The Los Angeles Rams have appointed Mike LaFleur as their new offensive coordinator, the team revealed on Friday night. This comes after LaFleur left his previous position as offensive coordinator of the New York Jets while Liam Coen vacated the same position on the Rams’ team in search of a job at the Kentucky Wildcats.
Los Angeles will be hoping that LaFleur can help to improve their ability to move the ball down the field. In 2022, the team made 280.5 yards per game, the lowest in the league. They also came 27th in the NFL for points per game with 18.1.
Having won Super Bowl LVI last February, the Rams were unable to hit their stride over the past season after getting hit hard by an array of injury setbacks. Quarterback Matthew Stafford, along with wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson were all ruled out of action with season-ending injuries.
Prior to joining the Jets, LaFleur was the passing game coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers as well as wide receivers coach from 2017 until 2020.
