Rams Hire Ray Sherman As Wide Receivers Coach

in St. Louis Rams Hire Jeff Fisher
Email
PrintThe St. Louis Rams have hired Ray Sherman as their next wide receivers coach. The news first bubbled up on Twitter via NFL agent Fredrick Lyles, who represents Patrick Crayton. TST has since confirmed Sherman's hiring with another source. Sherman fits the profile as another well-experienced coach for Jeff Fisher's staff.
Sherman's most recent job was in Dallas, coaching receivers there. He was interviewed for the head coaching vacancy in 2011 to satisfy the Rooney Rule. Dallas let him walk after interviewing him because of some controversy around Dez Bryant, of course.
Sherman has a reputation as a coach who gives his players a wide berth, especially important among receivers who seem to typify the diva modern athlete. According to Matt Moseley of Fox Sports, Sherman allowed Bryant to "vent" on the sidelines. He also maintained a regular "Keepin' It Real Thursdays" for his players to "blow off steam." Miles Austin also spoke highly of Sherman and regretted losing him in an interview with PFT.
Sherman's name first bubbled to the surface as a coaching candidate last week. Rams great Henry Ellard was another name in contention for the job.
Sherman worked with Fisher in Tennessee from 2005-2006 as the receivers coach. He was with the Packers from 2000-2004. His first NFL coaching job was in 1988 as a running backs coach with the Oilers.

Good hire!
Dallas always developed good WRs.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Yeah like that Robinson kid
Can you believe two teams cut him?

He had him playing like a stud
when he has been nothing but a dud, and im doubting that Tony fuggin Romo was the difference lol so shit, this just may be a GREAT hire.
remember when i said robinson was the best wr we had
then all you nubs where like no look at the stats hes nothing compared to gibson or amendola.
No not really but I would like to point out why I think Laurnet had more success in Dallas then here.
The Cowboys simply have better receivers then us which makes the defense account for more. Robinson is playing well with the cowboys but I wouldn’t call him NO.1 receiver by any means.What I’m saying is that he is kind of like Alvin Harper. Coaching is important too.

No i dont remember that.
I remember wanting to keep Laurent over Gibson. I’ve never ever wanted gibson. But i did want to keep Mardy Gilyard around but fuck it
why did he leave dallas?
Was it a WR coach or Dez thing and the WR coach lost?
Sounds good from this, although I hope he trains the WRs hard.
I’m anticipating the QB coach hire a fair amount.

I'm not sure
maybe it was Dez maybe Garrert needed to fire someone from the offense to show he’s committed to change?

I think Dez is just that bad of an apple

I would guess the second one.
Coach underperforms, he has to fire somebody to keep from getting fired himself.

Love this hire
One of the top WR coaches in the league this last decade imo
Per fas et nefas - Latin translation="By Any Means Necessary"
Good hire and if he can do
for the Ram receivers what he did for Laurent Robinson we will be in the game.
i dont think he
was there last year. could be wrong though

He wasn't.

Really good at helping recievers develop and reach their abilities
He can handle divas well, and if Dez couldn’t get along with him, it says more about Dez than him IMO

I'll help you with 3 of the 4
4. Pettis
5. DJAX
6. Blackmon
….see ya in the SuperBowl! HA!

I wonder what that guy is looking to get paid...
I know it’s more than $550,000. VJAX only made a 1.14mil last year, but I bet Desean wants waaaaaaaaay more than that! Surprising Colston is at 3mil, and Bowe is just shy of it. I’ll take anyone named Jackson if it’s less than 2mil/yr, that is for sure!
If this guy can make Laurent Robinson look like a star.....
I love him.

Ray Sherman was a WR coach for the Cowboys from 2007-2010
So he didn’t coach Laurent Robinson

W.R.COACH
Disappointed Ellard didn’t get the job. Class act and a great reciever.
by California Mobile CPR on Jan 30, 2012 3:59 PM CST reply actions
So, where was he in 2011 then?
Out of coaching?
Yeah, took a year off from coaching
Too much Dez Bryant

Who was the QB Coach
in Nashville. It looks like most to the coaching staff has worked with Fisher at some time in Nashville
Bowe and Colston = Franchised.
DJax is a headache that Philly wants to lose real soon. Who wants him will severely overpay for his services. He hasn’t been consistent enough to pay WR #1 money.
Yeah, his attitude sux and I think he'd be a cancer in the locker room
I’d take Bowe or Garcon over DJax.

FANTASTIC!!
Then we got our new Guard,
Take Blackmon and sign Nicks!
Carl Nicks (NO) – OG – Nicks is one of the premier guards in the league and after watching Jahri Evans strike a rich deal not too long ago, the Saints may be hard pressed to offer a second guard that type of money, though Nicks arguably had a better season a year ago. If Nicks doesn’t put a hometown discount on the table, there’s a good chance the market shows him more love than the Saints can afford to show him.

I like this
Under Sherman Drew Benett had his most productive season. 16 yds per catch. And he’s been a QB coach. Good pickup.
Love this signing

Blackmon #1 WR, Meacham#2 and whomever else & Amendola in the slot?
Not to mention Carl Nicks as our new Offensive Guard. I like Colston a lot to.

now all he has to do is get some professional receivers
doubtfull Lloyd will be back
heck maybe he can lure T.O.out of retirement
the music is ;"london calling from a far away place...Kroaneke spit in his few rams fansface
..what a disgrace"……kinda rhymes
Sergey makes all his Money on Monday night. LOL
After everyone spent the real money on Friday/Saturday nights. He loves bonuses and cost of living increases checks. ROTFLMAO .

can't be doubtful on Lloyd coming back, it's like 50:50 right now
and the TO thing is plain stupid and I won’t even bother addressing that.
Haikus are easy,
but sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.
TO is done in the NFL
get over it!

well serg and dc --do you guys think Lloyd will be back
or will he take his considerable talent to a winning team
as he probably saw enough of this stink show
a great problem does pose itself as to why ant talented free agent will want to play here
it is a real concern
kroaneke spit on us fans by taking 3 games away from us
how does that affect you season ticket holders in st lou
I dont know if he'll be back or not
I WANT him to be back, because it’s one less talented player at a porous position that we’ll have to be concerned about. I’ll pray that he stops following McDouche around……..just creepy. I doubt he gives two shits about whether he plays a game in London or St Louis, quite frankly
What do you think?
i think he needs to be back ...not only because he is our best receiver
but because it will at least show that we want to keep
some proven talent……..and get rid of that whole we must start totally over psyche
...can't argue with you there
losing Lloyd means we lose serious talent and experience. It means we’ve gotta hope to get production from either this, or last, years rooks. I’d prefer to keep him, and I’d assume that if we can stay healthy and put some more talent around him, that his numbers would only improve in 2012. Him and Sam had a good rapport
who is sams qb coach gonna be ...if he even has one
i saw bring in bulger to coach him……at least we don’t have devaney
scouting for a pee wee QB coach ..because they come cheap..
I wonder what Jim Zorn is doing...

Been losing sleep over Rams football since 1999.
Steven Jackson is a beast, a legend, a HoFer and should be treated as such.
Saw that on TV

Probs be unpopular but
i am a huge Danario Alexander fan. This guy has a ton of talent, i reckon he could seriously be something in the NFL if the rams use him right
Only if he gets a new knee
No other way. You can’t have a guy in your rotations and depth that can’t be relied upon to be there, and he can’t. Sorry, he just can’t be healthy.

Ton of talent?
I just don’t’ see it. Yes he has decent speed and good leaping ability, but he is a HORRIBLE route runner and his hands are shaky at best.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
This should be a good hire for you guys.
Sherman is a good coach.
