Quotewaterfield I believe appointing Fassel interim coach speaks to me what they think of Williams ! I thought they wanted to keep the OC and DC in place to minimize disruption, and best prepare for the upcoming game(s). I think moving Williams from DC to HC would be more disruptive to the team than firing Fisher in the first place. Fassel is ST coach.

I still think that does not mean he is going to go on a crazy spending jag. That is all I have been saying. He isn't going to go pry away someone like Harbaugh with a zillion dollars. I think we are actually in a pretty good place with Stan. I think he knows he has to win with the Rams. You can't have the team in that setting be an inept team.

It's funny, when I was posting that Kronke was going to move, that the St. Louis stadium was doomed, that there was no way the NFL was going with a stadium in Carson when Kroenke was building an NFL Resort complex, all the posters wondered why I love Stan so much. Now I hate him, I guess. I have trouble keeping track of my feelings. I don't care about Stan, either. I was a Rams' fan when Dan Rby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
He is building a brand. That's why the Rams are playing in England. And winning helps the brand, but it's not more important than the increase in his wealth and prestige. But all people are hearing is that I don't have a torch ready to storm Fisher Castle. Whatever. People really seem to be projecting onto Kroenke what they want, and they got Fisher fired, so why stop projecting now.by Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Stan Kroenke: I didn't buy Arsenal stake to win trophies JAMES BENGE Sunday 13 March 2016 10:47 BST Stan Kroenke has warned Arsenal fans that he doubts they will be able to compete with rival clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester City in terms of expenditure, claiming: “If you want to win Championships then you would never get involved.” The American majority shareholder, who also ownby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker He knows he has to win more than he loses to gain all the revenue possible. I don't think anyone thinks otherwise. But he's not been in the habit of overspending to do it.

QuoteRFL My old friend, I wonder where this idea comes from. You don't become a multi-billionaire in real estate by keeping overhead low.

Okay, well, now we are into the mind-reading portion of the debate, and that's where I bow out. I can just say that there is no instance of Kroenke ever lavishing out money on his front office, and his general philosophy has been to employ young up-and-comers in management rather than hiring tried-and-true (expensive) people. His opening up his wallet for Boudreau, Williams, etc. is out of chaby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteBlue and Gold because the owner has bottomless pockets, First of all, there is a salary cap. Secondly, Kroenke doesn't open up his bottomless pockets to other people to access.
