Rams' Coaching Staff (2025)

[Allen2McVay]

Thought it might be good to have a thread dedicated to the Rams’ Coaching Staff.

Clearly, I need a life but we’ll save that topic for another thread.

I am a big believer that one of McVay’s many strengths is building a strong and versatile staff. Not as many staff changes as recent years but there have been a few, and a number of new head coaches are still building their staffs.

The Staff Defections thus far include Nick Caley (TE-coach and Pass-Game-Coordinator), John Streicher, who held the title of Coordinator of Football Strategy and A.C. Carter (assistant-DL-coach)

Caley made a nice jump to be the Offensive Coordinator of the talented Houston Texans, with a strong, young head coach that has a defensive background. Caley could well be in-line for a head coaching opportunity within a couple years.

Streicher joined the Patriots, reuniting with Mike Vrabel. Streicher was on Vrabel’s staff in Tennessee. It will be interesting to see if McVay hires or assigns a coach to fill Streicher’s role. It’s tough to gauge his impact in 2025 but there was little criticism of McVay’s game-time management this year.

Carter got an elevated position to be the Edge-coach in Carolina. Less stability in Carolina but Ejiro Evero is a well thought of Defensive Coordinator; and Carter’s title is a clear promotion.

As far as Staff Additions, McVay hired Former Ravens, Giants and Patriots LB-coach Drew Wilkins, with the title of Pass-Rush Coordinator. Wilkins is a disciple of former Ravens and Giants DC Don “Wink” Martindale; and was viewed as his right-hand-man. I don’t believe anyone was designated a pass-rush-coordinator in 2024.

Just yesterday, the Rams … partially … replaced Caley, with the hiring of Scott Huff as the new TE-coach. Huff was on Mike McDonald’s staff last season, as the Seahawks’ OL-coach but was let go (I believe) when McDonald changed offensive coordinators.

Huff is an interesting hire. Prior to Seattle, he was a college coach; and mostly coached the offensive line but did have some TE coaching experience earlier in his career. Could such a hiring reflect some changes in McVay’s 2025 offensive game-planning?

Should McVay designate a coach to fill Caley’s role as a pass-game-coordinator, will it be from the outside, or internal. I wonder if Offensive-Assistant / Pass-Game Specialist Nate Scheelhaase might get a promotion. Scheelhaase (34) got some OC interviews, and seems like a riser.

I think that is an up-to-date summary.

so Rams are -1 in the turnover category

I don't know many of the smaller coaching positions but I do know the QB coach Dave Ragone from his days as QB at the University of Louisville. Dude was a hell of a college QB,his game was very similar to Steve Young. Lefty and a hell of a runner with the ball, he's listed at 221 but seemed much bigger than that because he ran through and over many smaller tacklers.

We also lost Senior Football Analyst Scott Frost. That might seem like small potatoes but he undoubtedly contributed to some of the creativity in the 2024 Offense/Special Teams. Specifically on the punt block against the Bills, the pre-snap rotation/stunt is a Frost classic to confuse blocking assignments.

Frost was the OC at Oregon during Marcus Mariota’s peak, then took over a winless UCF team as HC and brought them to an undefeated season within 2 years. He followed that with an ugly head coaching stint at Nebraska. The Rams hired him from there and he had a glowing review of McVay’s culture. He is now back as UCFs HC.

The above came to fruition yesterday, with the announcement that Scheelhaase got the promotion.

Rams’ Director of Scouting Strategy James Gladstone was hired to be the General Manager in Jacksonville.

Both new assistants sound like good hires. Wilkins sounds like a great pickup as pass rush coordinator. I love the idea of integrating some of Martindale’s pass rush concepts into the Rams defense…… without having to add Wink to the staff

Ditto for Huff, for the very reason you pointed out. The offense got a bit predictable. I hope McVay changes a few things up. Huff could bring a different background to the Tight End group. I wonder if this means McVay wasn’t entirely happy with the blocking from the tight ends that the Rams had to rely on most of last year.

Jourdan reports Munchack as a consultant this year, we keep him for one more year!!

That's good news.

Now he just needs to explain to Limmer and Dotson that it's kind of important to at least attempt to block the best player on the opposing defense.

Thanks for posting.

Lake returns to the Rams after being let go by Atlanta; and Shamash, who replaces John Streicher, held a Game Management Coordinator role with the Jets the past three seasons. Would have over-lapped with Mike LaFleur in 2022; so, perhaps the Rams' OC made a recommendation.

Alex Van Pelt feels like a small get, got shafted in CLE because they were trying to Frankenstein an offense for offendobot

 

[20hrswk]

I read somewhere Van Pelt was Rodger's QB coach for 3 years?

Coached in Green Bay for six seasons ... four as the QB-coach.

 

[20hrswk]

Right and it's said Rodgers "loved him".

Makes you think?

I try to avoid that.

Van Pelt would have a good insight on whether of not the team should make an offer for QB Joe Milton.

How would this be a Mad Science of finding a new QB ?
