Report: Rams Ready To Part Ways With Spagnuolo, McDaniels After The Season

At 2-11 with each loss blurring together with the last one, the odds do not favor Steve Spagnuolo keeping his job as head coach of the St. Louis Rams. A report from the San Diego Union Tribune in November noted that team owner Stan Kroenke was already planning make changes at head coach and general manager. Today, Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network noted something similar, saying on the air that sources told him the Rams plan to "blow things up" after the season ends.
Whether you blame the injuries, the personnel decisions, or the weather, it's pretty tough to stand by what the Rams have done this season.
Lots more after the jump...
There's no shortage of head scratching decisions with this team. Bernie Miklasz noted this morning the coaching staff's stubborn refusal to adapt the game for Sam Bradford similar to what they did with Kellen Clemens and A.J. Feeley. Not hiring a quarterbacks coach looked like a poor decision at the time because of the lockout and a new system. The defense is playing better, after 12 games, but it's notable that last year's group of outside linebackers made for a better unit than this year's group.
Other teams have handled similar injury situations, the Seattle Seahawks for instance, with aplomb. Add in the anecdotal stuff you hear about the coaching staff - e.g. Mike Karney's interview in which he noted Spags barely talks to the players during halftime, telling considering how poorly the team plays after the half - and it's pretty tough sell to keep the coach.
Finally, whether Spagnuolo's a good guy or not, it would be pretty tough to try and sell season tickets, much less get a new stadium, by bringing the same bunch back to lead the team in 2012.
Opinions aside, this is the second high profile report claiming that the Rams will make coaching changes ahead of the 2012 season.
LaCanfora's news does conflict with a report from Adam Schefter over the weekend that the Rams would like to keep McDaniels. With the changes coming in Kansas City, there's plenty of talk that McDaniels could be brought in as the offensive coordinator, where he'd be working for Scott Pioli and with Kyle Orton and Matt Cassel.
As for Spagnuolo, he could probably have his pick of defensive coordinator jobs. Many still believe he could go back to Philly, where Andy Reid once saw him as the eventual successor to Jim Johnson.
For the Rams, it's yet another coaching change, and it's more important than ever that they get it right this time.

So I voted no
Am I crazy? For some strange reason, I just have this feeling that we should stick with him now.
No idea why.
That's exactly how I feel. I'm really going to miss his defense.
We’ve always sucked against the run. That’s nothing new, but I loved getting used to actually seeing constant pressure on opposing QBs.
Formerly JBaccSTL. Been losing sleep over Rams football since 1999.
And I agree with this.

I think this may be the right answer. I mean lack of offseason asside. The Rams dont have
the right personnel. Their tight end passing offense is weak at tight end when they have a smash it up the middle running back and smash it up the middle guards. The Rams should maybe start with a smash mouth offense and extend from there.
- And here's the Rams' 2010 season in a series. Incomplete pass, 18-yard run, incomplete pass, 7-yard run, 5-yard pass, 3-yard run, sack, incomplete pass, punt. Shoot me. - 3K
Um, cause there's tons of mitigating factors that have led to our failure this year other than the coach?
You’re a convert Eric. It’s OK.

Lets does not have a comma in the context you used the word.
And Spags lets him call the games that way. But on an offense void of protection, it wouldn’t matter who called the plays.

So
Spags should have fired McD a few weeks ago and everything would be OK ?
"For Better or for Worse; 'Till Death Do Us Part"
GO RAMS !!!
Not necessarily, but by not keeping him in check, not firing the position coaches that are clearly failing ... Spags is ultimately responsible
Some of you don’t understand the concept of responsibility and/or accountability.
I keep hearing “It’s not Spags’ fault.”
Yes it is.

You also sound blatanly condescending at every turn
And give no reasons. You say “there are multiple reasons why this team fails besides coaching”. Ok then, name them. And for God’s sake, drop it with the injuries. If McCarthy can win a SB with 15 big names on IR, Spags can win at least 4-5 games.

Condescending isn't against the rules around here.
Especially when people like you are blatantly disrespectful toward everything that has to do with Rams football…besides your Sam. So you kinda deserve it, especially from real fans who seek out real solutions to the Rams’ problems that don’t involve blowing shit up three years after we just tried that.
Haha, I guess the whole Packers team was on the IR last year….not….clown.

So you turn on the whole team?
So you can’t see any kind of silver lining? You can’t see that we have a foundation now as opposed to 2009 when Spags started? Do we have Kurt and Marshall? Holt? Bruce? Az? Problem is that you’re not even trying to find a silver lining, you just wanna start over. But we have NOT given Spags enough time to unfuck a fucked up situtaiton.
If you can’t see that, then I can’t help you dude. And instead of insulting one another, we should just live and let live.

I'm saying injuries
shouldn’t affect our team as much as they did two years ago, but we are seemingly just as bad when we’re really not. I mean, I understand being so bad RIGHT NOW with the o-linemen on IR, but there is NO excuse for the first half. We are just a godawful football team.

If we don't have enough depth to not look pathetic when the most injury plagued team last year won the super bowl
That means Spags and BD having been adding talented players (which is why they have been brought here)

Pekka, I'm intrigued - how many more seasons do you want to give Steve Spagnuolo? Or do you have faith in his talent that he'll turn things around next season?
And, say he gets a few more wins in 2012 – would you be happy with a 5-11 season, or 6-10? Legit questions fella…
"Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet - I'm gonna break your face..." The Champ
At least one more year.
Give him a shot without injuries….or at least without three quarters of the team being injured. I want to see us give him one more year. If we have a fairly healthy team and we show progress from our 7-9 season, then we should extend him. So if the offense looks like its finally starting to come around and the defense looks pretty good, then I would extend Spags. If not, then I can’t justify keeping him around any longer. But you can’t cast him off after this godawful year…..considering the injuries especially.

Great point Sam. Spags should have led this team to at least two more wins by now this season, as an absolute bare-assed minimum. Hell, if it wasn’t for a lousy FG by the Browns, we’d be 1-13.

I think it was something along the line of:
We had the ball and were tied I think and we were in FG range. Spags inexplicably goes for it on 4th the one time he shoulda taken the field goal (not knowing when to go for it and when to not). We didnt get it and then we got the ball back somehow and this time the field goal got blocked and it was from longer away than the other woulda been. Then we go to OT

by King Sam Rules! on Dec 19, 2011 5:34 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
ok
so now we can blame spags for trying to get a yard and failing since we know we the result but if he punts the ball on 4th and 1 he’s chickenshit with no balls?
I'm saying: know when to go for it
Go for it down by 7 with 2 minutes left. Not when you’re tied with a minute left in FG range

coldn’t win yesterday when he faced the adversity of a couple injured OL. The Pack didn’t have 15 “big names” on IR last year. The most important group OL was together 16 of the 20 games. How many games this year have we had the same OL? McCarthy wouldn’t have won anymore games this year than Spags. How about this give Spags Ted Thompson and see what he could do. Or perhaps give McCarthy Billy D.
We better not keep McDaniels.
I want an offensive coordinator who isn’t afraid to use his pro bowl power running back to gain 1 yard. I’ve never seen anything stupider than McDaniels’ short yardage playcalling. If he’s not gone, I’ll be pissed. He’s worse than Shurmur.

Before the public speculation that TJ is leaning towards leaving,
he was almost a lock to stay from anyone inside USC. I wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves with all the high evaluations he’s gotten from scouts, but until he says he’s leaving, I won’t but it. Of course, one scout saying he could be the best USC safety since Polamalu (possibly better) didn’t help, but I’d be happy for him either way. As for Matt, I’m sure the chances are slim after Kalil declared, but I’m holding onto any chance of him returning at this point.

I think he was going off of his physical attributes,
which makes sense as TJ’s measurables are elite. He does have the same work ethic as Troy does too. Doesn’t hurt that Tim McDonald is his father either hah.

Still, Polamalu has instincts you can't teach
He’s losin it now though cause he’s getting slower cause of injury and can’t back track to make up for when he goes to make the play and was wrong. Offenses scheme around getting Polamalu to guess and go after him when he guesses wrong

I don't think TJ will be better,
but it makes sense that some scouts feel that way. I mean, a blue collar guy with elite athleticism and talent is REALLY hard to find nowadays. Troy’s instincts are the only thing that’ll probably separate them. I remember in a playoff game between the Steelers and the Broncos (around 2006), Troy was literally everywhere and in on every play. One of the best games from a safety I’ve ever seen.

What Did You
Think about Taylor Mays as a Trojan? What dou think is holding him back as a pro?
Taylor Mays was ALLLLL athleticism and talent.
Dude was beyond elite when it came to his measurables. Problem is, he has ZERO instincts as a safety. I honestly think he would have been better suited had he been switched to ‘backer early in his career. He was a great Trojan though, no doubt. Pete knew he lacked instincts though, he kept him in center field to mask his football IQ deficiencies and had him make plays. It’s also why he knew he should have stayed for his senior year and also didn’t draft him. Sucks for him, really, but I’m rooting for him.

That's the thing
I’d still take Ray Lewis at his prime over Willis, because of Ray’s instincts and intangibles. He won a SB with Trent Dilfer (id rather have Alex Smith personally). I’ll take Troy’s body and instincts over McDonald’s body and lesser instincts

Yep, that's why Willis is the now

My problem with Spags & Devaney, not coming back for another year, is they made the Rams Old. Young guys were shipped out, so its hard to argue about development. Man you let them run things another year, and that mind set is scary. Now having said that I liked Spags, just not his vision of the Rams.
McDaniels should stay... please consider this.
Rams brothers, I am as frustrated as you are with seeing the defense play competitively but being killed by the lack of production by the offense; however, we should keep McDaniels. I know that we all want a fresh start but there is a big difference between Spags and McDaniels. Spags had no head coaching experience whereas McDaniels is a proven offensive coordinator.
Do you guys remember how sick and tired we were from the West Coast offense last year? I do not want to go back to that. Sam can perfectly fit the mold of the complex offense that McDaniels wants to implement. Sam needs to be healthy, a full off season to learn the playoff AND talent around him. Going back to the WCO is just a way of patching a wound but it doesn’t solve the problem of this team which is the lack of talent on offense.
We need to fix the OL so our WRs can run their routes and Sam has time to throw, this will also open up the running game. We need to resign Lloyd ASAP and get a #1 WR on his side. The combo Amendola, Pettis, Salas can yield benefits (we don’t need all of them though).
As I mentioned on a different post and using a basketball comparison, I wouldn’t get rid of Phil Jackson (a proven head coach) just because the team is losing, perhaps the franchise needs to provide him with talent so he can execute his plans.
Again, going back to a vanilla offense so we don’t get embarrassed every week doesn’t solve the problem. If we want to be competitive and gain some respect, we need to have a good draft and acquire proven players via FA. I don’t think McDaniels or Bradford were given the right tools to have a chance to be successful this year. Go Rams!
it wasnt the west coast
It was shurmer….the west coast is actually really explosive, ask the greenbay packers and the brett favre Minnesota Vikings
WE SUCK. THAT IS ALL.
by RAMSALLTHEWAY on Dec 19, 2011 5:13 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
You may be right...
… I was going to say that watching the WCO put by the Browns is boring but of course, Shurmur is behind that one as well…
I still think that we should give McDaniels another year. He hasn’t had a chance to prove anything given the short pre-season, the injuries, and the lack of talent…
given what I've seen our of our offense this year, I've come to appreciate Shurmur
He kept the pressure off Sam and had us scoring 20 a game purely with Amendola and SJax. He also made our O-Line look a lot better than they were.
Improved
Started the season, with the same nucleus of players, and sold us on all the upgrades.
Rams= total failure
49ers= total turn around
Seahawks= improved as the season progressed
Cards= improved as the season progressed
So we have 3 teams whose fans can be looking to the future, and one team looking for a miracle.
Funny thing is, only a few weeks ago Seattle and Arizona were looking as pitiful as us

At this point, anyones defending the current coach regime has to have rocks in their heads.
The coaching carousel is just that. Spags & company had 3 years to show some progress, any sort of progress that was better than his predessor. No one can say this team is any better off than the one Linehan left. All we, the fan have for the last 3 years are draft busts, a bunch of lost games, poor game/clock management, and a coach that consistently fails to motivate is group before and during games. Now I’m not a fan of the Mike Singletary coaching philosophy, but at the same time this isn’t a game of T-ball either. When a team comes out after halftime flatter than they did prior to it that tells me the coaches aren’t doing their jobs. I hate seeing yet another coach fired by the Rams followed by the hiring of another ‘in over his head coach’, so lets break the cycle this time Kroenke. Get someone who’s ‘been there’ and ‘done that’… coaching thingy before (Fisher, Cohwer, etc). Lets let some other team play the odds with a rookie coach.
no better off than we were with linehan?
Your being a bit harsh aren’t you under spags we now have a pro bowl DE a pro bowl MLB a franchise quarterback two LEGIT safeties and a defense that isnt fucking embarassing god you people who want spags fired really dont understand what the man has done.
Who cares? How many wins do we have?
Thats all that matters. Are the Rams any better off??? Thats my original question?
Hibachi, we weren't playing that well before the injuries further cursed our season...
And besides – I’d happily give Spagnuolo some support IF there were signs of progress, or fight in the team every week, regardless of who’s out due to injury. But you cannot tell me that this team are fighting for a win like the Colts, or the Chiefs, or even the rest of the teams in our division…
"Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet - I'm gonna break your face..." The Champ
here goes that bullshit again
does someone actually have an account of a player on the st louis rams not playing with effort? Because all i see is our defense balling every week regardless of how many yards people put up on us. In EVERY rams game this year our defense has stayed in attack mode our linebackers fill gaps hard our safeties are making tackles in the backfield and our corners, as bad as they are try their best to cover these corners so who is it that i magically dont see every week who is giving no effort?
It takes more than playing effort by players.
It takes a coach to kick em in the ass when they need it. Good clock management, knowing when to take a gamble when the games on the line. Knowing how to get the team motivated coming out of halftime like they were prior to the game starting. Spags is not the answer. This team will never be better than 7-9 with him.
It ain't bullshit son - I'm expressing what I see, just like you're expressing what you see
If you believe this team was playing “all out”, even before the injuries, then why the fuck were we being blown out in practically every game? Or is everything down to McDaniels? You probably praise Spagnuolo for the D, and yet I bet you’re one of those guys who blames all our woes on offense on McD…
"Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet - I'm gonna break your face..." The Champ
BTW... that was 4 players out of what... 22 starters???
Not to mention the 53-man roster. If this were the NBA you’d be okay with 4, but it ain’t. 4 starters don’t cut it after 3 years of coach and GM work. San Fran turned it around in 1 year with the same personnel, so don’t give me that BS about the team not having any talent. Laurent Robinson is playing his ass off in Dallas. Why didn’t they get that effor out of him here???

Okay trade Bradford, Jackson, and Lloyd.
They deserve much better than the St Louis black hole of voodo. Where wide recievers and Corner Backs go to get rehab for bad knees. It’s going to take 3-5 years for this team to turn around if ever.
Spags
may not be god’s gift to coaching. What makes a coach a SB caliber coach? Again no f’ing coach in this league could win with this roster. I have NEVER seen a coach win with lack of talent. There is a reason teams in the Sb typically have a shit ton of guys in the probowl. They have talent. Bring in who you’d like I just want to knwo what the excuse will be for the next guy who falls on his face? How many HC in the league have SB titles? How many of those guys inherited good teams like Tomlin or McCarthy. Other than Belichek who has brought a team from ground level to winning an SB? Be real as this team sits right now no coach could get much more out of it. PERIOD
And Spags
Plays a large role in leaving the Rams devoid of talent.
The Rams were better in 2010. But over the off-season they regressed. They didn’t add anyone of value to the team except Quinn, who they are finally letting play. He basically twiddled his thumbs for half a year.
O yeah
there was so much talent before he got here. The GM is largely responsible for talent. Everyone says you can’t blame injuries. Well I say you can. We are the only team in the NFL that has not had at least one olineman start at the same position all year. The only OL to start evey game is Dahl and he has split time between G and T. There is not a more important group than the OL. I think now we all know maybe Danny was a more important to this team than saying we drafted his replacement. and 7 DBs come on now. Keep in mind we were picked to win the west with the roster we started with. Roll back the start of the season and we would be projected to finish exactly where we will with this type of roster. Sure I agree the 2010 were better but they were also largely healthy!
Spags!!! Spags has No BALLS!!!!!

Rumors
I am sick of the rumors.Why don’t we wait until the season is over and stop with the speculation.This is so ridiculous!!!!
I voted No because...
I know other teams have suffered injuries and had shortened offseasons and new systems and all that jazz but I’d like to see what Spags and McD can do with a fully fit roster, another draft and a full offseason to prepare.
On offense I the team would benefit from some continuity. And Sam will have a chance to work with McD on the playbook. I believe the Rams have to hire a QB coach though. Not only for Sam’s benefit, but also to allow McD the time he needs to work with the rest of the offense
On defense, i like the pressure being generated up front and the secondary have played pretty well considering. Mikell, Stweart and Gordy have been a pleasant surprise and if Bartell and Fletcher come back fit and well then the secondary could be very good. The run defense is where work is needed. I know Spag’s system doesn’t place great value on OLB but the Rams need to find someone who can play contain stop the run getting to the outside
I could be horribly wrong and it all blow up in my face but all in all i say give Spags and McD one more year to turn it around
I voted yes
I’ve been calling for his dismissal since Week 5. But….if the Rams fire Devaney first, I will welcome Spagnuolo back with open arms.
