Shane Waldron

Currently the Rams’ passing game coordinator, Waldron is a step up the status ladder from the aforementioned Zac Taylor. He essentially shares the OC duties with the Rams under McVay, handling their diverse passing attack.

He’s a serious candidate in Detroit due to his Patriots ties, working in New England in separate stints during both Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia’s time with the team. The 39-year-old has worked with tight ends and special teams prior to his Rams stint, and he was a tight end and long snapper in college.

The Rams could be poised for a deep postseason run, so his immediate availability could be an issue.
