Got to take everything Lombardi says with a grain of salt, especially when it come to the Rams.
He was on Rich Eisen before the start of the 2017 season and just went off on the Rams. I mean he was brutal, just mocking them for hiring such a young H.C. and saying Goff was never going to be a NFL QB. Well the Rams went 11-5 and Goff when to the pro bowl.
Made Lombardi look really, really bad. Effected the number of appearances he had on TV in 2018.
So now that the Rams are struggling he is relishing in it. The guy if full of more hot air then just about any taking head out there. He can't go five minutes into a interview without bringing up he was part of the Patriots organization (for 2 years) and talking about Bill Belichick. His greatest claim to fame was being the Browns GM for one year before they fired him.
