After Ra’Shaad Samples left his role as the Rams’ running backs coach, Los Angeles planned to move Thomas Brown back into that role. However, he was hired as the Panthers’ offensive coordinator, leaving the Rams without a running backs coach at the moment.
According to Chip Brown of 247Sports (subscription required), the Rams wanted to hire Texas RBs coach Tashard Choice but he turned down the job to coach their running backs. Aaron Wilson also reported he drew serious interest from the Rams but has decided to return to the Longhorns.
Per the report from 247Sports, Choice will receive a raise from the Longhorns after turning down the Rams.
The Rams are still filling out their coaching staff after making several changes, and they’ve begun bringing in some new faces – including OC Mike LaFleur, TEs coach Nick Caley and OL coach Ryan Wendell.
They still need a running backs coach, however, and that should be a role they look to fill soon.
