Scott Linehan was fired as head coach by the St. Louis Rams on Monday and was replaced by defensive coordinator Jim Haslett on an interim basis.
Linehan has led the Rams to an 0-4 record thus far this season and has lost 17 of its last 20 games. Linehan had an overall 11-25 record in his first head-coaching job. The Rams have been outscored 147-43 this season and have given up 30 points in each of its last seven games.
This is the second consecutive 0-4 start for the Rams, who ended last season with a 3-13 record, earning the second pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. The Rams were 8-8 in Linehan's first season in 2006, winning four of its last six games after Linehan turned over play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Greg Olson.
Haslett was fired as coach of the New Orleans Saints after the 2005 season, and joined the Rams on Linehan's first staff in 2006.
Haslett was the head coach of the Saints for six years and earned a 45-51 record in his first head coaching position. During his tenure, he earned one division title and one playoff appearance.
