Official New Rams Coaching Staff Thread

[ljramsfan]

"Chris Shula worked as 'quality control coach' for the Chargers". What exactly does he do to "control" quality?

The quality of the Chargers play wasn't much better than the Rams.

I dont understand the position either. But I looked it on Wikipedia :

A quality control coach is a member of the coaching staff of an American football or Canadian football team whose primary job is preparing the team for a game, beginning sometimes two or three weeks before the actual game. Their primary duties include preparing for the game by analyzing game film for statistical analysis.

Isnt that the coaches job tho?

Thx for looking it up Lj. But isn't everyone on the team supposed to study game film? I guess the key is "statistical analysis".

my guess based on that info is the quality control coach works 1 week ahead of the rest of the team. so while the team and coaches are installing the gameplan for week 1, the quality control coach is watching and breaking down film to start installing a game plan for week 2 so come mon/tue the team can jump right into it

Talk about good rapport McVay is already getting points.

Just as I expected, negative comments on the article by 3k.

I'd love to have him but don't see the need for a vet play caller like him if McVay is calling plays

I'd like to have a vet play caller AND a youngin'

Reports are now out that Atlanta will block Shanahan from taking "key assistants". Sounds like their QB coach will take over as OC.

So safe to say we won't be able to add any Atl coaches also. @OldSchool

Yup, if they deny access to one team they have to deny all teams.

Well here's hoping McVay circles back and targets Tom Clements as OC

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Former University of Cincinnati offensive coordinator Zac Taylor is joining the Rams staff, source tells FootballScoop. Taylor previously coached quarterbacks and then served as offensive coordinator for the Dolphins (from 2012-2015). Oh, and his father-in-law is Mike Sherman.

Do you happen to know what role he'll have with the Rams?

Not sure. Nothing mentioned other than what I copied from the link.

Shanahan is pissed because he thought he was the #1 choice for all teams looking for a HC but in reality nobody wanted him except SF. #Truth

Took me a while to figure out who McVay reminded me of , but I finally figured it out

Gotta think Zac Taylor hire will be an assistant roll w/ QB or Quality Control to start. I wonder if Bill Callahan Connected the two coaches...Hmmm

Quite an extensive resume to be a Quality Control Coach IMO it will more than that although he's a former QB and has only coached Quarterbacks and he's not connected to Callahan whatsoever.

He played QB for Callahan in college. And I'm not seeing a role for him bigger than that here, unless it's as the WR Coach. I can't see him being the OC.

Good catch on the Callahan was looking for a coaching connection and I don't see him as OC either, but as a Offensive Quality control coach would be a downgrade, however, I concur I don't see him being a TE or WR coach either.
