Over the NFL offseason, the Los Angeles Rams lost one of their key figures on the coaching staff under head coach Sean McVay, with defensive coordinator Raheem Morris deciding to take the job as the new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons to replace Arthur Smith, who is now the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With McVay losing such a big part of his coaching staff and superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald to retirement, the Rams have had to pivot and address some needs during the offseason, which has been no easy task for the franchise and its head coach, who is considered to be one of the best in the business.
Along with prompting Chris Shula to be the new defensive coordinator to replace Morris, McVay and the Rams brass have made another move to help them be successful during the upcoming 2024 NFL season.
According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, Los Angeles is expected to hire Scott Frost as a senior football analyst, formerly the head coach of Nebraska and UCF on the college level.

This is an interesting move by the Rams, as it shows they want some more smart football minds in the building as they head into a season that seems to be filled with uncertainty after Morris’s departure and Donald’s retirement.
Only time will tell what the immediate future holds for the Rams franchise, as losing arguably their best player, a generational talent and first-ballot Hall of Famer, is not something most teams can bounce back from quickly.
