The St. Louis Rams who are in the midst of yet another dismal season have accepted the resignation of the head of Football Operations Jay Zygmunt. The media release called it a mutual "agreement". Zygmunt has presided over two of the worst seasons of Rams football in the teams fabled history. In addition, Rams President John Shaw is expected to have a diminished role in the teams future. These actions are apparently being orchestrated by new owner Chip Rosenbloom. Rosenbloom succeeded his step mother the late Georgia Frontiere.
So, what does this mean to Rams fans? Well, for starters Billy Devaney will take over the operations of the team. The book is out on Devaney, but the dismissal of Zygmunt is seen as a move in the right direction by many long time St. Louis season ticket holders. Zygmunt had been involved in the deal that brought Marshall Faulk to St. Louis late in the 90s. Faulk and the Rams went on to win the 2000 Super Bowl against Tennessee. But, in recent years Zygmunt feuded with former head coach Mike Martz and draft director Charley Armey. So, from a fans point of view, it is perceived at this point as a good move by the ownership.
