I want someone who's great at being a defensive coordinator, and yet has no desire to become a HC again. That list has to be small.

Explain to me how Donald cant go back inside with gains with Fox and hopefully Fowler on the outside.
I will say that's how Fowler was used in Jacksonville and by every report even his own comments that wasn't playing to his strengths. I agree AD can go back inside in a 4-3 but Fowler in a 4-3 is a misuse that we shouldn't do.

Well, I for one, am not thrilled with this decision to part ways with Wade. When I think of this last season and it's troubles, all I think of is the offense, not the D.

Now with Wades departure, the whole team needs an overhaul. Why not keep stability on the defense and focus on upgrading the offense.

Watch what happens next. The offense gets it together next season after a few tweaks, but the new coordinator goes with a 4-3 and the "new" defense has no chemistry.

I think we should have just fired the equipment manager instead and moved on!

By Wade and thank you for being...well...Wade!

Although I understand why they let him go, I don't think there's anyone better available at the moment. If they do switch back to a 4-3, I feel Fowler is gone for sure.

As in “that’s big news and also a big gamble, but one I expected them to make.”

We also move Brockers Joseph-Day and everybody along the front 3/4 around that doesn't mean doing it play in and play out is going with their strengths. It's no coincidence that Fowler's best play came when he finally went back to an Edge in a 3-4.

Shane Waldron next? And promote Wes Phillip's to passing games coordinator.

We already did that after the Super Bowl.

One I have to say who had been with the Rams before the move from LA and whose father was the equipment manager for the Rams before him and whose brother was also an assistant since the move back from St Louis.

To me this really showed how the Rams are not afraid to move on if it does the team good.

Fascinating stuff.

I love McVay because he’s such a cerebral coach. Makes sense that he would want a more scheme-flexible coach on D.

, Joe Barry’s track record has been underwhelming, hope they don’t turn to him.

I think this was at least sort of expected in varying degrees by many fans.
