    Report: Rams not sending coordinators to NFL combine

    Report: Rams not sending coordinators to NFL combine

    Sean McVay has only been a head coach for three years, but he’s already established himself as someone who bucks the trend every now and then. Whether it’s by hiring a coaching staff full of guys in their 30s or sitting his starters for just about the entire preseason, McVay approaches things differently.

    His plan for the 2020 NFL combine will be out of the ordinary, too. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams’ new coordinators – Brandon Staley and Kevin O’Connell – will not attend the combine in Indianapolis because the team “would rather have them in Los Angeles, implementing the team’s new offensive and defensive schemes.” The Broncos aren’t sending their assistants to Indy, either.

    Additionally, McVay’s time at the combine will be limited, too. He will attend the first few days in Indianapolis to speak to the media, but he’ll then return to Los Angeles and continue working on “implementing his systems with his two new coordinators.”

    The rest of the Rams’ coaching staff, as well as their scouts and personnel evaluators such as GM Les Snead, will be in attendance at the combine.

    This is an interesting move by the Rams, but one that does make some sense. It’s the first time McVay will have a mostly new coaching staff, so there is a lot that needs to be done with regards to their scheme on both sides of the ball. And given the fact that they won’t be making personnel decisions in the draft, their attendance in Indianapolis isn’t exactly required.

    The Rams aren’t sending their new coordinators to the combine, and Sean McVay is only going to be there for the first few days.

    To add to this, Rams took similar approach with Senior Bowl this year – only sending a couple of scouts, while GM, majority of scouting dept., HC and assistants stayed back to watch the practices on film.

    In a possible wave of the future, Broncos’ HC Vic Fangio and Rams’ HC Sean McVay will attend the scouting combine, but Fangio is leaving home his assistant coaches and McVay is doing the same with his coordinators, believing in better uses of their time.

    Both organizations believed there was better use of their time than to attend the combine en masse, sources told ESPN. Though it did not drive either team’s decision, there also is a hefty financial savings for each organization by not having everyone travel to Indianapolis.

    I think it’s just the coordinators who are not going. Nothing was said about the Rams position coaches.

    The main thing about the combine is not watching the underwear competitions, it’s interviewing players. Nothing was said about whether the Rams were scaling that back or not.

    Yeah you can skip the workouts. But can you skip the interview process? We don;t know how the Rams are approaching that. If I had to guess I would say that no, they would not scale that back, it’s too valuable.
