As first reported by columnist Bernie Miklasz in his “Bernie’s Press Box” forum on STLtoday.com, the St. Louis Rams have selected Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to be their head coach.

The team is expected to announce the hiring of Spagnuolo later today.

More details from Rams Park as they become available.

Earlier Saturday: Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett left St. Louis this morning, and league sources said at the time that Garrett no longer was  in consideration for the Rams’ job.
