Los Angeles Rams: the right head coach can put out this grease fire
The Los Angeles Rams are one of two NFL franchises in need of a new head coach for 2017. Los Angeles fired Jeff Fisher a week before the Jaguars brass finally caved and sent Gus Bradley packing.
The Los Angeles job will be a very attractive one for high-end candidates. Owner Stan Kroenke had been patient with Fisher, despite a string of 7-9 finishes, and whoever takes over the Rams will do so with the assurance he’ll have multiple years to right this ship.
Fisher built a great defense and special teams unit with this team, but his offense remained archaic in the modern pass-first era of the NFL. Expect Los Angeles to hire an offensive-minded coach, but one with an appreciation for all three phases of the game.
In all likelihood, Los Angeles needs a disciplinarian at head coach to keep his new football team focused amidst all the distractions associated with Southern California. If the Rams can get to the mid-20s in the league in offense next year, this defense and special teams unit could have Los Angeles as an outside contender to win playoff games and get to Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis.
