Overview
- Miami submitted the request to speak with Los Angeles defensive coordinator Chris Shula, according to multiple reports including NFL Network.
- Shula can conduct virtual interviews next week under league rules, regardless of whether the Rams advance in the playoffs.
- The Tennessee Titans have also requested to interview Shula, underscoring a competitive market for the Rams coordinator.
- Shula, 39, has been on Sean McVay’s staff since 2017 and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2024 after roles across the defense.
- Under Shula in 2025, the Rams ranked 10th in scoring defense, 17th in total defense, fifth in takeaways, and seventh in sacks as Miami runs a broad search that includes John Harbaugh, Klint Kubiak, and Robert Saleh after firing Mike McDaniel following a 7-10 season.
