The St. Louis Rams have hired Al Saunders to serve as offensive coordinator.  Per media reports, he signed a three-year deal.

The move could prompt Rams fans to ponder a possible return of the “Greatest Show on Turf,” since Saunders was receivers coach in St. Louis in 1999 and 2000.

He became the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator in 2001 when former Rams coach Dick Vermeil emerged from a one-year retirement to take over the job in Kansas City.

After Vermeil retired, Saunders accepted the position of “associate head coach-offense” with the Redskins.  His performance there, however, didn’t have the same impact as in Kansas City.
