Panthers Hire Ron Milus

by Jaxon on Feb 10, 2009 9:59 PM CST

Jaxon here with Cat Scratch Reader. Does anyone have any incite for my readers on Milus? Milus was your DB coach the last three seasons and takes over the same position for us. Feel free to give the good and the bad, we can take it. Since the Rams secondary wasn't exactly known as a dominant group last season (no offense meant) we are not expecting glowing reports but would still appreciate anything you might have to offer, either in this post or this one on my site.

Thanks!

NOOOOOO!

Ron Milus was the key to the Rams defense. He worked under Larry Marmie in Arizona (if anyone does not remember, Marmie is the “best.”) Without Milus, I might have to drop my prediction for the number of Rams wins down to 15 (and that could go even lower depending on whether or not Claude Wroten gets suspended again.)

October 26; the countdown has begun.

So you are joking?

I wasn’t expecting much feedback since I honestly had little info on the guy he replaced but thought it was worth a try.

Ron Bartell

really improved under Milus, but Tye Hill really regressed. there’s been so much turmoil in the Rams coaching ranks lately it’s just too hard to tell

Honestly...

It is just hard to evaluate coaches, period, much less positional coaches. Unless someone is REALLY bad, it can be very difficult to discern how much is the coach’s responsibility for a players improvement/decline and how much is on the player. Perhaps, Tye Hill was just a bad draft pick and no matter who coached him, he was destined to be nothing more than a nickelback. Perhaps the Rams knew what they were doing when they drafted Bartell out of Howard and he finally just became the player the Rams always thought that he would. I think it is next to impossible to rate positional coaches based on the information that we, as common fans, get. Even if we were at practice everyday, it might still be hard.

Concur

Unless you are at the practices all we have to go on is what comes out in the media. And if it comes out in the media via a player interview it is usually never good. The media types that actually get in the locker room are always mum for fear of being banned if they expose what goes on or what is said.
