One of the top names mentioned as a candidate to replace Mike Groh as the Eagles offensive coordinator is taking his talents to LA to join the Rams.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that former Redskins offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell will be hired by the LA Rams for the same job title.
The #Rams will have an OC this year, and sources say they intend to hire former #Redskins OC Kevin O’Connell. He reunites with Sean McVay.

McConnell, 34, succeeded Rams head coach Sean McVay on Jay Gruden’s offensive coaching staff as QB coach, before working his way up to the job of the team’s passing game coordinator and then offensive coordinator.
O’Connell spent five seasons in the NFL as a quarterback before becoming an assistant coach in Cleveland and San Francisco.
