Sources: The Rams are hiring the well-respected Joe DeCamillis away from Jacksonville to be their new special teams coordinator. John Bonamego is moving into a new role as a senior coaching assistant.
Really solid add here to a staff that's got good depth already.

For the second straight season, the Los Angeles Rams will have a new special teams coordinator. As first reported by Albert Breer of The MMQB, the Rams are hiring Joe DeCamillis as their special teams coordinator.
He will replace John Bonamego, who will transition to a new role as a senior coaching assistant.
DeCamillis, 55, has been a special teams coach in the NFL since 1988, when he got his start with the Broncos. He’s bounced around from team to team, spending time with the likes of the Cowboys, Giants, Bears and most recently, the Jaguars.
The Rams’ special teams unit ranked 30th in the NFL in Rick Gosselin’s annual poll this year and has regressed each season since being ranked first in 2017. Hopefully DeCamillis can right the ship after a difficult year on special teams in L.A.
