The Los Angeles Rams have not yet completed assembling their coaching staff. Jerry Schuplinski, a former tight end
coach for the Las Vegas Raiders, is anticipated to join Los Angeles as a senior offensive assistant, according to Ian
Rapoport. Shortly after announcing the addition of multiple other coaches hired earlier in the offseason, Rams head
coach Sean McVay made the hire. Naturally, Los Angeles had to make several staff replacements after defensive
coordinator Raheem Morris resigned, leaving the team shorthanded and allowing other teams to try to sign young
players who were being trained by McVay.
The effect rookie Michael Mayer had on the Raiders offense was partially due to Schuplinski. Mayer had two
touchdown catches while playing through ailments, finishing with 27 catches for 304 yards.

In the new millennium, Schuplinski started his coaching career at John Carroll. From 2002 to 2006, he held the
position of head coach at the high school level. Upon leaving his position as special teams coach at Case Western
Reserve after six seasons, he joined former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick in the professional ranks.
Schuplinski won three Super Bowls with New England. He worked as the assistant quarterbacks coach for three
seasons after serving as an offensive assistant for three. Before spending two seasons as the New York Giants’
quarterbacks coach and aiding in the development of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, he had the same role in 2019
with the Miami Dolphins. Before taking over in the tight end room, he spent a year as the Raiders’ senior offensive
assistant coach.
Due to the Rams’ current situation, Schuplinski’s diverse coaching background may prove beneficial in Los Angeles.
Schuplinski is probably going to help quarterback Matthew Stafford improve if the quarterback’s successor is
discovered at this year’s NFL Draft. Although it would be too ambitious to interpret the appointment in greater
detail, the addition of another esteemed employee to the team can only be beneficial.
