Rams promoted QBs coach Frank Cignetti to offensive coordinator.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported the expected promotion on Thursday morning, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has now confirmed it. It's arguably the least-inspiring hire in an offseason full of them. Going on 50, Cignetti has never coordinated an NFL offense, and spent 2008-11 overseeing middling college units at Cal, Pitt and Rutgers. It's an admission of defeat for the Rams, who struck out on a host of bigger-name candidates. With questions swirling around not only the Rams' personnel, but future in St. Louis, it's not an attractive job. "Continuity" could be construed as a positive, but not when you consider how much the Rams' offense has struggled in recent years.
