Report: Rams likely to target Josh McDaniels, offensive-minded coaches

The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly expected to look for more offensive-minded coaches in their search to replace Jeff Fisher.

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the Rams will likely seek the top offensive minds to fill their vacancy, with Josh McDaniels of New England and Kyle Shanahan of Atlanta named as possible targets.

Rams will likely move to try to get initial interview with Josh McDaniels for period when Pats are on the bye. K. Shanahan makes sense too

McDaniels has previous experience both as a head coach and with the Rams franchise, having been their offensive coordinator in 2011. Shanahan is also highly-regarded in NFL circles, though he’s never held a top job before. If true, though, the Rams certainly look to have a type in mind as they embark on a coaching search.
