As expected, the winless St. Louis Rams have fired Scott Linehan and have named defensive coordinator Jim Haslett their interim head coach for the rest of the season.

“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.

“Unfortunately, the situation with the Rams as they exist today is no longer acceptable and we have to make a change.”

Under Linehan’s leadership the Rams have had a horrible 11-25 record. Former Saints head coach Jim Haslett will take over for Linehan and he has already made his presence felt by reinstating Marc Bulger as the Rams starting quarterback.

Haslett is a fiery head coach who demands the respect of his players, don’t be surprised if the Rams turn their season around under his direction.
