Oh, I agree TX. To me MMM had a definite style and football agenda that I believe Rams players clearly identified with (I'm with you as a MM supporter). Perhaps not the best in terms of popularity but the points / results were sure there.

Coach Linehan obviously does not have that strong of a school - image - character for a HC that the troops can relate to. Hopefully that will change with the help of Saunders as OC.


That's what I think is the main dish. LARAM0 mentioned leaders such as Ditka, Grant, Landry, and Noll -- highly respectable HCs. Not always "amiable" people to be around with but strong as football Bobby Knights, that knew how to pull the reins with just the right tension and produced points in just the right amount.

...500 tallies per season by the Rams seemed 'just right'.
