Sherman likes what he sees in St. Louis

Cowboys wide receiver coach Ray Sherman is one of seven candidates vying for the St. Louis Rams' opening. Sherman is set to interview soon and former ex-Cowboys assistant Todd Bowles (Miami assistant) is also in the mix. Sherman is a highly-regarded coach across the league and done about as well as he could handling Terrell Owens.

The Rams (dude) went 2-14 this season but they do have RB Steven Jackson and the No. 2 overall pick in the draft.

Sherman is a demanding coach and some of his style may have been negated by the overall atmosphere created by Wade Phillips.

Sherman was an offensive coordinator in Minnesota (1999) and Pittsburgh (1998). He's been in the NFL since 1988.

Snipped from linked article

Sherman, reached by phone Monday in Dallas, said it was a career goal of his to be a head coach in the NFL and that he was looking forward to the Rams interview.

"I just think it'll be an excellent opportunity," Sherman said. "It's a team that has some exciting players and has a chance to turn it around."

Sherman, of course, saw the Rams at their best this season. His Cowboys were on the receiving end of a 34-14 loss to St. Louis on Oct. 19.

I was unaware they only beat us and the Commanders. Amazing.

I was unaware they only beat us and the Commanders. Amazing.

:bang2:I was unaware to that also. And I wish Ray Sherman luck, he deserves that job.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Good luck to him. Hopefully he'll get it and hopefully he does well.

They didn't just beat us, they mowed us over.

I remember they beat the Commanders next and I was like, well maybe they aren't so bad... then they proceeded to lose every game after that while the Commanders finished last in the division. Oops.

I think they upset the Commanders before they played us.

They beat the Sk*ns, then us (badly) and then almost beat the Patriots and looked to be on a roll after the mid-season coaching change before finishing the job of crapping their bed.

 

[TheCount]

I guess I have selective memory, I wished it was the other way around.

LOL, I was unaware of that as well. Pitiful.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Can he take TO with him?

 

[Monster Heel]

Perfect example of catching a team at the wrong time. When the Commanders and Cowboys played them they'd just gotten rid of Linehan. Even after they beat the Cowboys they played the Patriots really close and nearly beat them. After that though they went into Arizona and got a beating put on them and they seemed to lose that fire.

Amazing is a pretty kind word. Perhaps I'm just a little cranky today.

sorry to change your history lesson, but the Rams beat us after their bye, and in their first game with the new HC, then while most Boys fans were smugly saying look at that, the Rams Trounced you. Oh yeah Romo was QB then too.

Thanks, your right.

 

[Disturbed]

Sherman could not coach our WR to run proper routes....WR that are pro bowl caliber players....he is not a very good coach. I will be happy when he leaves....

 

[Givincer]

I'd laugh pretty hard if Ray Sherman got the St. Louis job.

Classic case of a team with a soft underbelly, that being Wade.
