On Thursday, the LA Rams saw defensive coordinator Raheem Morris get hired as the next head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. While losing Morris will hurt the Rams in the short-term, it’s hard not to see the Sean McVay effect at work with this coaching cycle. For real, did anyone expect eight-time Super Bowl champ coaching free agent Bill Belichick get passed over?
Hard to see Bill Belichick getting a job during this hiring cycle at this point. The trend has been towards younger coaches. Outside of Jim Harbaugh, the average age of Pierce, Mayo, Callahan, Morris and Canales is 42.
