Opportunity for a winning team
Los Angeles sports has always been about winning.
Not just regular season success, of course, but proving championship caliber in the post-season.

With the Los Angeles Rams, they still have to find the right coach to handle Jared Goff correctly while at the same time not slowing the team down.
Not an easy, if even possible, task.
