It didn’t take long for former Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell to find work after leaving Washington this past week. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, O’Connell is close to being officially named the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, working under Sean McVay, another former Redskins’ coach.
O’Connell succeeded McVay as the Redskins’ OC a couple years ago in DC, and now he will reportedly be joining back up with his former colleague on the other side of the country.
The Redskins had a chance to keep O’Connell on under Ron Rivera as the offensive coordinator, and they reportedly were interested in bringing him back, but the two sides started to drift apart as it appeared that O’Connell wouldn’t have full control of the offense going forward. Now, O’Connell will join the growing list of offensive minds to leave Washington and expectedly find great success elsewhere, like Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, and Matt LaFleur.
