Quotemax That why, as an owner, you hire a strong GM first. They thought they did when they hired Les. Most people say it's more attractive to coaches to go to a place where they may have a say in who the GM should be, Les may be gone as soon as the new coach is hired. Let's wait and see how this plays out. I'm pretty sure they have reached out to plenty of "football peoby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax I'll simply defer to ED's exaggerated anecdotal explanation, lay out a football uniform for them and they would have no idea what goes on first. They have never played, scouted, or coached.

The Chargers will get a one year extension on their option to join the Rams in Inglewood. The Chargers will eventually come to realize moving to LA is suicide and will work out a deal to stay in San Diego... They are currently being offered a $1 per year lease for 99 years lease deal to stay in Mission Valley while they figure out a way to finance a new stadium to replace Qualcomm.

Quotemax That doesn't excuse how the Rams handled the extension. It was typical indecisive Rams BS. Actually they were talking about this the other day on NFL Insiders and they said that it was typical for a team to give a coach heading in to his last year of a contract a small extension as a show of good faith...one that is easy to get out of if things go south Sure they gave him too muby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com

Picking a coaching job: Broncos have talent, Chargers a QB ... Before we get ahead of ourselves, let me first say this: Every open job in the NFL is, by definition, a good job. There are only 32 of them in the world, and in most cases, if they were any better, they wouldn't be available in the first place. The structure of the NFL is also such that there aren't really any automatic "caby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj Demoff needs to hire Casserly or Wolf or someone to consult on the coaching search. Maybe he has. Or hire several consultants and get a range of analysis.

Quoteferragamo79 same with Gruden....don't have time to scour board.... That was with giving up 2nd round pick. I don't think it will take that...I bet if it was just a poll with getting Payton for a 3rd or 4th it would have swung the other way. A couple weeks ago there was a thread that asked who do you want as HC...Gruden was leading with10 votes , the next closest was kyle Shanby Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 I think Snead went from going a somewhat safe route in 2012 with the RG3 trade and selecting Brockers to swinging for the fences with Austin and then Robinson, Gurley and Goff. I am more of a 'safe route'/value draft person personally. I do understand the Goff move because had they not they'd be basically right where they are now anyway.

QuoteJamesJM that the movie should have been about C3PO and R2D2? :confused Not sure how you came up with that. No.. my point was.... R2D2 was the final 'handoff', if you will.

I just don't see his persona working well with this team... He seems too laid back. Don't think he'd be a big hit with the market either, unless of course he won right away, which is going to be hard for any coach to do.

QuoteJamesJM I didn't think it was a great movie... and I think they screwed up BIG TIME, (I'll get to it)... but overall I was entertained.

Made his case by saying he took over a scorched earth Falcons a few years ago and brought stability and could get some good coaches to come with him. Not the sexy pick, but could be the right guy for the job.by Rampage2K- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj Thought it was curious with McGinnis and Williams - both with extensive head coaching experience as options. The team seemed to actually get worse with Fassel. Not that I expected much from him, but for the last couple games at least, it would have been nice to see the game plan change a little. Roll Goff out / move the pocket.
