MOBILE, Ala. _ St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo has talked to a couple of potential candidates for the team’s vacant wide receivers coach job. But he’s in no hurry to fill the spot, and hopes to talk to former Rams receiving great Isaac Bruce about the position.
“I have not talked to Isaac,” Spagnuolo said following the North squad’s Wednesday practice at the Senior Bowl. ”I don’t know him that well. But I’ve heard so many great things about him as a person. And I certainly know what he was like as a player. At some point I’ll try to give him a call.”
Bruce is expected to retire after 16 seasons in the NFL, 14 of which were spent with the Rams. Earlier this month, Bruce let it be known that he would be open to talking to the Rams about the wide receivers job if the Rams were interested.
As for filling that position, Spagnuolo said, “I’m not going to do anything real sudden. I want to make sure we do it right. Get the right person for that position.”
Meanwhile, Spagnuolo said there’s only a 50-50 chance that he will actually replace departed offensive line assistant coach Art Valero, who departed for the same position on the Seattle Seahawks staff. There’s a chance Spagnuolo could reshuffle a member of the existing staff into that role, or just have head offensive line coach Steve Loney handle the duties by himself.
“I’m going to try to take care of the wide receiver spot first,” Spagnuolo said.
