Rams to interview Brandon Staley for defensive coordinator job next week

The Rams are bringing in Brandon Staley for an interview next week

The Los Angeles Rams are in search of a new defensive coordinator after losing Raheem Morris to the Atlanta Falcons and they’re at least considering the possibility of bringing back Brandon Staley. According to Albert Breer, the Rams will bring in Staley for an interview next week after he interviews with the Dolphins on Monday.

Staley also interviewed for the Packers’ defensive coordinator position, so he’s getting looks from three different teams.

Staley was the Rams’ defensive coordinator for one season in 2020 before becoming the Chargers’ head coach in 2021, a job he held for two-plus years before being fired this past season.

When Staley was with the Rams, they had the No. 1-ranked defense in points and yards allowed. The Chargers struggled under his guidance, however, going just 24-24 in 48 games with Staley as the head coach.
