The LA Rams had four openings in their coaching staff when the sun rose on January 10, 2020. By the end of the day, that number is down to two. Apparently, when it rains, it pours in Los Angeles. Especially if you are the LA Rams and working to hire new coaches to prepare for the 2020 season.
The mystery of who will be the Rams defensive coordinator had a number of twists and cul-de-sacs. The defensive coordinator would determine if the team stayed in the 3-4 defense, or switched over to a 4-3 defense. The team would also seek input from the new defensive coordinator on a number of very talented defensive free agents scheduled to hit the open market this off-season.
