The Los Angeles Rams changed just about everything with regards to their coaching staff last offseason, bringing in Sean McVay to lead the charge. He hired Wade Phillips and Matt LaFleur to be his coordinators, Greg Olson joined as the quarterbacks coach and John Fassel stayed around to head the special teams unit.

As much turnover as there was last year with the coaching staff, there could be a number of changes coming this offseason, too. Olson already left to join Jon Gruden and the Raiders as their offensive coordinator, but the departures may not end there.

According to reports, the Titans are interviewing LaFleur for their head coaching vacancy on Thursday.

This obviously isn’t great news for the Rams, but it won’t have a dramatic effect on the Rams’ offense. He’s not your typical offensive coordinator in the fact that he doesn’t call the plays, but he did have a hand in developing Jared Goff this past season.

That’s precisely why losing LaFleur would hurt Goff more than it would impact McVay.

His biggest role with the Rams was working with Goff to turn him into a franchise quarterback. That was his role with the Redskins and Falcons previously, helping the likes of Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins and Matt Ryan.

Goff arguably has more potential than any quarterback LaFleur has come across, which is why it would be nice to keep him around in Los Angeles for at least a few more years. It isn’t a necessity, however.

Losing LaFleur wouldn’t be like Bruce Arians leaving the Steelers or Colts years ago. It wouldn’t even compare to Hue Jackson departing Cincinnati for the Browns as it relates to McVay losing his coordinator.

That’s not to downplay LaFleur’s role with the team, or to say he isn’t valuable to the Rams. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have a job in Los Angeles. It’s just that McVay doesn’t ask as much of him as most head coaches ask of their coordinators.

For Goff, LaFleur leaving would probably have a pretty significant impact on him. It would mean he’ll have his third offensive coordinator in as many years, as well as his third quarterbacks coach in three seasons.

For a young quarterback entering his all-important third year in the NFL, that’s not an ideal situation.

Of course, none of this matters if the Titans don’t actually hire LaFleur, which is far from likely. He’s one of many candidates for the job, along with Steve Wilks and Mike Vrabel. Given his lack of experience as a play-caller in the NFL – he has none – it would seem as though this process is in the stage of infancy with regards to him becoming a head coach.
