Curious who your top Rams HC is/was

[REV3NGE]

Curious...

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

No “Ground Chuck” Knox?

Edit: Ok, guess he was outside of 45 years.

 

[John R]

In no particular order:
George Allen
Chuck Knox
John Robinson
Dick Vermeil
Mike Martz and
Sean McVay

Sorry, I went back to my first time as a fan in 1966…

 

[rdlkgliders]

Uhm Hello, Hugo Bezdek The multi sport Coach that started it all for us

 

[Merlin]

DV gets the nod for now because he won the big one. But the moment McVay gets it done he's the top dog IMO.

 

[RamFan503]

I watched Robinson for so many years with the Rams and USC that it has to be him.

McVay is fast becoming a favorite. Maybe in a couple years.

Vermeil caught lightning in a bottle but then jumped ship under the guise of retiring, only to coach the Chefs for longer than the Rams. I will always be a little butt hurt over that. Of course, I have to consider who he was working for, so maybe a bit difficult to judge.

 

[sloramfan]

my vote was other...

somehow you forgot to include george allen...

maybe not the winningest coach, but will always be my favorite because he was the coach when i became a rams fan...

go rams

Georgia forced him to retire so they could hire Martz

Following is a picture of Georgia telling Vermeil he needs to retire

What McVay has done for this team is nothing short of miraculous and best of all sustainable. Afaik I don't believe we've had any other HC that has gone at least five years without any losing seasons. The best of both worlds in both scheme and personality and still somehow the youngest in the league with a decent gap between him and the second youngest. That's insane

 

[John R]

Remember Tommy Prothro? That was fun lol.

Remember Tommy Prothro? That was fun lol.

Very disappointing results.

The Rams' 6-7-1 record in 1972 was their only sub-.500 season in a 15-year period (1966-1980).

However, a ton of talent came-in during Prothro's two years (1971-1972). Never been sure if he was the primary personnel decision-maker, or a significant voice in such decisions. Regardless, these players all became Rams in those two years.

DL: Jack Youngblood, Fred Dryer and Larry Brooks.
LBs: Isaiah Robertson and Ken Geddes
DBs: Dave Elmendorf
RBs: Lawrence McCutcheon and Jim Bertelsen

 

[John R]

Yeah I was kidding. He was a real letdown after George Allen, but always interesting. He didn’t believe in left and right linemen, only strongside-weakside. Master of the trick play. Like I said, interesting guy, he just wasn’t cut out for pro football.

 

[IBruce80]

I voted for Vermiel based on his success of pulling off the big one.
However, I wouldn't want anyone other than McVay leading us right now. He's done so much in such a short amount of time.

Dred Dryer? Any relation to Judge Dredd

There is relationships that go into it all as well.Didn’t Vermiel start a trend with HC’s after they were hired ?

Mcvay was bred for this,he is living a lot of peoples dreams.I’d say most would say they’d rather be Les Snead in this relationship?

 

[Ramlock]

McVay-expecting a Bowl before he’s done in LA
Vermiel won the Bowl-exempt from subsequent negativity
Allen
Robinson

I always felt like Robinson did the best job of building a mentally tough team though he never got all the way and had the misfortune of having to deal with SF in the non-salary-cap era.

Eyes Left!

 

[SeminoleRam]

I voted for Sean McVay BUT I wish I could have listed a Tie for both McVay and Dick Vermeil!!!
