Rams get OK to interview Chudzinski


Gazi

Recommended Posts

Funny how some of these interviews are purely for leverage purposes. Word is that Fisher is leveraging Miami and St. Louis against one another so now the Rams are going to start interviewing other candidates to let Fisher know they are willing to move on.

I think the 2nd interview thing with Chud was a move to get Mularkey to decide whether or not he wanted the job in Jacksonville.

If that's the case, then Chud knows he's not getting the job(s) and is using the interviews for leverage himself, for a raise.

He shouldn't turn down interviews thats for sure. it will help him later on down the line...hopefully he's like Rivera and has to go on interviews for several years before landing a gig

I still think they get Fisher.

Way things are going though, about five minutes after we hear Fisher announced as the Rams New coach, the Miami Herald will have breaking news that the Dolphins want to interview Chudzinski :cuss:

Maybe he'll turn them down on butthurt principle, since they took Daboll over him as OC last offseason.

I remember hearing that Fisher is more likely to take the St. Louis job because it comes with a lot more freedom and control than that in Miami. There is also speculation that he may try to talk Gregg Williams into coming over and being the DC for the Rams (if Fisher does indeed take that position). Would be nice to keep Chud and have Williams leave the division, no?

Why would he leave one of the best teams in the NFL for one of the worst? Also I think moving from DC to DC elsewhere is a lot harder than moving from DC to HC somewhere else, unless his contract is up.

Hate to tell ya guys, but this is a feeling you might want to get used go.

If your organization is a successful one, then other teams sniffing after your coaches and players becomes pretty much an annual event.

I can live with that, if it comes with a level of success equivalent to the Patriots, Steelers, etc.

But this right now? This is premature. I'd prefer to have one Super Bowl trophy before we start losing people.

It really just shows me how desperate teams are for offensive minded coaches in this league. I mean Chud has not even been to the playoffs and is being courted by multiple teams.

Is this a bad time to mention that the Colts still have a job opening too? As well as the number one pick in the draft sosp:

(and yes, the Bucs have a head coach opening too)

Is the Colts opening official already? I am sure its safe to assume that Caldwell will no longer be the head coach with a new GM in town. I think Jeff Fisher would be a good fit there, if things dont work out in st. louis or Miami.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
