“He’s going to have great success,” Gurley said. “Obviously, he has one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He’s a great guy, great coach.”

In the Rams’ offense, Gurley has had back-to-back 1,200-yard rushing seasons, and had 2,093 total yards from scrimmage in 2017 and 1,831 total yards this year. Packers running back Jamaal Williams, who spent the week in Atlanta and visited Radio Row, said Friday he’s eager to see how different LaFleur’s philosophy is in the run game.

“I’m just waiting to see what this running game is going to do. I haven’t talked to him yet, but I see that (the Rams) have been top 10 in running the ball, so your boys are getting happy about that,” Williams said in an interview with ESPN Wisconsin. “Me and Aaron (Jones), we’re ready to go. We’re ready to get loose.”

The 39-year-old LaFleur isn’t the only recent Rams assistant to get head-coaching jobs. Rams 35-year-old quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor, who is ex-Packers head coach Mike Sherman’s son-in-law, is set to become the Cincinnati Bengals’ head coach after the Super Bowl. With teams searching for the next McVay, McVay, who turned 33 last week, joked he’s too young to have a coaching tree, but acknowledged that LaFleur and Taylor’s hirings say a lot about what the Rams have built in a short time.
