If we were to get a new head coach who would you want

Jack del Rio

I'd fire Fisher, Shotty, and Williams and hire Larry, Curley, and Mo. I't least it would be entertaining while the Rams lost.

Jeff Fisher minus final say on incoming personnel.
Mike Martz minus final say on incoming personnel.
Rex Ryan minus final say on incoming personnel.

Just about any experienced Head Coach who has had some success minus final say on incoming personnel.

Problem is that every experience Head Coach wants say in personnel and most of them get it. Andy Reid, Bill Belichick & Lovie Smith to name a few. However, some don't like John Fox, but that's because the team gives somebody else total autonomy like John Elway.

I guess my question is to you sir do you prefer that the General Manager control the personnel and the Head Coach just coach? Very difficult to get an experience Head Coach to agree to that in today's NFL.

Bill Cowher

OC: Dana Holgorsen (my homer pick)...but he would know how to use these guys like Tavon lol

DC: Keith Butler

Yes. My preference is for both the GM and HC to work together with the GM having final say on personnel.

Difficult, but not impossible. Depends on the coach and the situation. For example, my guess is that someone like Martz or Ryan would take such a gig in a New York second just to be head coaches.

True, but if the Rams go in that direction I see them keeping Les Snead and then empowering him to hire a Head Coach and IMO he won't go with a Rex Ryan or Mike Martz I see Snead going to the collegiate ranks with the likes of Bob Stoops, David Shaw or Brian Kelly for example.

Eek. Just the name Shaw makes me skittish!

His Daddy Willie Shaw was Defensive Coordinator for the St. Louis Rams from 1994-1996 under Papa Smurf Richie Brooks.

Yeah - just a guttural reaction to the name. I call for a moratorium on anyone with the last name of Shaw, Zygmunt, or Frontiere for that matter.

Maybe that's exactly what we need to exorcise the evil demons left over from that triumphant.

I'd be inclined to find a longtime experienced coordinator. Seems to be working greatly for the Cardinals and Bruce Arians.

Who is one of those coordinators that's been killing it for years and years that perhaps has been overlooked?

I'm thinking someone like Hue Jackson is seriously due. He was ousted way too early in Oakland.


On another note...are there any retreads that pique your interest? I don't even me just for the Rams...theres always a few names out there that failed as HCs that I'd be intrigued to see get another whack at it...Mike Nolan and our old friend Pat Shurmer come to mind.

Todd Bowles (Cardinals DC) & Hue Jackson would be on my short list. Bowles would be intriguing has been overlooked and even has a winning record as an interim Head Coach albeit just 2-1 when he took over for the Dolphins.

Bowles is a Parcells disciple, however, usually teams go in opposite directions of philosophy of the current Head Coach and in that case Hue Jackson would fit the bill.

Perhaps. But, since Fisher isn't going anywhere anytime soon (nor should he), it's pretty much a moot point.
