1. Hiring Vermeil - Washed up old emotional coach past his prime.
2. Trading for Marshall Faulk - Underappreciated in Indy, became a legend in St Louis.
3. Signing a HiVee stock boy to back up Trent Green. As a Bison fan, I am anti-Northern Iowa, but I'll make an exception for Warner.
4. Trading for Matt Stafford. Enough said.
5. Hiring a OC that was 30 years old to be the head coach of a new LA Rams team. LARAM told me after I mentioned his name as a possible HC candidate that he was too young...worked out ok
6. Hiring Mike Martz as OC. Against Vermeils wishes.
7. Drafting AD after drafting Greg Robinson. Too Small, too light. Too DAMN DOMINATE.
8. Taking some WR out of Eastern Washington and that red ugly field, he's too slow. He cant possibly ever be a SB MVP
9. Drafting a RB from SMU in the 1983 draft, becoming the first in a long line of great Rams RBs
10. Drafting a DE in the 14th round of the 1961 draft, who is maybe the greatest DE to ever lace them up, and being discovered mostly by accident.
but in no order, but they were big in terms of success but not in terms of ultimate success
hiring George Allen, turned team around. Chuck Knox, too.
the 1951 Championship--nto sure what was key thing there, maybe drafting Van Brocklin as a junior.
The 45 championship, drafting Waterfield.
Off-field, maybe the move to LA in 46...
oldies but goodies.
