Joe Vitt = interim head coach

Steve Fairchild = OC will take over play calling duties


What do we know about these guys, other than they're assistants for Martz in St. Louis?

From the St. Louis Rams website:

Fairchild will begin his second season with the sole responsibility of offensive coordinator, after also coaching the quarterbacks in 2003.

Steve came to St. Louis after spending two seasons with the Buffalo Bills as running backs coach (2001-02). Prior to being named the Bills running backs coach in 2001, Fairchild spent eight seasons at Colorado State (1993-2000), including the last four as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach.

Fairchild began his coaching career in 1982 at Mesa Community College in San Diego before moving to Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, from 1984-85. Fairchild coached tight ends and was recruiting coordinator for San Diego State in 1986, then was offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at New Mexico from 1987-89.

He returned to coach quarterbacks at San Diego State from 1990-92, where he coached the Seattle Seahawks’ first-round draft pick Dan McGwire.

Fairchild, a native of Decatur, IL, was a standout college quarterback who set national passing records at San Diego Mesa Community College. He became the first junior college player to throw for 5,000 yards in route to earning all-America honors and two consecutive Junior College Most Valuable Player awards. While at San Diego Mesa Community College, Fairchild played under then-assistant coach Mike Martz. Fairchild then moved to Colorado State where he was a second-team all-Western Athletic Conference selection.

Fairchild is married to Nancy, and has two daughters, Lindsey and Jill. They reside in Chesterfield, MO.

Doesn't really say too much about his style, but being a QB and the QB coach in 2003 I suspect he'll still be pass heavy.

Good stuff biju!

The same game plan will continue to be used cause no one is smart enough to make up a new one. So value relatively remains the same.
one of these guys or Kurt Warner's wife will most likely take over.
Steve Fairchild Offensive Coordinator
Larry Marmie Defensive Coordinator
Joe Vitt Assistant Head Coach/Linebackers

Mike Martz will take a leave of absence of at least six weeks from the Rams while he is treated for endocarditis, a bacterial infection of the heart.
In a statement, the team says Martz will be out indefinitely. Assistant head coach Joe Vitt will take over the team in the meantime. With the same system and quality players in place, we don't see a major change in the fantasy value of Rams players for 2005. Oct. 10 - 5:00 pm et

Hmm...without Mike Martz, doesn't the value of Marc Bulger go down since he won't throw the ball as much?

Duh. Yes.

I don't think it goes down all that much.

I think he will have less attempts but the quality of those attempts should go up with an improved running game.

His INT's may go down since everyone won't be dropped back in coverage all the time.

I still think he is top 5 fantasy QB.
