Enjoy Gentlemen....I really like the offensive backfield/Special Teams Coach, but that's just me.
Large coaching staff for 1973. Like you I read it cover to cover and is why I have such a great recollection of that team and their balding field general. (That was for @Loyal )9-man coaching-staff, including the Head Coach.
2025 Rams have a 23-man coaching-staff.
That was my 1st Rams Media Guide Father got it for me. Read it cover-to-cover.
Big deal back in ancient times because there was so little coverage of teams outside your local area.

When he started returning kickoffs and they saw the speedCullen Bryant as a CB? I never knew that. With 12 RBs in camp, how did Cullen end up a RB?
Teams carried a lot of running backs at that time ... 5 or 6 (on a 45-man roster) was common.Cullen Bryant as a CB? I never knew that. With 12 RBs in camp, how did Cullen end up a RB?
Sounds like a plan. Let's run with it.In 1973, McCutcheon and Bertelsen started (and were the best combo in the NFL). They were backed-up by four more RBs (Touchdown Tony Baker, Larry Smith, Les Josephson and Rob Scribner). Those back-ups had over 200 carries; and the Rams ran the ball more than 45 times per-game.
Count me in on that as well Den. It's amazing how many great coaches originated in Northern Ca. in this area. Vermeil from Napa, Madden and his best pal Johnny Robinson from Daly City, the gum chewer from Marin County, and many more.Enjoy Gentlemen....I really like the offensive backfield/Special Teams Coach, but that's just me.
Youngblood…Magic still lingers in the very name.We had two guys named Olsen and two guys named Youngblood on the team.
Brothers Merlin and Phil played side-by-side at DT for much of 1971 and 1972.We had two guys named Olsen and two guys named Youngblood on the team.
