Went to see whose cut on black monday and at the end of a sporting news article Chidzinski was the one and only canidate they were preaching.

Who’s a good fit? The NFL is a copycat league, so the Rams should be inspired by the Carolina Panthers’ quick offensive turnaround and target offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski. What would help in that scenario is luring A.J. Smith as general manager—who worked with Chudzinski in San Diego—if the Chargers make such a front-office change.

It really depends on whether they think that hiring Spagnuolo was a mistake because he had no head coaching experience. If you ndo, then hiriing Chud would be more of the same. If you think you keep looking for up and coming guys then maybe you take a chance on another coordinator with no head coaching experience.

If it were me though, I think I would go with a proven guy if I could find him and there was a good fit. I don't know thhere fan base would support another no name guy and several more years of struggle.

Wouldn't take this speculation too seriously. He's just the latest guy the media has heard of. I honestly don't think Chud is as important to Newtons development as Shula has been. So even if he does leave (unlikely), then we already have Norv's son on staff who could probably step right in and do a fine job.

Just because ONE article says that, everyone is getting their panties in a twist. The Rams want an A list coach. Chud is not gonna restore faith in that fan base unless Cam Newton goes with him. That team wants Jeff Fischer or some other proven HC. So just breathe. All will be fine. Chud isn't going anywhere. Once we make the playoffs, then you can all push the panic button because he will then be in HIGH demand. Especially if we go deep into the playoffs next season and Cam kills it during the regular season.

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
