    Good, things are lining up for one of the Rams coaches. Probably Shula. Scheelhaase probably a little ripe for HC.

    Virtual but keep in mine this is coming from Dulac. Healthy size grain of salt.

    Won’t be an in person until after their season ends. So hope for a Seahawks win!

    Not sure they can interview until after the SB if they advance.

    Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer explained in his column to begin this week that an unusual rule has prohibited the Steelers from virtually speaking with any assistants from this year’s top-seeded teams.

    “One interesting rules quirk: The Steelers won’t be able to interview any Broncos or Seahawks assistants until after the playoffs,” Breer wrote on Monday. “Pittsburgh missed the first window because it was playing on wild-card weekend, and the second window (during the Super Bowl bye week, should either or both make it) is only for second interviews.”

    But win or lose, Shula will be available to meet with teams for interviews during the Super Bowl bye week.

    Yeah, I didn't know if the week before the Superbowl was treated like a Bye week, when players and coaches would be sent home for a few days.

    LOL... Chris Shula is not going to fit in here at all. :)

    Found Somewhere on Reddit's Los Angeles Rams board.
    Shula has the second cheapest defense in the league with only one first rounder we picked in his tool box and his defense has done enough this year for us to be undefeated.

    5 losses on the season, 3 to special teams and 1 to a 3 turn over Stafford game and 1 to DJ Humphries.

    What if Browns can’t find anyone that wants to coach them?

    Right now they can’t find a minority who wants to interview

    Why would you interview just to be a token interview
