What's New In the NFL?

The St. Louis Rams concluded a two day interview with Vikings defensive coordinator, Leslie Frazier, on Wednesday. Later in the day they began discussions with Cowboys offensive coordinator, Jason Garrett. Also, general manager, Billy Devaney is interviewing finalist in Los Angeles for the head coaching job with the exception of Ravens defensive coordinator rex Ryan. He met with the team in Baltimore on Sunday during a break in preparation for the AFC championship game.

Devaney said he hoped to hire a coach before the Senior Bowl on January 24. Speaking to him on the phone Wednesday night, Frazier said he is anticipating learning the Rams' decision by this weekend. He was passed over by Denver for the vacancy there, but is on Detroit's list of finalists. Other interviews are also going on. Rams owners Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez along with senior adviser John Shaw, who resigned as team president after last season, are participating in the interviews as well. The Rams have been our son's favorite team ever since we lived in L.A. and watched them play in the coliseum.
