After Brian Schottenheimer left St. Louis to become the offensive coordinator at Georgia, the Rams have identified some potential replacements.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Rams have requested permission to interview 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman and former Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan for vacancy in St. Louis.
Roman is also a candidate to replace Shanahan in Cleveland, and Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reports that the 49ers have given the Browns permission to interview Roman. Roman remains under contract with the 49ers even after head coach Jim Harbaugh left, but the 49ers are permitting him to seek employment elsewhere. Shanahan and the Browns have agreed to go their separate ways, and he doesn’t need permission to interview.
The Rams are coming off a season in which their passing game greatly struggled after Sam Bradford was lost for the season. Rams head coach Jeff Fisher will be looking for someone to inject some life in the offense.
