He brings up a point with Demoff's record running the show. I don't think Demoff should still be in that role. He has done a very poor job.
created a profane last eff you letter to the board, with pictures of cuss words used so their program wouldn't remove the words from view.
Disagree.Did Fisher fail? Yes. Was it because of Demoff/Kroenke? Probably not.
Well, okay, but that's really not something I wanna see the COO doing. Picking coordinators and dictating the way a head coach coaches while stepping on the GM to do it.
Well, I had the same User Name over there as here...I was a a member from 2002 to 2014, when I happened to criticize Bernie M....He's a thin skinned scum bag and banned me..best thing that ever happened...lolYeah, you had to do a lot to get canned on that board!
But, it was the first one I joined and I made a lot of friends as a result.
Sadly, another board took a lot of that away (not that I was an angel or anything ).
I was talking about the P-D board... I never joined Bernie's ClubhouseWell, I had the same User Name over there as here...I was a a member from 2002 to 2014, when I happened to criticize Bernie M....He's a thin skinned scum bag and banned me..best thing that ever happened...lol
We are talking about the same board..Rams Talk.I was talking about the P-D board... I never joined Bernie's Clubhouse
Didn't Bernie have his own forum on the P-D? I thought I remembered that..We are talking about the same board..Rams Talk.
Yes, Bernie's Press Box, where sycophants fawned over every word....He was also a Moderator for all boards if he chose....and he chose to do that to me....But that's ok, that place was never the same after the delusion was punctured, and the Rams were chosen to move to LA.Didn't Bernie have his own forum on the P-D? I thought I remembered that..
So Demoff has no role in the organization not winning?Well, okay, but that's really not something I wanna see the COO doing. Picking coordinators and dictating the way a head coach coaches while stepping on the GM to do it. If that's your preferred method of how a hierarchy should work, you might not attract too many legitimate candidates in either role. Nobody wants to take a job as GM or HC knowing that the COO has the power to supersede anything you wanna do. Especially after interviewing and getting hired on the basis of how *you* wanna build and run the team. I think this is just a case of crap rolling uphill. We get rid of players - not enough. Get rid of coaches - not enough. Get rid of the COO? Yeah, that should do it. If not, get rid of the Owner. If that doesn't work, get rid of homo sapiens as a whole. lol.
Then what gives you confidence he isn't getting played again.Fisher played him well.

That's not what I said. I said he hires the coaches and manages the cap. When he hires two of the most sought after coaches in the league (now three), and lets them build and run the team in accordance with their philosophy, his job is done. It's not his job to dictate how the Coach or GM coaches or manages. I'm not aware of any COO's who do that, anyway. It's not that I'm absolving him of all wrongdoing or anything. I just don't see how you've made a compelling case that he's directly to blame for the last two coach's failures.So Demoff has no role in the organization not winning?
Sean McVay may want to call Scott Linehan and Steve Spagnulo, two prominent assistant coaches who got chewed up and expulsed after sad, regrettable stints as Rams’ head coaches.
Linehan went 11-25 as coach of the Rams; Spagnuolo’s record was 10-38. Both continue to earn respect as coordinators. Linehan runs the Dallas offense, and Spags has rebuilt his coaching rep in his second tour as the NY Giants’ defensive coordinator. But even with so many head-coaching jobs open, no team has expressed interest in interviewing Linehan or Spagnuolo. They still carry the Rams’ taint in some way.
— I don’t know if Linehan or Spagnuolo ever had a true chance to prove themselves as head coaches during their time with the Rams.
And they’re still waiting for a second HC opportunity that may never come.
Here's an example I'll give to illustrate my point: In the 2006 draft Reggie Bush was a slam dunk for the first overall pick. He was billed as the next Marshall Faulk. The Texans had the first pick in the draft and everybody thought they should take him. Instead they picked Mario Williams. History shows they made the right choice. Point being just because Demoff picked highly sought after guys doesn't absolve him from the fact he picked guys who couldn't get the job done. His job is to do all the work to make the right move and be judged on the move. He has hired another guy and is getting high praise for the move. We'll see if it pans out. If it doesn't should he be afforded another chance? If not why? He landed a highly sought after coach and that's what mattersThat's not what I said. I said he hires the coaches and manages the cap. When he hires two of the most sought after coaches in the league (now three), and lets them build and run the team in accordance with their philosophy, his job is done.
