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.. |

It's all just speculation, of course, but I don't think Pioli was going to rush something as important as his own contract negotiations just so he could deal with Herm and the coaching carousel, knowing Herm only has a year left on his contract. That said, I knew Pioli wasn't going to run into Arrowhead and start swinging the ax on his first day or two. And if Spagnuolo was first on Pioli's list, Pioli wasn't going to fire Herm on Thursday or Friday knowing Spagnuolo could go to the Rams this weekend. You could be right in that Pioli might have his man, but he might have been forced to sit back a little and see what happened due to the timing of everything. I hate Herm as much as anyone, but Herm failing next year is better than making the wrong decision at HC and having to deal with it for the next 3-5 years. |

The only job Garrett is being considered for is OC.
He wants out of Dallas, here's his shot. |

You guys who think Pioli will keep Herm... Go listen to the interview on kcchiefs.com with Hunt and Pioli. It's a good interview. Nothing was said about Herm, but Pioli's sure sounds like he wants to find a coach who is about discipline and flawless execution, like Belichick. Herm is a motivator coach, which is the opposite type of coach as Belichick.
This goes well beyond whether or not Herm is an effective head coach. He's simply a terrible fit with Pioli. |
