New coordinator Mike LaFleur says his experiences with the Jets, 49ers, Falcons and Kyle Shanahan can help the Rams' offense get back on track.
In 2010, after Sean McVay interviewed for an NFL quality-control coaching job, Washington assistant Matt LaFleur called his younger brother to rave about the candidate.
Thirteen years after learning about the then-precocious McVay, LaFleur is preparing to work side by side with him as the LaFleur, who turns 36 next month, spent the last two seasons as the New York Jets’ offensive coordinator and play-caller, a relationship that ended after the team finished 7-10 under second-year coach Robert Saleh.“There were things I won’t share in terms of what I would do differently or anything like that,” LaFleur said, “but it was a great learning experience about building a roster with a lot of youth and I was proud of a lot of things we did.
The Rams’ staff also includes associate head coach Thomas Brown, senior offensive assistant Greg Olson and quarterbacks coach Zac Robinson, all of whom McVay passed over to hire LaFleur.“You’re going into an organization that has won, knows how to win, wants to win, has the right process and culture in place to win,” LaFleur said.
