Official New Rams Coaching Staff Thread

Never going to happen.
While Norv's system is similar to the one McVay wants to run, it is different.
And why would Norv even interview for a position where he WILL NOT call the plays?

I have to nitpick at this minor point, Rambitious (my apologies). Norv's systems isn't that similar to McVay's. Norv is an Air Coryell traditionalist. He runs a vertically-oriented Air Coryell designed around high-low reads.

McVay came up under the Grudens and Shanahans. He's a West Coast Offense disciple. That system is built around high percentage passes and a lot of low-high reads. I think McVay is a bit more vertically aggressive than a WCO traditionalist like Andy Reid, but he's still not running a system that resembles an Air Coryell.

Norv and McVay are like oil and water. Just not a good fit.

Hmm...Then why not hire him? He's not with another team, unless they are waiting to check with somebody else. IDK, maybe they will announce Kromer later today because the Rams are on the West Coast, where the sun sets.

Just guessing, but they may be doing a lot of background work on him due to "the incident".

You Should've Stayed in your Beach CHAIR @dieterbrock

 

[A.J. Hicks]

I've watched this a few times now and I cannot believe how much he reminds me of John Gruden. Seems like a guy you'd really want to compete. Notice as an offensive coordinator you see him getting work with the lineman, backs, receivers, tight ends, and qb's.

Kromer does not strike me as the type that would approve of these type of beach chairs, I believe they would look more like this:

Shoot, at this point, I'd punch 3 or 4 kids in the face for a really good OL/OC coach....

Too bad Jerry Sullivan said he's likely retiring:

He's one of the best WR Coaches in the game.

That is too bad a great WR Coach and always wanted to the Rams to hire him, maybe that is the position that Wes Phillips will oversee.

Good read that highlights two teams whose respective oline coaches may certainly be our targets for OC.

Not to mention the verbiage is waaayyy different

I'll throw a name out for TE Coach, Terry Malone. Was fired from his OC job at Purdue. He was the Saints TE Coach from 2006 to 2014. I think we all know how good the Saints TE play was during that period of time.

Well, if Wes Phillips is coming, he is going to have to coach something. Now again, I am under the assumption that the Redskins will allow Phillips to leave to coach with his Dad and I thought Phillips was going to be QB Coach, but right now, it might just be a lateral move and Phillips will coach tight ends or Phillips will be Offensive Coordinator and Aaron Kromer will be the Offensive Line/Running Game Coordinator. Who knows?

So far IMHO on defens, Wade Phillips is an upgrade and DL Coach Bill Johnson & LB Coach Joe Barry are a downgrades over Mike Waufle and former LB Coach Frank Bush, while the new DB Coaches Aubrey Pleasant & Samson Brown are a wash to Dennard Wilson & Brandon Fisher. Overall the unit should be better under Wade, but I hope they can add some others to that side that have had more success than Johnson & Barry.

Completely awesome. I can totally hear John Facenda's voice

Skip Peete staying on as running back coach

The @RamsNFL are still putting together their offensive staff, but Skip Peete is staying with the team as running backs coach.

Not a fan of retaining Coach Peete

Why not?

 

[OldSchool]

Why not?

Some people will blame Gurley's decline on him and his coaching but personally I think it was mostly the game plan and the horrible play by the OLine. It's easy to get caught up in wanting a splash at every coaching spot. Peete has done well in the past and there likely wasn't anybody else worth hiring out there. So while it's lackluster I think it's a decent guy to retain.
