Knox Hires 4 Former Assistants From Seahawks to Join the Rams

Chuck Knox, the new coach of the Rams, announced Friday that, as expected, four members of his former Seattle Seahawk staff were joining him.

George Dyer, his defensive line coach, replaces Jeff Fisher, who was fired late Thursday as defensive coordinator. Secondary coach Rod Perry, special assignments coach Joe Vitt and running back coach Chick Harris all will assume the same jobs in Anaheim.

Former Seattle offensive coordinator John Becker may assume a non-coaching role with the Rams, and Gil Haskell, who was the Rams’ assistant in charge of special teams and tight ends, was retained by Knox.

Holdover linebacker coach Ronnie Jones, offensive line coach Hudson Houck and strength and conditioning coach Garrett Giemont are all still being considered for those positions by Knox.
