RB coach going to the Rams?

[lordofgun]

I wonder why he declined the Bills' offer to stay in B-lo. Seems like he was in a no-lose situation the way Henry was running. I wonder if he was blamed for Henry's poor ball protection.

[ArcticWildMan]

He apparently has old ties with Martz.

I wonder if Thurman is ready to coach yet. I think he expressed an interest at one time. I think he would do well as a coach because he made himself a better player by self discipline and working on those areas where he needed to get better. He didn't start out to be a great receiving RB and blocker. Maybe he can impart that attitude to his players.

I want Steve Tasker as our ST coach

Ain't gonna happen, AWM. He's stated that time and time again.

Fairchild given title of QBs coach/offensive coordinator

St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz continued the revamping of his staff in the wake of a disappointing season, hiring Buffalo Bills running backs coach Steve Fairchild as the team's new quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.

Not surprisingly, Martz will continue to do most of the work designing game plans and calling plays, as he has done in the past. But the addition of Fairchild, 44, should provide him some reprieve from the workload that caused Rams officials plenty of concern the past two seasons.

It also gives Martz a sounding board with whom he is familiar and in whom it appears he has great confidence. In time, Martz acknowledged, he might eventually cede some of his own responsibilities to Fairchild, but that will not be in the coming season.....more

That's already on our front page, Phil!

I guess they had to give him the OC title or Buffalo wouldn't let him go. Interesting.....

Actually, wasn't his contract up anyway? Even if it wasn't, the NFL prohibits lateral moves...which is what it would be if he simply moved to become a position coach with another team.

[Michael82]

Oh don't you start that!

Yeah, his contract was up...but apparently he was going to stay wih Buffalo until they gave him the OC title and the extra money that probably goes with it.
