Rob Boras is sleep-deprived. More sleep-deprived than is usually the case for assistant coaches in the middle of a football season. Two days on his new job feels like a month.
“My wife’s still waiting for me to call,” Boras quipped.
Even his texts back to the home front have been streamlined to save time. “Emojis now,” Boras explained. “So you don’t have to type a whole word. I just type a heart.”
As in “I (heart) you.” Or “I (heart) offense.”
Boras found out at midday Monday he was replacing Frank Cignetti as the Rams’ offensive coordinator.
