It was just a thought that came to me when I was reading an article about him that was targeted for 49ers fans. One of the comments was "Just throw a bunch of money at him in a week". Got me thinking a bit.Yea, the most logical ulterior motive(imo) has been mentioned...they want to negotiate a new contract with him.
Waiting a week will likely end up with all the OC slots filled except maybe 1 or 2. The desperation level of the Rams will not have changed but there will be less demand for his services...and if the Rams opt to go in another direction, he won't have a fallback option.
I just don't think the drive up the costs theory makes much sense here. In the end, he's likely not going to have anymore leverage than he would have had otherwise AND he'll not have any fallback options if the Rams decide his personality doesn't mesh or that they don't like his scheme ideas.
I'm also pretty sure he could fall back to the Colts as well. His Consultant/Assistant role is likely not one that is going to be filled once he leaves.
