The LA Rams have hired their new defensive coordinator with the January 21, 2021 announcement of adding Raheem Morris to the coaching staff. And now, the team must work towards filling out the vacancies on the coaching staff. Of course, that means filling the huge vacancy at the linebackers coach position most recently held by Assistant head coach/Linebackers Coach Joe Barry.
Barry followed Brandon Staley to join the LA Chargers coaching staff. That was a particularly difficult loss from the coaching staff because the LA Rams depth at both inside and outside linebackers has waned considerably due to the projected loss of OLB Leonard Floyd, OLB Samson Ebukam, OLB/DE Derek Rivers, and LB Travin Howard.
