Do the Rams show interest? I`m confident the Rams will sign an offensive minded head coach. Bill O`Brien is an experienced offensive minded head coach. 5 years in New England coaching the offensive side of the ball. 5 years head coaching experience (3 NFL, 2 FBS) Personally, I`m not a big fan and would rather go with the younger Shanahan.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield IMO this is a huge issue and will be so as long as he is in charge. IMO the gm has to be a solid football person who the hc reports to and not the other way around.

The gm needs to be totally involved in football decisions including hiring coaches and acqiring players. That is how Iby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotedzrams Well from a pragmatic standpoint, the new MIKE would have to be very inexpensive. There is $17-18M tied up in AO and Barron.

QuotePHDram lets not forget that fisher was THE MOST coveted coach at that time. Few people (if any) called it a bad hire. And lets not forget where the Rams were before they hired Fisher. 2-14 in 2011, just before Fisher came. Any head coach they hired at the time would have been an upgrade from what they had.

QuoteLMU93 He's very well-respected by the Patriots and Belichick. Very smart guy. My only thing with him is he's never fielded a true top tier defense.
