The Rams have built a great team in the last four years under general manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay, so it’s only natural that other franchises would be interested in those working in L.A.
According to multiple reports, Rams college scouting director Brad Holmes is a hot candidate for general manager vacancies and already has a couple of teams lining up to interview him. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Monday that the Falcons requested to interview Holmes for their GM vacancy after they fired Thomas Dimitroff this year.
The #Falcons have also requested a GM interview with #Rams college scouting director Brad Holmes, per source. Along with Rick Smith, these were top names expected to be in the mix in Atlanta. https://t.co/6pETUkEi72

Albert Breer of The MMQB also reported that the Lions will interview Holmes for their GM position following the firing of Bob Quinn.
On top of Fontenot, the Lions will interview Rams college scouting director Brad Holmes and Vikings assistant GM George Paton on Wednesday, and Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland on Friday for their GM position.
Detroit's moving forward aggressively.

Holmes has been with the Rams for eight seasons, holding the position of director of college scouting. He’s helped build the Rams into the team they are today, working in L.A. when Aaron Donald, Jared Goff, Todd Gurley, Michael Brockers and John Johnson were selected.
Holmes is a huge part of the Rams front office and roster-building, which makes it unsurprising that he’d become a GM candidate, especially considering he’s only 41 years old.
