Zac Taylor is affiliated with two of the best OL coaches in the NFL over the past couple of decades in Bill Callahan (HC at Nebraska when he was the QB there) and Mike Sherman (Father in law). So, I wouldn't rule out Taylor wanting to bring one of them in. Especially Callahan whose available after leaving Washington... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of nervous that they're letting a lot of decent to great staff go, and no one is coming in to replace them. Meanwhile the musical chairs around the rest of the league are settling in. And if the Rams win this Sunday, we probably have another 2 weeks of no hires. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if a guy like Wilks at AZ was stuck with second or third choices for coaches and doomed to fail because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Taylor has "his guys" that he wants, then odds are he's already spoken to them about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they have someone already lined up to replace them before letting guys here go. Mike Brown isn't stupid. It's just going to be guys who aren't making the rounds right now and having their names out there because they know they have something lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes me nervous is all. If i'm someone Taylor has lined up as the OC, for example, but Cleveland calls and has an actual contract ready to go, i'm going to think long and hard about just signing that one.

TheVillain112 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 From a TheAthletic article: https://theathletic.com/769804/2019/01/16/jay-glazer-mailbag-nfl-championship-weekend-coaching-hires/ Quote "What do you think of the Cincinnati Bengals targeting Rams quarterback coach Zac Taylor? Don’t seem to know much about him." He’s a guy that the Bengals actually targeted for weeks toward the end of the season as they knew they were moving on from Marvin Lewis. They did a ton of backchannel work on him. When you talk to people on the Rams, you learn he is a football guy non-stop. When he went in and interviewed some places, I was told when he talked about offense — what he was able to use from Sean McVay’s offense plus some twist he put on it — other teams were blown away. He commanded the room in the interview process. He’s a guy who is very family-oriented, and he’s one of these 24-7 football guys who can connect with players and coaches, both old and young. Cincinnati, I thought, was going to be a hard place to get a good hire. If they do make this official, they’ll end up getting one of the hidden gems of this coaching class.

theJ Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This is why I'm nervous about the assistants. Also, Darrel bevel signed elsewhere. So he's out as OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious who it could be at this point. Any dream of having an experienced OC to go along with the inexperienced coach is about out the window. It's going to be another up and comer just promoted from a positional coach assignment, or someone who was fired and currently unemployed. There aren't a ton of options out there. At this point i'm thinking he has to be planning on poaching several of the Rams staff. Otherwise why wouldn't we have seen anyone come to terms yet?

In case it wasn't clear, Callahan is under contract. I don't know why Washington would let him out of his deal, so this is probably a pipe dream.
