6 things we learned from Rams’ introduction of new coordinators

The Rams will be staying with a 3-4 defense under Brandon Staley.

O’Connell will serve as the QBs coach, too

Shane Waldron served as the Rams’ quarterbacks coach last season after Zac Taylor was hired by the Bengals. He’ll no longer have that responsibility, with it instead falling on O’Connell. The new offensive coordinator will also be the quarterbacks coach, McVay said, with Liam Cohen and Waldron helping out in the QB room.

“In a lot of instances, Kevin will assume those roles, working with those guys,” McVay said. “But whether it’s Liam Cohen that’ll be in that room, Shane will still have some interaction. But ultimately, Kevin will take on the typical responsibilities of a quarterbacks coach, very similar to what Matt had done a couple years ago.”
