Linehan is Out

St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan got axed this morning after the Rams suffered another one sided defeat yesterday at the hands of the Buffalo Bills.

It was expected, as I wrote yesterday. But, the larger problem is the team's lack of talent. That ultimately falls on the head of Jay Zygmunt, the team's general manager. Zygmunt fought former coach Mike Martz for several years before solidifying his power base as GM and taking ultimate responsibility for the team's annual draft.

Zygmunt's drafts have been poor. If the owners of the team, the Rosenbloom children, really want to improve the product they will get rid of Zygmunt and bring in a new general manager. The owners also need to review the performance of team president John Shaw as well.

Coach Linehan is on the hot seat

The Rams will play the Buffalo Bills later this afternoon. If the team loses it's fourth straight game, coach Scott Linehan could very well lose his job before the team has the week off for a bye next Sunday.

The Rams have been horrible at best this season. And now reports are coming out of the locker room of dissension among the players and a lack of faith in management decisions.

Add to this, the fight that took place for control of the franchise in the past and you can see why the organization is in chaos. If Linehan gets canned it's not his fault. But, like the old saying goes, you can't fire the whole team.
