Linehan out in St. Louis; Haslett interim 

Post#1 » by Da Schwab » Mon Sep 29, 2008 3:14 pm

ST. LOUIS -- The winless St. Louis Rams fired coach Scott Linehan on Monday, the day after a fourth straight lopsided loss to start the season.

Defensive coordinator Jim Haslett will replace Linehan on an interim basis. The Rams scheduled a news conference for 1 p.m. ET Monday.

"I have enormous respect for Scott Linehan as a person and believe under the right circumstances he will be regarded one day as a fine head coach," owner Chip Rosenbloom said in a release. "Unfortunately, the situation with the Rams as they exist today is no longer acceptable and we have to make a change."

No real surprises here. I think this could give Jim Haslett the shot he needs to throw his hat back into the ring to get another job.

Any ideas of who could take this job next year?

No surprise here. Haslett should be out the door after the season also.
