It was unclear up to now if the Rams were going to go with a new offensive coordinator or not, and according to Adam Schefter (tweet below), we now have our answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Scheelhaase had several head coaching interviews this year, but didn\u2019t end up with any of those jobs. The new L.A. OC should be able to leverage this new position into more head coaching roles, as long as things go well in L.A. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turfshowtimes.com\/los-angeles-rams-analysis\/134462\/the-oc-files-is-nate-scheelhaase-ready-to-be-rams-offensive-coordinator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">We will find out if he\u2019s ready for the position or not. <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s an exciting time for the Rams who just made it to the NFC Championship game, and now are going to likely do anything they can to hoist the Lombardi in February of \u201827.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We\u2019ll see what happens, but this promotion for Scheelhaase is big news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I am guessing we\u2019ll have more on this story to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the meantime, thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great Friday!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cDespite not making the Super Bowl and employing a 38-year-old quarterback, the Los Angeles Rams might have one of the brightest futures in the NFL. They\u2019re already loaded with young talent on both sides of the ball and are in a great position to improve their roster this offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Not only does LA have two first-round picks in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/rams\/onsi\/los-angeles-stars-aligned-secure-long-term-future-2026-draft\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2026 NFL Draft<\/a>, but they\u2019re expected to be among the top spenders in free agency, equipped with a projected $62 million in cap space. On top of their financial flexibility, the Rams also don\u2019t have to worry much about retaining their own expiring talent. They only have a few key players hitting free agency this offseason, including safety Kamren Curl.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cHeading into this offseason, the issues for the Los Angeles Rams are clear: they must improve on special teams and add more talent at cornerback. General manager Les Snead has nearly $45 million in salary cap space to utilize on top of four draft picks in the first 100 selections of the NFL Draft, including two first-round choices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/rams\/onsi\/los-angeles-one-free-agent-could-steal-from-each-nfc-west-rival\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rams<\/a> have a chance to improve their team quickly and reestablish themselves as the favorites to win Super Bowl LXI next season.
