Rams asked permission to interview Pat Shurmur for OC job

[diggity]

Geez. Fisher should have been gone a long time ago. 4 years of sub .500. Bad drafts. Bad FA pickups. No discipline on the team. No holding players accountable for weak play and mistakes. And now...Shurmur!:rant:
AGAIN!!!
GO RAMS!!!!

He certainly had a chance to hire Hue Jackson as OC back in 2012, Fisher interviewed Jackson and Schottenheimer for OC and Jackson ended up as the WR coach for the Bengals so I'm sure he would've jumped at the chance to be OC back in 2012.

Yep. Somebody has their history right. Rams chose Schotty over Hue. What a colossally poor decision that was. And if they choose Shurmur (or Boras) over DeFilippo, it will be another colossally poor decision.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

If we do hire Shurmur, as much as I hated him when he was here, he did work well with Sam Bradford both times they've been together. And we do need a QB.

fancents86: I thought he left because the Browns hired his as the head coach. Am I losing my mind? I remember we greatly improved on offense after the 1-15 season.

Or this..........

How on earth does a person not know they're about to take a dump? The mind boggles.

This is true. He was hired as HC. We did greatly improve...unfortunately, it was from one of the all time worst offenses to only a bad offense.

What is this a freakin premature April fools joke?

What's next calling up joe Klopenstein and Adam Carriker out of retirement?

Alex Barron has already gotten an early start after hearing the news. Just like the old days.

Kind of makes you wish you had a tail....

Wow really? The Rams must not like Defilippo at all. We go from "almost" giving Boras the job, to asking to interview Shurmur, but not make an offer to Defilippo. Weird.

Could be more about job security than salary. Fisher only has 1 year remaining on his contract, may not be worth uprooting your family for what may be a very temporary job. jmo.

Jerry@32 Hue was not then or now a philosophy fit with Fisher and is the same reason why he will not go up to get Goff. And by the way that offense was no where as bad as this year's Rams.

 

[kurtfaulk]

Nope, also the highest # of his career.

I refused to believe this so i looked it up and it was in fact his lowest ypa of his career at 6.0.

After regressing during the mcdouche era he continually improved. Shame about the injuries.

And that's why Jeff Fisher should not be head coach of this team. Jeff Fisher is not an offensive mind. He has no business passing on better OCs because their philosophy doesn't fit his. His offensive philosophy should be to hire the best damn OC in the business.

The 2010 offense? It averaged 18.1 PPG to the Rams 17.5 PPG this year. That was with a ridiculously easy schedule. That offense still sucked.

Hard to have job security when you have no job.

 

[RamFan503]

Bradford is coming back.

First thing I thought. Maybe we end up getting that restructured contract out of him after all.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Thinking about this further....

I still have a Bradford jersey....

Okay, I'm down.

I guess your assumption is that the Rams offer will be his only offer.

 

[jrry32]

I'm not seeing any other OC jobs out there being offered to him. I guess we will wait and see what opens up and what offers are made.

Sigh...Nothing has changed except the home location.
