Quotewaterfield Either they have a genuine gm or they don't. Apparently Snead is not and neither is demoff. Having the coach select the gm means the gm reports to the coach not the other way around. Of course there can be exceptions but imo any organization works best when the power flows downstream. Whether we Agee with it or not the real general manager of the rams is their chief operating offby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
His name just doesn't seem to be mentioned in any of these teams coaching searches and considering what he's doing in Pittsburgh with that offense and his experience it's kinda weird. I've heard things about him being a bit of a hot head and having some fall outs with other teams, wondering if that's what's keeping his name out of teams interview list???by Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHeadslap75 I haven't ....but would you expect anything other than standard, "We were really impressed with both candidates ..yada yada yada.

He's been playing the back nine for a couple years now....not a very profound statement by any means. Hope we can get 15 years out of the kid just drafted....:goodluckby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
They're my Super Bowl pick. Win or lose this week though, the Rams will get their interview and hopefully hire this guy. I can wait a few weeks for our new HC gets experience on how to win the Super Bowl:beercanby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
If it were me, I would just call three guys- Harbaugh, Gruden and Kyle Shanahan....unfortunately two of those names won't even answer the phone. But I have no problem with the Rams talking to many candidates..... They know first hand how locking in on one coach can backfire. I don't get the hand wringing over the multiple interviews....what if their top three targets go elsewhere??? Wouby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj They way Austin's defense got run over by the Seahawks, and really weren't good against the run down the stretch of the regular season - what's the appeal? Holmgren on the radio broadcast even brought up all the missed gap assignments and how it seemed like guys were 'freelancing' on defense.

QuoteLARams17 Vance Joseph is supposedly very high on Elway's list ... now that Miami has been eliminated let's see if Vance is brought in and hired quickly. If not ... we can probably infer that Shanny is their guy. Anybody who wants to hire Shanny has to wait until they're eliminated. He's on his way to Denver now to interview......hopefully reports are true and he is hired on the spot.by Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin But nothing has been reported re: the Rams and him. Would not surprise me to find out that McDaniels is their guy, Vrabel is a DC interview, and that Caserio might swoop in later with the GM position. And I'd be ok with that end result too. Not my top choice but we'd get a guy in here who can get all the youth on the offensive side of the ball clicking, which is crucial for the rby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit The attention given to this is so stupid. People are lame brains. Had ODB & Co. spent the day in the woods hunting deer, I doubt most people would even blink.

QuoteBlue and Gold just because game is close does not always mean good football. But, to each his own Not one of those games had any excitement in the fourth qtr.... they were all over by end of third or early fourth.

QuoteRFIP Quotelaram Nm You have to call a spade a spade, Eli had a bad year. Just too much talent on this team and he missed a LOT of throws all year long. He had so many drops this game... especially early. TD drops!!! I'm not putting blame anywhere near Eli in this one.

QuoteEastRam It's both. Don't get me wrong a good coach is a great thing to have. But if a good coach has crap to work with he won't look like a good coach..see the example I spoke of. Giants spent a ton of money on defense this year and you can see the difference from this year to last year with the same coach.by Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam If the Rams actually do have their eye on 1 or 2 guys, then they sure aren't going about it very well. Demoff says that they are going to cast a wide net, and they certainly seem to be doing that. That says to me that they do NOT have a guy targeted. If they really were frothing at the mouth over Shanahan, he would have been their first interview. Their last hire, they hadby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com

Rattling off all those horrible picks just makes Snead look like a pretty decent GM. Snead has been around this league for quite some time and learned under some of the best in the biz. I wouldn't be upset if he was replaced, but I can't remember the last time a GM was part of drafting back to back RoY's either.....by Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesocalmab Absolutely love all the people criticizing the Rams for weather!! Rams should have known better, planned better. If you knew it was going to snow why did,'t you fly in early??

Like I said, it could just be how the schedule worked out...we don't know the particulars. People just seem to be making waaaaay more out of this then what it is...

Quote9er8er I get it. The comparison between Goff and Ryan coming into the NFL beings and ends with their "measurables."
