None. That’s only for minority coaches becoming head coaches or GMs.
That's freaking BS. So it's totally cool to just raid a staff for HCs each year? WTF?? Pretty soon every playoff teams coach will have been on McVay's staff.

Merlin,
I dunno my friend. I'm hearing that they are going to trade Cousins. So who's going to be the QB there?

~ArkyRamsFan~
Who is their right mind is going to trade for Cousins?
He has 1 year 35 mill guaranteed deal and already had the franchise tag on him twice
Thats about as untradeable as it gets

McVay's coaching tree keeps growing. Wonder if we'll go outside the organization with a guy like Greg Olson or Jay Gruden or if we'll promote from within with a guy like Thomas Brown. O'Connell coached Kirk Cousins in Washington, and the Vikings have a talented roster. I wouldn't be surprised if he's another success from Sean's tree.
I’d love either Olson or Gruden. Under Olson, both Bulger and Jackson had career years in his one season as Rams OC. Gruden is great at scheming strong run game and he’s obviously close with McVay. Both prob won’t be looked at as HC either.

OK ... I am pretty sure you are just kidding ... Ha Ha.

However, given recent history concerning Rams' staff, could you please use blue font just so we can be sure.

Thanks in advance.

Brown to OC/RB Coach & Wes Phillips to QB Coach. Zach Robinson could also be QB Coach too.

O'Connell has been fantastic for us, I'm glad he's getting a shot. Mcvay blocked him from going with Staley last year so it's cool that that paid off for him and he gets a chance to lead a team.

O'Connell should thank McVay for blocking him from leaving to the Chargers. Now instead he's going to be a HC. Very nice promotion.

I'd take Olson Gruden....and I'd love it if Kingsbury got fired I'd take him as oc

Let's give Morris oc job cause he will step up to mcvay when he has brain farts and hire Fangio as our d.c.!!!!

Meh.

We have an offensive head coach that calls the plays. Clearly the rest are replaceable.

Morris needs to get hired away. Then we get a comp pick right? I’m all in for Fangio for DC. As long as McVay is here, it doesn’t matter who our OC is so hire away!

The jobs are dwindling though and I'm shocked Harbaugh didn't get hired.

Brown seems like a good internal option for Offensive Coordinator. Possibly Phillips.

Could also see McVay trying to bring back Liam Coen who seems like a rising star.
