The Los Angeles Rams have had to replace members of their coaching staff this offseason, most notably Kevin O’Connell, who left to become the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. To fill the void left behind by O’Connell, the Rams brought back a familiar face in Liam Coen to be Sean McVay’s offensive coordinator.
While speaking to Kevin Demoff (the COO of the Rams) at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, NBC Sports’ Peter King highlighted how excited the Rams are to get Coen back on their coaching staff.
Rams COO Kevin Demoff was in Indianapolis for less than 24 hours. We had the bold thought of meeting for lunch outside the convenient Combine bubble. We walked twenty minutes away and hit BRU BURGER, and we didn’t run into one assistant coach, didn’t see one NFL logo, and had salads and shared a plate of nachos. The one thing I took out of it was how excited the entire organization is over the hiring of Liam Coen as the new offensive coordinator. Coen was with the Rams from 2018 to 2020, left for a year to call plays at Kentucky, and is now returning to L.A. Wondering if the Rams are wallowing after losing eight coaches? Don’t be fooled. They’re happy for the guys moving on, energized by the new crop coming in.
