The Rams replaced 1 tackle, 2 guards and shifted 1 guard to center from 2021 to 2022. They spent one top 100 pick and everyone makes $3-4 million or less other than their long time right tackle Rob Havenstein who makes $11 million. It shouldn’t be this fucking hard.
Fair enough. 3 guys (4 I guess…that pick does make it sting) in the top 50 in 4 drafts isn’t a lot in my opinion. Not when considering the state the OL was in. He just made bad picks. If he hit on 2/3 of them nobody would be saying a word and the team would be on a different trajectory, but he didn’t, so here we are.
If I can really only fire one, then it’s Hackett. Doesn’t make sense to fire the GM and stick them with a HC , doesn’t make sense to fire the HC and let a GM whose on thin ice hire a new coach- that’s how you get a John Idzik at GM or a Jim Tomsula at HC. So it’d have to be a coordinator- and Ulbrich’s actually good at his job, so fire Hackett (the apple sure didn’t fall far from the tree).
It should be considered that firing Saleh is a waste of the genie's one wish. Firing Douglas starts the rest of the house cleaning and the number one interview requirement for his replacement would be the first day disposal of Saleh by the new GM.
Obviously, but I figured that was too easy of a question. The harder question to answer is firing one without the chain reaction / domino effect of getting rid of everyone else. Fire Douglas, clean house. Fire saleh, clean out coordinators.
Saleh. I'd have made the move mid-season and promoted Ulbrich to temp-HC. Plus we'll never get our Cheer-Squad back with Saleh in the building. He gots to go
This is simple; fire Douglas and let the new GM fire everyone else. Brant Boyer and Tony Oden are the only legitimate coaches on this team.
I'd make Tom coughlin GM. Give HGH, cocaine, whatever is needed to get three maybe four good years out of him.
