Aubrey Pleasant Likely to Return to Rams

Aubrey Pleasant is likely to return to Sean McVay's Rams coaching staff after failing to land any of the three defensive coordinator positions he interviewed for.

The Rams assistant head coach interviewed for defensive coordinator vacancies with the Raiders, Cardinals, and Chargers, but all three teams have filled those roles with other candidates. Only the Browns' defensive coordinator position remains open, but it's unclear if Pleasant is still in contention.

If Pleasant stays in Los Angeles, he'll rejoin a mostly unchanged staff that reached the NFC title game in 2025. The only significant departure was offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, who became the Cardinals' head coach.
