Rams Hire John Fassel As Speical Teams Coach

It's being reported by various websites that cover the Oakland Raiders, that John Fassel will be joining the Rams as their new special teams coach. This should be a great hire for the Rams, he creates good blocking schemes and even had a kicker throw for a touchdown.
This is what Bill Williamson from ESPN had to say about him.
The Raiders have had one of the best special teams in the NFL in recent years. Fassel was a strong coach, but the talent remains for Oakland in this area.
He will be replacing the Rams former special teams coordinator Tom McMahon. It's not Tom's fault the special teams were down this season. The whole team played horrible, but bringing Fassel to the team should mean that the play of the special teams will improve.
If the Rams want Fassel to be successful here, they will have to give him some more speed at returner. We all seen how important special teams were in the 49ers and Giants game in the NFC Championship. This hiring and adding more players should make the Rams special team a good unit.
Let's just hope that Fassel doesn't have to rely on Greg Salas and Austin Pettis to return kicks this season.
More information from Raiders.com
Fassels' special team unit has led the NFL two straight seasons in takeaways (10) and turnover margin (7). Also led the league with 26 total points in 2010.

I've never been excited over a ST coordinator
But this is kinda sweet.
Been losing sleep over Rams football since 1999.
Steven Jackson is a beast, a legend, a HoFer and should be treated as such.
FUCK YEAH SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Tom not kick the ball to Patrick Peterson instead of out of bounds ,in both games with the Cardinals ,the man was a dick ,glad to see him replaced
No
Jones said he punted it to Peterson on accident.

If nothing else . . .
Our coaching staff can beat up your coaching staff . . .
Who's faster home to first? Yadi or Torty?
this actually seems like a really good hire.
Of course he was helped by first round kicking talent in Seabass and had a pick from about 20 4:30 40 timed players, however they always seem prepared and focussed and if we can get an athletic gamechanger at the return spot to tie with Donnie, Chamberlain and Curry we’ll be more than solid. I’d like us to draft a kicker in the 6th. Brown is getting paid too much and is really bad from short range. If we can’t rely on our kicker to convert from 30 yards with our red zone issues we’re fucked lol
I think being consistently good on special teams will be the difference in close divisional games.
Credit where its due, on face value I really dig this hire, although it isn’t atoning for the Schotty hire lol

I wish the FSU kicker was coming out
I say we need to draft Dustin Hopkins next year

Kinda looks like...
"Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet - I'm gonna break your face..." The Champ
And yet another great signing
Finally we’re looking like an NFL coached team instead of USFL
