are both very Firey guys.They set the tone at practice.
It will be interesting to see what training camp looks like now.I’ll go to both practices this year.
SUCKS he didn’t get a DC job though.The Rams are a good Franchise ,and Mcvay believes in developing coaches.
My hope is Sean Mcvay continues to grow as a HC.Huge offseason for McSnead

That's what I'll miss. Dude was fiery and intense. And that's something this team already missed, seems like too many damn times do we come out flat and get pushed over.

Sounds good,but sometimes it’s best to Cage the Beast.The Rams need to become more of a Veteran Team.

 

[UKram]

I wish Aubrey all the best. But I’m not gonna lose sleep over his loss.

BTW, what’s the over/under on when McVay/Morris hire his replacement? Thursday sound about right? Lol.

I have a feeling mcvay has a LOOOONG ass list of potential coaches for every spot he needs on the coaching staff ... dude is so used to losing his staff he is ready to go

 

[dieterbrock]

I think the writing was on the wall for a guy like Pleasant who may have had ambitions to coach closer to home. Seems like that's why they went with the seasoned DC who is likely more adept and bringing guys up thru the ranks. McVay knew he was losing guys, even if Pleasant was promoted to DC, his spot was going to open up, so Mc doesnt have to train a guy on being a DC while helping him learn how to cultivate the talent underneath him.

I didn't realize he was from the Michigan area. So it makes more sense to me.

FWIW on Raheem Morris he has only been a DC once in his career and that was in college back in 2006 at Kansas State, the rest of the time in the NFL, he's been DB Coach, Head Coach and Assistant Head Coach the rest of his tenure.

He was also the DC in Tampa his 1st 2 seasons, but point being he's a much more seasoned coach than an dback coach. 8 years as a HC/Asst HC, he's much more equipped to mentor up and coming assistants

 

[BonifayRam]

The hits keep coming...

And you thought the hitting stop when the Rams season came to a close??

We do still have those guys on our defense though...ya know...the two that are really good...I cant remember their names

Are the three you are speaking of....

Eric Henderson coaches DL & his assistant DL coach is Thad Bogardus.

Chris Shula coaches OLB'ers. However, before he was assigned his current position Shula was Joe Barry's assistant linebackers coach in 2017-18. So there could be an elevated position coming his way if the Rams Org. desires. If DC Morris moves the defense to a 43 then Shula might end up as the full ILB/OLB coach with a new assistant assigned to him.

Ejiro Evero coaches Safety contingent.


The now-vacant CB coaching position might be already on staff. He is Jonathan Cooley who was hired last season as the
DEFENSIVE QUALITY CONTROL coach.

If DC Morris goes with a 43 D then he may already just about set in his DL & Lb'er coaching...all that will be needed is a LB assistant coach to go with Shula & a few defensive quality control coaches.

 

[RamFan503]

It sounds like he gets to go home.

I'm happy for the guy.

Yeah but.... Maybe it was more like this:

Morris will likely bring in one of his guys

The Rams 2020 version of 3 corners fielded performed very well.

The development of CB Darious Williams permitted former DC Staely to use the best DB in the NFC to do whatever was needed each week. Williams was a very big sleeper coming out of college anyway so if you go back to Search my posts on Williams 2018/2019 it was just a matter of time for him to explode on the field.

Yes, you are correct David Long has been very S L O W to develop. He was a hot college CB prospect. When he has been on the field with the Rams defense .......he will get beat & usually results in completion.

CB Troy Hill will depart due to a lack of Cap Salary funds & 3rd yr corner Long is most likely in a position to fill his position. Rams are not in a good position currently with any young talented corners in the pipeline to be groomed. I would expect several corners to be drafted this upcoming draft.

I'm not seeing that in his bio, that he was ever Defensive Coordinator with Tampa Bay, or anywhere else, the only time he held the title of DC was in college at Kansas State prior to this season with the Falcons.

• Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2004–2005)
  Assistant defensive backs coach
• Kansas State (2006)
  Defensive coordinator
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2007–2008)
  Defensive backs coach
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2009–2011)
  Head coach

I didnt think it was debatable, thought it was just common knowledge. He was the defacto DC like McVay has been the defacto OC. Surprised you dont remember this TBH.
Either way, it wasnt the point, he's much more suited to mentor young coaches than a rising coach would be. Like I said, they would have had to have filled Pleasant's spot either way, seems that Morris is a guy McVay could just trust the staff with and not have to nurture a rising DC while having so many other holes to fill.

Mid way thru Morris 1st year as coach they fired Jim Bates and Morris took over

Bucs sack Bates; Morris to call defensive plays

Continuing a tumultous year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers changed defensive coordinators Monday night, demoting Jim Bates and handing over their defense to head coach Raheem Morris, according to sources close to the situation.

He stayed on as DC in 2010 (his best year as coach)

3 big losses for our coaching staff/FO. Hard not to see us regressing next year tbh.

I thought that when Wade left. In Mcvay I trust until he gives me a reason not to.

 

[Memento]

Wish him the best of luck in Detroit. Apparently, it's his home, and it's a promotion, so hopefully he'll have a successful season, when he doesn't face us.
