Kevin O’Connell was hired to fill the new offensive coordinator for the LA Rams on January 16th. He held the same position with the Washington Redskins in 2019. So it begs the question, why did Sean McVay hire him to run the offense?
O’Connell seems to be the most intriguing hire among the new coordinators. Wouldn’t it make sense to select a high profile successful coordinator to revamp the Rams offense? Wouldn’t you want to hire someone with plenty of experience to aid in the high-stress situation of play-calling, especially in tight critical games?
