The first season of the NFL's return to Los Angeles did not go especially well. At all.
A listless Rams team pitched and lurched its way to a 4-12 record. No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff didn't see the field most of the season and struggled once he did.
And by season's end, the honeymoon was already over in La-La Land, as a half-full Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum echoed with the boos of disenchanted fans.
The Rams went into the offseason badly needing to shake things up. To find a new head coach who could not only inject some excitement into the franchise but also hopefully develop the young quarterback the team mortgaged its future to obtain.
