Sean McVay is once again on the hunt for a new defensive coordinator after Brandon Staley was hired as the Chargers’ next head coach on Sunday. Whoever the Rams hire will be their third defensive coordinator in three years, but this search could be different.
With the way the Rams defense played this season, McVay could opt to stay in-house and hire someone who he’s worked with for the past few years, and someone who coached under Staley this season.
Los Angeles has a number of great candidates in the building already, but expect McVay to look at outside candidates, as well. Here are eight potential candidates to replace Staley as the Rams’ defensive coordinator.
