THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- These last couple of weeks were an awkward time for Les Snead. He didn't know if he would return as the Los Angeles Rams' general manager, and yet he remained a key part of the search for a new head coach, a determination that would ultimately decide his own job status.
At the onset, Snead told Rams owner Stan Kroenke and COO Kevin Demoff he simply wanted to "help you guys get this right."
"I would rather get it right and not be a part than get it wrong to be a part -- and after that, we'll figure out myself," Snead said Friday, the day after 30-year-old Sean McVay was introduced as the Rams' new head coach.
