Los Angeles Rams make some coaching staff changes following Zac Taylor’s departure

Since Zac Taylor is no longer part of the picture, the Los Angeles Rams had to make some moves to Sean McVay’s coaching staff.

Sean McVay has only been the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, yet the offensive mastermind is already putting together quite the impressive coaching tree in the NFL.

A few weeks after former offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur was named the new head coach of the Green Bay Packers following one year with the Tennessee Titans, the Cincinnati Bengals recently hired Zac Taylor as the team’s new head coach.

While the Rams are obviously thrilled for both individuals since earning a head coaching gig is always the top goal when it comes to the NFL for assistants, it does put the team in a tough position when they have to shuffle around for replacements.

Even more difficult for Los Angeles, since Taylor didn’t officially accept the Cincinnati job until after the Super Bowl, they were already behind when it came to finding a replacement for the former quarterbacks coach, although with McVay there really wasn’t ever a major concern.

Turns out, to help fill in the void left by Taylor, the Rams reportedly decided to go with a few different moves to McVay’s coaching staff, which will hopefully work out for the best during the 2019 season and beyond.

Just to be clear to help connect the dots, Wes Phillips is in fact the son of Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, which is awesome to see for their family, and Los Angeles as an organization in general.

As for Shane Waldron getting the promotion, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise at all after looking at the work he’s accomplished with the Rams over the last two seasons.

Knowing McVay and the Rams, there’s a good chance some of the current members of the coaching staff will be in consideration for openings beyond the 2019 season if Los Angeles continues to play at a high level in the NFC.

Watching the Rams continue to lose key members of the coaching staff seem frustrating at first for some fans, but as mentioned earlier, this also shows just how good of a thing they have going under McVay after all of those frustrating years when Jeff Fisher was around.
