Steven Jackson makes his peace with Linehan
By Jim Thomas
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
During the usual postgame mingling with the opposing team, St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson made sure he found Scott Linehan last Sunday at Ford Field.
“I just wished Coach Linehan the best in his future,” Jackson said. “I just wanted to let him know that I really had no gripes. I really don’t dislike him. He did wonders for me during the holdout.
“A lot of people don’t know, when we were at a stalemate in conversation in the holdout, Coach Linehan is the person that really broke the ice. And I wanted to personally thank him and just let him know that I wish him the best in whatever he does.”
Now the offensive coordinator in Detroit, Linehan was fired 13 months ago in St. Louis four games into his third season as Rams head coach. Jackson, who had been critical of Linehan’s benching of quarterback Marc Bulger last season, missed training camp and the preseason in ‘08 because of a contract holdout.
