LA Rams OC search focusing upon aerial assault
By Bret Stuter
The LA Rams are not even a week past winning Super Bowl LVI, and already the search is on to fill a new wave of openings on the coaching staff. For now, we will focus upon the LA Rams search for a new offensive coordinator. But we will most certainly have more openings to fill, and more conversations to hold on the topic of new coaches.
But let’s pause the ‘Run it back’ pattern for just a minute, and take a quick glance at the LA Rams search for a new offensive coordinator. Curiously, the Rams search for a new offensive coordinator has not swept the NFL for veteran offensive talent. Rather, the first two names cited include former Rams quarterback coach and now University of Kentucky offensive coordinator, Liam Coen.
Okay, so there is the LA Rams’ current running back coach Thomas Brown who is considered in the mix. Now we have former Rams QB coach Liam Coen. And there is also a mention of the Raiders’ former offensive coordinator Greg Olson.
The search continues
But it does not stop there. Now a new name has been dropped into the hat.
So we have a pretty wide range of potential candidates, some of whom are the hottest names in football on the offensive side of the ball. Greg Olson, Liam Coen, Thomas Brown, and now Cortez Hankton. Will more names be added to the list? Do any of these names excite you?
The Rams have an opportunity to leverage the skillset hired in their offensive coordinator with the direction the team hopes to take the offense in 2022. What direction might that be? Well, that would make a great future topic, now wouldn’t it?
