Not true. His contract as “interim” head coach expired at the end of the season. He is free to do as he wishes, he’s a free agent.

KC radio - 810 I think. Who knows, could be wishful thinking on their part.

technically, Hasmat’s contract runs through Feb 15. As a general rule, once the season wrap up is complete, coaches who are not wrapped up for the following season are allowed to start interviewing and taking other jobs prior to expiration of the contract.

Rams search continues.
- -
They have a very nice process in place and they’re going to stick with it even though by the time they get around to making a decision, all of the decent coaches will be hired by someone else.
- -
But give them credit where due, their process is a neat and orderly one.

I can hear it now, “Jim Hasmat is the right man for this job. We interviewed all of the other available candidates and decided that the best candidate, and the man to lead this team to the playoffs and SB, was right here the whole time…”

It is true. Part of Haslett taking the job in week 5 was the he would not have the “interim” term. That means his contract goes the length of the rest of them. As this paper reported, he is still the active Head Coach, not interim.

Technically true, “end of the season” is after the Super Bowl, point is, Haslett was NOT kept from interviewing anyplace else by the Rams, no one else is interested. That’s also the only reason he’s probably so interested in this job - it might be his last shot as a HC.

Haslett can say anything he wants, but he is NOT the head coach of the Rams. For them to have hired him as head coach would have violated the Rooney rule. He can split hairs all he wants but he is an interim. Period.

No way KC actually announces that they hired Spags - if they did - the same day they hire Pioli. It’s bad form and makes it look like Pioli has been working before he cut out of NE (New England, not Nebraska)

are ther any minority owners in the NFL?
- - maybe the Rooney rule should apply to the Rooney’s too…

I have one simple question for Haslett haters, why should his defense have been better given the god awful players he had to build it with? I’m just curious.

Can we hire a coach before they are all gone!

Hey Rookie,
Despite having good defenses, Ryan was fired with Bilick and the rest of the Ravens staff. And this was despite all of the players calls for him to be head coach. Smart ownership wanted change. The new HC hired Ryan back.
