Rams Search For Coach, General Manager Underway; Marshall Faulk, Dick Vermeil Will Assist
by Ryan Van Bibber on Jan 2, 2012 4:28 PM CST
in St. Louis Rams Hire Jeff Fisher
Email
PrintSt. Louis Rams COO and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Kevin Demoff just wrapped up a Monday afternoon press conference discussing the next steps following the firings of Steve Spagnuolo and Billy Devaney. As expected, Demoff fielded a number of questions concerning the replacements for those two, contradicting a number of items from the rumor mill.
Demoff denied a report from Peter King that the Rams already have a mid-week interview scheduled with Jeff Fisher. He said that the Rams have not yet spoken with any potential candidates for either position. Demoff laughed off the suggestion from the rumor mill that Fisher was a fit for the Rams job because he's represented by Marvin Demoff, Kevin's father.
"We're going to find the right fit for the Rams," Demoff said.
Nevertheless, he did not rule out Fisher as a candidate, or any other potential candidate for the job. Demoff stressed that the main goal was finding the right fit for the organization. He added that the right candidates would be "adaptable, smart football people" for both the coach and GM positions. There is also no formula as far as the order in which they hire a head coach and general manager; any suggestions otherwise are mere speculation.
The search process gears up in full force this week. While the Rams do not currently have any interviews lined up, they will begin that process within the next 48 hours.
Owner Stan Kroenke will be heavily involved in the hiring process. He'll get some help from a pair of Rams legends, Super Bowl-winning head coach Dick Vermeil and Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk. Those two will be part of a team of consultants involved in the search process.
"We're serious about getting this right," Demoff said of the changes taking place at Rams Park. "We're serious about building a winning tradition in St. Louis."

I don't think the fans would agree, but Martz was a decent coach
and he should get a second chance somewhere. However, I think Fisher is the top choice, but he goes to the Colts. Who will they interview for the Rooney rule?
Idk, I think that's why we are trying to act like Fish isn't already packing his bags in a way, cause I think he ends up here, not dealing wit the Peyton Luck disaster
Guess the Giants DC, the one every one talks to for the RR. Maybe Mel Tucker or Raheem Morris, who I’d look at as DC’s, with Mel Tucker as my top choice at DC

Why not Faulk?

I get mad at Faulk many times because he seems to try and distance himself from the franchise
but he is probably a great choice to be involved
Doesn't seem to be trying to distance himself now if he's willing to help this team like this.

Fauld said we'd go 10-6 this year..
and very much sounded like a koolaid drinker..much to my delight :)
He doesn't seem to distance himself from the Rams as much as Warner seems to do Brick

Warner may come around later, but Martz and by extension the Rams really screwed Warner royally.
We know now from that NFL Network show that Vermiel made martz take warner as the backup because he just had a feeling about him. Martz rode his ass but I think never liked warner. So when warner had that complicated thumb injury it was all martz needed to bench him for Bulger and not look back.
So I can see why he would like the Cardinals more than the Rams. Wisenhunt sat their franchise quarterback to give Warner his chance and stood behind him every step of the way.
- 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
Because Faulk is one
of the best football minds.

Fuck I don't know.
Bruce is too busy preaching and Kurt needs to get his golf game going.

Maybe they got other shit going on..
Why not Holt? Why not Andy Mccolum? Geeze they don’t come in a package deal.
Well gee
It’s not like the Rams (and their fans) deemed they were completely worthless as football players anymore and ran them out of town or anything.
Why would Warner or Holt (Or Bruce) want to come back to a team that showed no loyalty to them?
Faulk is smarter IMO
Peyton will admit that Faulk is a huge reason for his success as a young qb cause it was like having a coach next to him at all times. I’m not saying he gets hired (nor do I really want him to be except maybe as Rb coach), but he’s clearly the most intelligent Ram great.

whats the issue here? seriously?
Faulk has an amazing grasp of every offensive position and how defenses work.
He also serves as a link to the past.
And if you don’t think Marshall was one of the leaders on that team your delusional.

Devanny hired guys of that caliber too and everyone wanted him gone
he never built a good offensive line and the defense is always one of the worst in the league
Devaney did not find guys of that level
Reggie over his career runs circles around all our recievers combined. Dwight and Mathis are all around DE’s, Long and Quinn both struggle in run defense

There DT's suck
But all the advanced stats will tell you how much better in run defense their ends are then the Rams. And let’s see JL do it a little while longer before we call him any where near as good as Reggie

Who got Manning?
The team was built around Manning though but I blame the coaching for that more. They had no good QB to take over if Manning got injured and the defense was built to play with a lead and bring pressure.

I think you guys are putting the success of the teams over how good the QB is
wins and SB wins are a team stat
He built the Buffalo Bills of the early 90s, too.
He’s been extremely successful at building two dominant franchises during his tenures. He may not have a bunch of SB rings, but I would be satisfied with a decade of playoff teams and some appearances in the SB the way he did for those two organizations.
This
AfteR a decade of success, almost any franchise goes into a few down years cause you miss on one or two top picks and you don’t have as much supreme top talent to cover up for it

This is short-sided.
The “one player” thing is a recent development. They had very good talent on both sides of the ball for much of the time, but time and contracts for premier players caught up with them. In Buffalo he had a collection of talent on both sides of the ball. He’s a much better team builder than we have seen in St. Louis in the history of either NFL franchise that has resided here. The only question I have is does he still want to do it at his age.
Guys I'm not against Faulk being involved, I actually really support it
but I’m just asking why him and not other ex players who also have great football minds
Perhaps they don't want to.

Actually I know why
it’s because water is blue and the sky is blue because the water has sun shine on it that then is reflected by the sky
Like who exactly?
Faulk is by far the smartest Ram from the GSOT era.
Also bear in mind, he was the only high profile figure that wasn’t basically run out of town. Warner in favor of Bulger. Bruce ended up going to the 49ers, and Holt to Jacksonville (in both cases, it’s not exactly like the Rams were full of quality WRs, either)
Shockingly enough, athletes kind of get bitter when they are deemed not worthwhile anymore to the team that spent most of their career with.
thats the old regime ...
its there choice to continue to hold grudges, it was spags and his staff that banned these guys from the faclities, and i still dont know why, it was spags who took down every memorablia from the GSOT days, again, the kroenke made him kick rocks out of town, so again, if warner, and all these guys want to contnue to be all but hurt, and hold a grudge oh well…there problem not ours.

"I learned that Madonna will be singing at the Super Bowl. I thought this was football not the soundtrack to your menopause." ~ RAMpage28
Why would it mean he would have to sell the team?
There is no reason I can come up with for that. He’s going to use the lease issue as leverage to try to get a major renovation to the Dome, major tax incentives and operating concessions from the city, or to garner public funding for a new stadium. The state of Missouri will not pass legislation to approve public funding for a new football stadium. The Chiefs and Cardinals had very little success trying to get such support from the electorate, and they have far more established histories with the state and the fan bases.
He's a Missouri guy
The reason he bought the team is cause it’s in Missouri
Note to Douglas M: Remember that 99% of what I say involves BS
by King Sam Rules! on Jan 2, 2012 5:17 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I'm not saying he's definitely moving the team.
I do expect to hear a lot of posturing over the next few years that indicate that, while he wants to stay in St. Louis, the team may have to move to be profitable. It’s not true, but that leverage will be applied to get the deal he wants at the end of the day. It just is going to ring disingenuous when that starts up after all of this feel-good talk about building the St. Louis fan base.
From what I've herad
The people who are building the stadium want ownership of the team that goes there.
2 men enter 1 man leaves. THOSE ARE THE RULES OF THUNDER DOME!
"I learned that Madonna will be singing at the Super Bowl. I thought this was football not the soundtrack to your menopause." ~ RAMpage28
He would have to sell the team
because the group wanting to brign a team to LA and have a stadium deal worked out say they want to buy a majority of the team
If that's true ....
then there is no concern of the Rams going to L.A. Kroenke has spent a long time positioning himself into NFL ownership. There is no way he sells out of it that fast.
but their lease is for 30 years and would cost a shit ton to get out of
meanwhile in SD, they have a horrible fan base, nearly every game is blackouted and their lease ends soon and they could easily break it
Sorry, it just doesn't cut it to me.
You cannot convince me that the Jags and Kahn are gonna stay. Kahn will want to build a winner, which you can’t do in Jacksonville. The Chargers have had plenty of winning teams in San Diego, it’s a place you can win cause it attracts players.

be tough to get a new one
not many places to put it and taxpayers won’t want to pay for a stadium with the economy the way it is. Also no investors would invest in a team that is this bad right now and there aren’t many STL that would invest in a stadium even if they were GSOT good
I think the Chargers will be the team that moves, too.
The sooner that gets done, the better for St. Louis football. Until then, I think Stan is a smart business man that will attempt to use whatever leverage he has available to him to maximize the value of his team.
I don’t give two shits who helps pick a HC. Just as long as one is chosen. Can’t say who’s the right one until they’ve proven themselves. We thought Spags was the right choice. Is Dick gonna cry at the introduction of the new HC?

"I learned that Madonna will be singing at the Super Bowl. I thought this was football not the soundtrack to your menopause." ~ RAMpage28
Actually this is a pretty good move and I like it.
It serves 3 purposes…
1. To the fans it addresses the whole “lose culture” stigma that is attached to this team.
2. Stan is not a football guy so he has a great player and great coach perspective in the interviewing process. When they start talking football he can lean over and go “Is this guy for real? Can he do all that shit he just said?”
3. Networking kinda like number 1, but the Rams still have to recruit good players and they of course are looking for the best coaches. It looks much better if Dick Vermeil shoots a couple rounds of golf with Jeff Fisher and goes “Look, I built a team in two years that dominated the NFC West for half a decade and became NFL lore and I wasnt even there for most of it. You know it well because I bitchslapped your pathetic group of crimewave jungleballers in the superbowl.” “But I respect your coaching ability and you should sign up with me because we are going there again!”…than if Stan goes and shoots a couple rounds of golf with Jeff Fisher with that 70s burned out Vegas hustler look and goes “Do you know about soccer?!”
- 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
Stan isn't much of any kind of guy...
Unless it involves Wal-mart (his whole supposed real estate empire basically consists of leasing land to Wal-mart for their stores)
Oh well there you go even more to the point.
