Ram Tough Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 As a die hard Rams fan i am plenty ok in admitting that its time for Linehan to go. The guy just doesn't have a clue. He was a terrible OC in Miami and was a product of the Moss/CPep connection in Minny. Rams are brutal this year and its time to blow up the team. Start with the head coach and work your way from there. Can't stand looking at him on the sidelines and his press conferences seem to indicate he doesn't have a clue that he is close to losing his job.

cardman24 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 yeah i know how bad he is. He was an OC here at Louisville and I couldn't stand him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Haslett needs to go too. Mark my words, things will be different from a personnel point after the bye week. I can't wait. Edit: Rosenblum basically told him earlier this week that if things don't improve he's out of there.

gsmayes Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 you misspelled "Millen" poor Rams fans, with you Super Bowl win/appearances and greatest show on turf, I weep for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFreak Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It will be interesting to see who they bring in. Their personel isn't very good at all so don't look for huge improvement with another coach. The D is just horrendous and I would start by firing Haslett first.

Ram Tough Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Id love to have Vermiel back. He could give the organization some direction. Any other coaches you could see coming to St Louis next year? Cower.....anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Stay the course. I think we could use a "surge" of new personnel, there W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 : He was a terrible OC in Miami and was a product of the Moss/CPep connection in Minny. C-Pep put up an MVP-caliber season in Linehan's last year in MIN, and didn't have a healthy Moss for much of it. There have been quite a few really solid offensive coordinators over the years who haven't done well as head coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknladder Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Martz.... i disagree. theres more talent than a team that would need to be rebuilt. Jackson, Bulger, Holt, Witherspoon, Little, etc... i think it's a decent situation. i know Martz is under contract, but he's very familiar with alot of the personel.

Riffraff Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 i know Martz is under contract, but he's very familiar with alot of the personel. Coaches routinely have clauses that allow them to take another job if it's a promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson, Bulger, Holt, Witherspoon, Little, etc... i think it's a decent situation. i know Martz is under contract, but he's very familiar with alot of the personel. First, in order to hire Martz they would have to admit it was a mistake to fire him - not gonna happen. As for the personnel: Jackson - who runs very soft for a big guy Bulger - who even when he gets time can't hit the broadside of a barn this season Holt - who is rightly triple-teamed on every play Witherspoon - who used to be great and is still pretty good and Little - who is hurt again LOTS and LOTS of work to do.

Bill Swerski Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 i agree. but like i said your not rebuilding. those guys are pros Bulger is made of glass, Holt is entering the downside of his career, and their O- and D-lines both suck. They're rebuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The Rams are the oldest team in the NFL and arguably the worst. They do need to rebuild. You would like to think they could build around Stephen Jackson, but that hasn't worked so far. They need a few years of drafting O-lineman and defensive backs before they can be competetive again. Linehan might not be helping much, but he isn't the problem either. This is what often happens at the end of decent eras if you don't continue to develop quality depth.

Linehan might not be helping much, but he isn't the problem either. This is what often happens at the end of decent eras if you don't continue to develop quality depth. This would be true if they had anybody who was ANY good at evaluating talent and got good players. Adam Carriker, Tye Hill, Jimmie Kennedy - they were all first-rounders on the D-line or secondary and they all SUCK. Chris Long is not making plays and most of the time looks overwhelmed, so he may be added to this list as well, it's too early to tell for sure. So when we talk about Linehan, we also need to talk about getting Jay Zygmunt the heck out of there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
