Nick Caserio declined to interview with 49ers Posted by Mike Florio on January 7, 2017, 7:43 PM EST As the 49ers continue to search for a new General Manager, they’ll have one less option available to them. Per multiple sources, Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio ultimately declined an opportunity to interview for the job. Caserio inherited the top personnel job in New

Deja Vu - 6 years ago

Back in 2012 when the Rams brass was searching for a new HC and a new GM, here's what they said they were looking for at that time. This is from a Jan 2, 2012 article "St. Louis Rams COO Kevin Demoff Denies Peter King Report About Jeff Fisher" in SBNation: Leadership and accountability will be a key part of the Rams next hires. Demoff described the need for an "adaptable and sm

Is Kyle Shanahan more interested in coaching Denver than the Rams job? By: Bryan Kalbrosky | 2 hours ago Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is a favorite for the Los Angeles Rams gig but may have more interest in Denver Broncos. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Rams are not the job that Shanahan is focusing on right now (via NFL.com): “The word with p

Re: Thats the most reasonable optimistic argument... - 6 years ago

Quotemax Except these guys have shown that they make bad decisions with personnel. It wasn't just Fisher who gave Tavon a ton of money and let JJ and McCloud walk. And it wasn't just Fisher who decided to give up the farm for Goff. Snead and Demoff were all in on those dumb decisions. Those are good points, but I was only addressing the Fisher hire. Just that.

Re: Demoff is not a flunky... - 6 years ago

Here's a thought.... Fisher was hired by Kroenke, knowing that his record was mediocre, but since the goal was to move the Rams to L.A. from the beginning, it was the perfect hire. Sure, the rhetoric spewed at the time was to provide fans with a winning product but that wasn't really what they wanted or needed .... at that time. Demoff and Kroenke knew that, but the fans didn't. The hiring of

Tony Pastoors' Bio - 6 years ago

Here's his bio from the Rams Media Guide. Looks like he's Demoff's "right hand man": Tony Pastoors enters his sixth season with the Rams as senior assistant. He joined the Rams prior to the 2010 season. In this role, Pastoors works directly with Executive Vice President of Football Operations & Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff on all aspects of Rams Business and Football

Re: Question to the Herd....Which direction do you want to go? - 6 years ago

Having experience as a HC is not always an indicator that he'll be successful (see Jeff Fisher). The same can be said of the hot-shot coordinator (see Steve Spagnuolo a few years back) So I can't say one or the other is THE answer. What I'd want is a coach : who knows how to lead men who knows how to get the best out of his players who doesn't lower performance standards just because the

Rams 2016 Season Prediction Winner Is..... - 6 years ago

In early September, there was a thread on The Herd asking folks to predict the Rams record for the season. Well, it wasn't me. I predicted 6-10. Out of all the predictions made, there was only ONE Herdster who predicted 4-12 back then and got it right. Know who it is? Drumroll......... DROOPY!!!

And a lot of the locals here said "not so fast", but no one in L.A. would listen. Well.... it is what it is. And I think it's gonna be that way for a while. Brace yourselves.

Re: John Shaw - 6 years ago

Below is the first paragraph in a lengthy ESPN article describing the battle to bring football to Los Angeles. The article was published in Feb. 2016. Now... if John Shaw left the Rams in 2010, why would a 2016 article state that he still works in an L.A. office "as if they never left"? I think there's definitely something to the idea that John Shaw still "advises" Kroenke

Re: They're right - 6 years ago

QuoteRamUK Remember he's just using stats from 2007 when Bulger and the Rams were in decline. That can't be right, RamUK. If he's just using stats from 2007... then he'd be saying the Rams played 35 games??? Wait. I get it. What he should have done was give the range... i.e., 2007-2009 or whatever or perhaps "since 2007" to be more clear.

Yup, I was right. Found a link to the story about the arguments on the sideline and the team quitting on Linehan... or at least rumors that the team had quit on him.

Re: I don't!.... - 6 years ago

I seem to recall a game where Holt got into it with Linehan on the sidelines and Bulger was seen rolling his eyes at Linehan. A big deal was made about it at the time followed by talk that the team had quitt on him. Ring any bells?

Re: HEY, I've seen one of those.... - 6 years ago

There ARE large bags... but it depends on your definition of "Big, giant". I saw a demonstration this morning or maybe it was yesterday on Good Morning America where they wrapped a gift using a blanket and it did not have perfect corners, ribbons, etc. See... it doesn't have to be perfect. But, if it's unique/clever... that helps.
