Rams to hire Chase Blackburn as special teams coordinator
Link
The Rams have found a new special teams coordinator.
Los Angeles is hiring Chase Blackburn for the role, according to a report from NFL Media.
Blackburn was the Panthers’ special teams coordinator from 2018-2021 under head coaches Ron Rivera and Matt Rhule. After he was let go following the 2021 season, he spent last year as the Titans assistant special teams coach.
Entering the league as an undrafted free agent with the Giants in 2005, Blackburn appeared in 132 games with 45 starts over his career. He won two Super Bowls with the giants before finishing his playing days with the Panthers in 2013 and 2014.
He made the transition into coaching with Carolina in 2016 as an assistant special teams coach.
The Rams let go of former special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis in January. He’d been with the club since 2021.

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
