    Can we wait until a Head Coach is hired?

    What you all are arguing about is a moot point until then...

    I am concerned at this point that we might lose Andy Weidl!

    This is something I've never understood.
    I have never seen a team win by yards either way. LoL.
    Points, turnovers, and harassing the Qb is all that should matter in modern NFL Ds.

    Shula is the son of a leganday coach. As a football player achiveing type of linebacker.

    He is a modren type of coach, that understands down and distance. His performace on the Rams who had a cheap defense on the cap with many young players is eye opening.


    " The appeal of Rams D-Coordinator Chris Shula? Running an elite Defense with only 1 1st Round Pick selected by the Rams. Most snaps on D played by 2 FAs picked up on the cheap. Turned mid and late round picks into a cohesive unit. If you’re a team paying your QB big money? Shula is ideal. "


    Hmmm... I like what I am reading.

    That's in response to someone that is saying the Ram's DC Shula is a terrible coach and shouldn't be considered for the head coaching position with the Steelers. The poster is saying he's not a good DC even though his defense is #10 in scoring defense with the team spending under $70,000,000 per year.

    The Steelers are #17 in scoring defense and they are spending close to $180,000,000.

    Huge difference.
