Ironic, don't you think? In the end I guess Rosenbloom felt Allen would be the difference against Dallas. I appreciated everybody on this thread because I always wondered why the Rams hired Allen and thought the runner up was always Bill Walsh, well, it wasn't, it was Dan Reeves. So the reason the thread was started and I believed too that the Rams were so close to Walsh in 78 and originally he was at the top of the list, but was not in the end.
Seems that Dan Reeves would have been the choice if CR didn't decide on Allen and now I understand to a degree why, but if the goal was to open up the offense amazing that CR ended with George Allen and then decided he made a huge mistake and pivoted to Ray Malavasi.
