Well, we may now know why Josh McDaniels’ talks with the Rams hit a snag. And why the Seahawks booted offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that McDaniels has been talking with the Seahawks since Monday. You know, the day when the Rams deal started to fall apart and a day before Bates was actually fired.
After two days of contract talks, McDaniels and the Rams couldn’t reach a deal. It has been suggested that the Rams’ “conservative fiscal approach” could have been the problem.
As Pete Carroll knows well, the Seahawks aren’t afraid to pay coaches big money in Seattle.
