Coaches are getting antsy to coach again. Or as agent Joe Linta put it, they are starting to go “Looney Toon.”

Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo has come up with a fun solution to the problem for his staff: Just start coaching up whoever is in the Rams building.

The Rams Twitter account points out that Spagnuolo and his staff put the front office through a “Mock OTA” on Wednesday.

“We’ve done some mock meetings with ourselves as a staff, but the only way to do any coaching out there was we needed bodies,” Spagnuolo said. “We decided it was a good opportunity to get the organization together and do something fun.”

The next step in this land of make believe: Florio will start writing posts on rumors of impermissible contact at Mock OTAs.
