03:13 PM ET 01.30 | The St. Louis Rams broke it off with Rob Ryan over reported concerns with his fascination with the 3-4 defense. A day after the annulment, the Rams are expected to reach out to former Browns defensive coordinator Dick Jauron, himself officially fired on Monday. Jauron's a more natural fit for the system that the Rams run, a 4-3 base defense that borrows heavily from the Cover-2 concept. Don't let the labels and simple-minded talk radio callers fool you, Jauron's defense used its fair share of man coverage too, especially with Joe Haden.

I liked him as a player, I don't think 'D' was the Browns problem so much

He sure has made the coaching rounds, though.

He probably would work well with Fisher, he's been around forever and should be a big contributor!

A switch to the 3-4 could help maximize some talent they have there on D but in no way was rob ryan a good fit. Jeff Fisher is too smart for that.

jauron could be the D coordinator for a long time. I believe his opportunities of another HC position have passed by. There aren't too many things more frustrating than having a good coaching staff picked apart.

The combination of Fisher, schottenheimer and jauron should excite some fans in stl.
