St. Louis Rams received permission to interview Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton for their head coaching job today.

 

[THESMEL]

Maybe Whiz should have taken better care of his defense? tried harder to establish a run game and give them a breather instead of bad field position and another 3 and out. Just Maybe.

fml lol

 

[SuperSpck]

Crap!
(good for Horty, but crap!)

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Well, if Horton leaves, we can always hire Keith Butler from Pittsburgh .

 

[Cardiac]

Rooney rule.

I highly doubt the Rams go for another former DC as their HC. They need an Offensive minded coach to ensure they get Bradford back on track.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I think they go for a "name" coach.

 

[Cardiac]

I think they go for a "name" coach.

I agree. They almost have to, they need to give that fan base a reason for hope.

This.

 

[BigRedRage]

i wanted NO fisher in rams land until I saw this, now they can have fisher.

I would imagine this is simply rooney rule though.

Wow! You just never miss an opportunity to put a negative spin on anything that could even be remotely connected to Whiz, do you? How about, "Just Maybe", Horton has impressed a few people around the league and that fact coupled with the Rooney rule will have him interviewing every offseason until one of them actually hires him.

You are right, I think eventually we will lose him but probably not this year.

Try the "ignore" function, that's what I did.

Rooney rule.

Most likely

Why not just promote Josh McDaniels from within?

The problem with trying to hire an offensive minded HC is you'll most likely get two contrasting ideas about how to operate the offense, unless he's willing to defer the offensive responsibilities to McDaniels. Bradford has already endured a lot of change since coming into the league, I don't think it'd be prudent to implement yet another offensive scheme.

It would make Bradford just as bad as Alex Smith.

 

[Mulli]

Not likely Rooney Rule. Todd Bowles already interviewed.

 

[ajcardfan]

The job is Fisher's if he wants it. I think Horton would not be a popular choice with Rams fans. Can anyone really say he has a better resume than Spagnoulo did? I don't think so. Spags ran a defense that won a Super Bowl over the 18-1 Pats.

Promote Josh McD to Head Coach? Is the ghost of Al Davis now coaching the Rams?

 

[Crazy Canuck]

The Rams also requested permission to interview Todd Bowles, which also covers the Rooney Rule.

Jurecki said Bowles already interviewed.

 

[D-Dogg]

Ugh...get used to this for awhile.

FIRE GRIMM...Make Horton the Assistant HC.

Double-Rooney rule?

Solution.

 

[Southpaw]

Double-Rooney rule?

They will get credit for the next one in 2 years.

Couple this with the news that Miami will not be out-bid for Fisher, and I have a bad feeling about this.

Well, Manusky is available.
