This was interesting from Jourdan at the Athletic;
“Mike LaFleur, who was most recently with the Jets before he was let go earlier this month, is absolutely a name to watch here and perhaps even a frontrunner, some league sources believe. McVay has a type.
Other external coordinator candidates who could draw interest from the Rams include Eagles quarterback coach Brian Johnson, Bengals quarterback coach Dan Pitcher, and the Rams could kick the tires on Scott Turner, who was let go in Washington. Internally, Thomas Brown (running backs/assistant head coach) and Zac Robinson (quarterbacks) have impressed in their various roles, especially at the end of the season. Brown helped revive a terrible run game and Robinson was a crucial part of onboarding waiver-wire acquisition Baker Mayfield in Week 14.
As McVay teetered back and forth with his decision, former Colts head coach Frank Reich was an option in case the Rams needed a play caller who could be an interim head coach. As far as a coordinator position is concerned, many around the league believe Reich would prefer to be a head coach (though he would unmistakably provide veteran savvy and emotional balance for McVay as an OC).”
