Los Angeles Rams thread

Take Les Snead and Kevin Demoff with him, and totally rebuild the decision making.

Fisher is ultra conservative.

Snead was an idiot for trading all of those draft picks, and drafting Robinson 2nd overall, Austin 11th overall, etc.

Demoff is a bean counter who knows nothing about football.

Thank you Kroenke for righting a wrong with the move to L.A.   Now stop short changing the franchise's talent, scouting, and coaching.

So the Rams gave Fisher a two year extension around two weeks ago and then turn around and fire him? When they left for St Louis I told myself I would never route for them again. They are a mess.

The extension was signed in the summer but just announced fwiw 

[Lhalo]

Why fire him before the Thursday game when there are only four days to prepare for it? If they would have waited until after they would have 10 days to get their shit together before facing the next opponent. This org is dumber than the Angels.

generally agree with this. i've felt all along that we'd simply have to endure whatever this season was going to be like because they haven't been a very good team for awhile, and i'm okay with that. i think firing fisher was the right move to make. now they need to bring in someone who has the patience and the temperament to do a rebuild. they also need to draft well, and with how this season has gone they should have a high pick in the first round (unless that was traded away in the goff deal).

my hope is that by the time they move into the new stadium they'll be a team that can contend every week and be a playoff team.

If I'm the Rams my short list would be 

Josh McDaniels

Jim Harbaugh 

Jon Gruden

goff needs lots of help. Any of these 3 would do wonders for his career

i also have to say that is this Rams gig attractive though? No o line, no WR, defense is ok?, oh yeah ..zero draft picks to build a team with.

Thankfully we have that whole sunshine, nice weather thing going on.

Stupid Idiot Snead included the upcoming 1st round pick (currently the 7th overall) in the Goff trade.

Titans made out like bandits!   Net result, iirc, is Goff and the Titans' 4th/5th round picks in 2016 for the Rams' 1st round picks in 2016/2017, two 2nd round picks in 2016, and the 3rd round picks in 2016/2017.

At this point does it really matter?  They just got their shit stomped in at home by the Falcons who were playing without their #1 and 2 WR's.  The Rams had a week to prepare and looked like a peewee football team compared to Atlanta.

Quite honestly they could have fired Fischer and his staff during the National Anthem Thursday night and it would have no effect on the outcome of the game. They are not prepared to play every week.

LOOK: The Rams are already drawing really small crowds in Los Angeles

 

 

 

Just imagine what a Chargers game is going to look like in LA.

hmmmm, looks suspicious.

the stadium is a college stadium and is the largest stadium in the nfl this season (capacity wise and is on the cusp of the top 10 for the entire world). even then the pics don't look like jacksonville or some of the other shit i've seen this year. for instance, take a look this weekend when oak goes to sd.

granted, who the fuck wants to pay x amount (highest sports venue tix in america) to watch the rams lose?

[Angel Oracle]

LOL at Rodger Saffold being sad over Fisher's dismissal

Hey Saffold, your sucky blocking, and especially Robinson's, helped to get him dismissed. 

[nando714]

Bottom line is that Kroenke and his wife the freakin heiress to walmart need to crack open the checkbook for a huge hire here

i read a interesting name and a guy who was around the Rams about 2 weeks ago ...David Shaw..if I was a Rams fan I'd be pissed if they hired him but I'm not so have at it

kroenke needs to give full control and pay top dollar to a big name coach like Jim or john Harbaugh or even Pete Carroll...Ram fan should expect nothing less

[RallyMo]

Hell no to Shaw. He's Fisher redux.

Go after Harbaugh or Carroll.

[Tank]

i wouldn't mind having carroll here at all.

jim harbuagh is a giant douche. no thanks.

Yes I agree but...

the guy has won everywhere he's been. Usd, Stanford was absolutely dreadful before he got there, was a play away from a super ring with the niners (look at the current state without Harbaugh in 2 seasons), in 2 years Michigan is back to be a power house.

he produces and yes he bunts heads with people and will probably wear out his welcome, but he wins...

[Angel Oracle]

I'd give Harbaugh the job, except that he is probably getting the moon payroll wise at his alma mater.   Drawing over 110k to every home game has a way of lining a college coach's pocketbook.

It'd cost mucho draft picks and mucho money to get Carroll in here.

Regarding Saban, see Harbaugh but with 20k less for each home game.

Shaw is very unimaginative, and as said previously, Fisher Part Deux.

Josh McDaniels could be an intriguing guy.   Sounds like he learned from his first go around as Broncos coach, and is anything but boring offensively.

my concern is when he leaves, which seems to happen after only a short period of time. he wins, yes, but he also doesn't leave his teams in very good shape once he bails.

[arch stanton]

Broncos fan chiming in here. If you think Harbaugh is a douche, by all means hire McDaniels

interesting since he's only coached one pro team and the others in college still did well after he left.

not to mention, once you're fired as a nfl coach it's generally because the team is playing poorly....the fact they continued to suck after he left isn't exactly a startling revelation. 

[Angel Oracle]

And the Rams offense again looked like they practiced in a dark room.

Clean house of ALL coaches, Snead, and Demoff!!!!

[Angel Oracle]

And even more pathetic, only one game in the past three produced those free burgers.    And that was Atlanta feeling sorry for the Rams after taking a 42-0 lead.

Again, penalties, penalties, penalties!

Hey Greg Robinson, are you even paying attention to the game???????????????

Drafting Robinson 2nd overall AND trading six good draft picks for Goff, two reasons alone that Les Snead needs to go!

[Jay]

What a clusterfuck...

I still can't believe they decided to build a new stadium in Inglewood.

 

[nando714]

If the Rams or Sean Payton wants to come out west they would have to make a trade, right ?

the Rams have very little draft picks?
