Owner told him before the season if he didn't make the playoffs he was out. I thought Pegula made a terrible choice when he hired him so quickly after the Jets fired him, but I give Pegula some credit for not prolonging the inevitable like the Rams did with Fisher. 2 years and OUT!

Quoteoldschoolramfan Just surfing the net and there is word out that Snead could be following Fisher out the door. Demoff brought Snead in and still really likes him. Maybe he feels that Snead was never able to perform his role because of Fisher`s control and feels he could be a very good GM in this league? Demoff is in no rush looking to get rid of Snead and his fate with the Rams will moby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotelaram QuotePaulButcher59 NM How could that be when Stan himself had a second interview alone with Fisher to get him to take the job? Stan made the deal...not Demoff. C'mon man, you're just arguing to be arguing now. You're just wrong on this.

QuotePHDram is having an inside track to one of the top head coaching candidates a bad thing? Potentially more bad than good IMO. Could give the agent and his client the upper hand. Kroenke should be doing the negotiating if he isn't going to hire a football exec to do it for him. It should be the young inexperienced Kyle Shanahan has the opportunity of a lifetime to become an NFL head coacby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotelaram QuoteMy guess is that its already a done deal. Kyle Shanahan will be the Rams next head coach, Les Snead will remain the Rams GM, and Stan Kroenke will continue to allow Kevin Demoff to be involved in areas he shouldn't be involved in.

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Didn't we just go down this road the last five years? Grits In no way, shape or form should Kevin Demoff once again be involved in the hiring of a new head coach that is being represented by his dad. No way! Really, he shouldn't be involved in hiring any head coach to begin with, regardless of their agent.

Quotelaram So the Titans won more games than the Rams, are sending 5 players to the pro bowl, and as of today would get the Rams #5 pick in the draft!

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I have to feel that there is something about the Rams structure as an organization these don't like. Grits Demoff and Kroenke weren't foolish enough to give him full control over personnel moves. They won`t have to if they don't want to.

Quotebigjimram21 No one knows if DeMoff is getting outside counsel on the hiring of a head coach. It's not like they are telling the public anything at this stage of the process.

He is the first one that needs to be re-assigned, yet he is still one of the main guys leading the Rams new head coach search. Kroenke needs to hire a Ron Wolf type guy first and then everything will fall into place from there. It all starts up top. It still appears that they are doing things backwards. Seeing is believing.
