Another Rams Post

The Rams offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur, is moving on to another job. While he was probably the right person at the right time for the team, I personally didn’t think he’d continue to improve them. The running game underperformed this year, and coaching seemed to be a major part of the problem. I was actually pleased to learn of his departure.

The leading candidate to replace Shurmur is Josh McDaniels, recently fired for running off several marque players in Denver and for being caught cheating (again).

Before being a head coach, McDaniels was a successful and innovative coach for the Patriots.

As long as he has no personnel decision-making authority and the job is limited to the offensive coordinator role, the hiring of Josh McDaniels would be an upgrade for the Rams.
