Now that he’s officially returning for the 2023 season, Sean McVay has begun making changes to his coaching staff. He was expected to shake things up after a 5-12 season and we already know five coaches who won’t be returning next season.
According to Field Yates of ESPN, the following five coaches won’t be back with the Rams in 2023:
- OL coach Kevin Carberry
- Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis
- DBs coach Jonathan Cooley
- Assistant defensive line coach Skyler Jones
- Defensive assistant Lance Schulters
The biggest surprise in that group is DeCamillis because special teams was hardly the Rams’ biggest problem in 2022. Matt Gay had a Pro Bowl-caliber season and Brandon Powell was a reliable return specialist. Riley Dixon could’ve had a better year as the punter, but that’s not necessarily DeCamillis’ fault.
The Rams’ offensive line was a mess this season so Carberry’s departure wasn’t exactly unexpected. But on the flip side, it’s not his fault just about everyone who lined up along the O-line got hurt at one point.
Liam Coen has already moved on and become Kentucky’s offensive coordinator, so that’s another spot the Rams will need to fill at some point. Now they have five others that need addressing, too.
