The NFL hiring cycle is in full swing, which means teams have started their annual poaching of the Rams’ coaching staff. Offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell is in line to become the Vikings’ next head coach, a move that’s expected to become official after the Super Bowl.
He’s the latest coach to leave the Rams for a big opportunity elsewhere, following in the line of Zac Taylor, Matt LaFleur and Brandon Staley. That leaves the Rams with a void at offensive coordinator, which McVay will try to fill after the Super Bowl.
He may not need to look far for a replacement, with these six familiar faces being quality candidates. Four of them are currently on the Rams’ staff, while two others were with Los Angeles within the last five years.
