Report: Spagnuolo gets Rams job
From Bernie Miklasz of the St Louis Post Dispatch:
http://www.stltoday.com/forums/viewt...ba303946bc47a5 NY Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will be the new head coach of the St. Louis Rams. The Rams and Spagnuolo are currently negotiating the terms of his contract and indications are that we can expect the announcement of the hiring later today. At this time no news conference is planned for Saturday at Rams Park. Spagnuolo, 49, was the Giants defensive coordinator in 2007 and 2008 and came up with the game plan that resulted in five sacks of Tom Brady and a shocking upset of the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Before that, Spagnuolo learned his trade under acclaimed Philadelphia defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, working as an Eagles defensive assistant from 1999-2006. Rams GM Billy and Spagnuolo have been friends for many years and that relationship obviously created a trust factor that helped Spagnuolo feel comfortable about taking the Rams job. Spagnuolo wowed the Rams' brass with a presentation in Los Angeles on Thursday. Spagnuolo was born in Whitinsville, Mass. and attended Grafton High School, where he is a member of the school’s athletic Hall of Fame. Spagnuolo earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Springfield College and a master's degree in sports management from the University of Massachusetts. He is a member of the Springfield College Hall of Fame. He's married; wife's name is Maria and she's a native of Philadelphia. Congrats to Devaney and Rosenbloom. -B Last edited by OnTheWarpath15; 01-17-2009 at 02:26 PM.. |

IMO, that is Clark's plan. Hiring Pioli will soften the blow.

I really don't believe that Clark took the time he did to get Pioli on board because he had some back room alterior motive of keeping Herman ****ing Edwards around.
He took the time he did because it;s his first major decision as the owner and he wanted to ensure that he got the right person. I also believe that Pioli is taking time now because he wants to get the right guy. I really would not be surprise to see him wait until next week, or even the week after to start making changes.

thats what i thought too.
apparently, Rams | Devaney insists Garrett not offered coaching job Sat, 17 Jan 2009 06:27:19 -0800 Jim Thomas and Bill Coats, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, report St. Louis Rams general manager Billy Devaney insisted that the team's head coaching job was not being offered to Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, even though Garrett arrived in St. Louis Friday, Jan. 16, for a "second interview." Devaney described Garrett's presence in St. Louis as "part of the interview process." Devaney added, "Jason didn't know much about St. Louis, and he wanted to look at the facility. We're not close to moving on Jason Garrett. I'm not even going to say he's the leading guy." this is from kffl.com |

You mean the guy who really under achieved with the talent he has in Dallas? Really sounds like a guy I want to coach a much less talented team.

Romo was hurt a good bit, and TO finally worked his magic. Read where Garrett wants to leave because TO has made working conditions so bad.
