After finishing as a runner-up for the Redskins’ head-coaching job last offseason, Jim Fassel is in the running for the Rams’ vacancy this offseason.

Fassel is scheduled to interview with the Rams on Thursday in St. Louis.

Fassel has spent this season as a football radio analyst, providing color commentary. He broadcast the Cardinals-Falcons wild-card game Saturday and now will begin preparing for his next assignment Thursday.

The Rams also are high on Packers assistant Winston Moss.

Give other coordinators a chance...I really don't want to settle for anyone until all of the people we want to interview are available and if that means waiting until the superbowl is over then so be it.

We appear to have a contradiction

What'd Jim Fassel ever do to you? He's got the head coaching experience some people have been looking for, he wasn't horrible as a head coach. If you sweep that whole Baltimore thing under the rug and ignore that Giant meltdown against San Fran in the playoffs it doesn't seem so bad.

You guys like that? Giant meltdown...I'm the next Carlin

Just another interview is all. Nothing is indicating he's a finalist.

Oh wait, this just in... if you are currently within the St. Louis city limits, you are now officially considered a finalist in the Rams' head coaching search.

Take it with a grain of salt....Shefter is not all that reliable on his reports....Devany himself already shot down the report Adam made about Moss getting a 2nd interview call already.
