Rams fire Head Coach Linehan

[BDBohnzie]

I haven't had a chance to talk to a good friend of mine, who is a big Rams fan since the days of Everett and Dickerson, but if they gave the Interim job to Haslett, I'm willing to bet Saunders turned it down. My buddy was convinced Saunders was the guy who was going to take it...

Linehan didn't stand a chance. Their drafts have been horrible and they can't seem to land any decent FAs. With Issac Bruce gone, their lone receiving weapon is Holt, who is talented but at 33, is getting up there in years. Jackson is a stud, but the only guy they can run consistently behind is Pace, who is probably going to retire after the season. Then in desperation, Linehan benches Bulger in favor of Soft Head Green. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bulger back in the lineup very soon. Their defense is horrible...while getting Chris "Don't Call Me Howie" Long was good, they've got journeymen everywhere else, and Linehan cut their best cover man a few weeks ago.

Haslett has a long uphill battle awaiting him...
