Sean McVay isn’t demoting Ra’Shaad Samples from his running backs coaching position, but he is making a change. The L.A. Rams head coach noted this week that assistant head coach Thomas Brown, the team’s running backs coach from 2020-2021 who had moved over to tight ends this season, will go back to assisting his former positions group.
Samples, in his first year with the team after three years as an assistant at SMU, will continue to work in his role as running backs coach, too. But with the NFL’s weakest rushing attack so far this season, it’s clear that McVay is unhappy with the results at running back.
