Kris Richard, Cowboys DBs coach
Richard hasn’t officially been fired by the Cowboys, but he’s already exploring other opportunities and figures to be out with Mike McCarthy coming in. Richard is someone the Rams and fans should be familiar with, given the work he did in Seattle as the Seahawks’ defensive coordinator.
A defensive backs specialist, Richard has a lengthy track record of success working with secondary players. He’d be a worthwhile addition to a defense that features Ramsey, John Johnson and Taylor Rapp, ideally making the most of their potential.
Richard is a fiery coach who’s often seen yelling on the sideline, which would be a stark contrast from the approach Phillips took. Perhaps that’s something McVay is looking for.
