Hadn't been aware of this until recently ... but the Rams actually had Coryell in Los Angeles for a look-see in January 1978. Found a picture of Coryell and Don Klostermann together driving someplace.
The great what-if for most long-time Rams' fans is Walsh. But a second has to be the Coryell thing. What if Coryell had been hired and opened up the Rams' offense in Los Angeles the way he did in San Diego? I guess the big difference ... one of the big differences, anyway ... was that the big building block Coryell had with the Chargers was Dan Fouts. Hard to image Coryell being able to do the things in Los Angeles, with Pat Haden, that he ended up doing in San Diego with Fouts.
Not to mention the fact the Rams' staring wideouts in that era were Willie Miller and Ron Jessie.
