More housecleaning

Along with the elimination of Jim Haslett as a candidate for head coach, the Rams let go the assistant coaches who were not under contract. That would appear to include:

defensive line coach Brian Baker;
special teams assistant Todd Downing;
strength/conditioning assistant Chuck Faucette;
offensive assistant Jeff Horton;
strength/conditioning coach Dana DeLuc;
secondary coach Ron Milus;
special teams coach Al Roberts;
defensive coordinator Rick Venturi.

Some assistants have already moved to their next position.
Assistant offensive line/tight ends coach Jim Chaney is the U of Tennessee's new offensive coordinator.
Offensive QC coach Keith Murphy will coach WRs and special teams at New Mexico State.
Defensive QC coach Mike Cox will coach LBs at the U of Washington.

Of course, Haslett himself is rumored to be Green Bay's top candidate for their open defensive coordinator position, and in one of the more hilarious moves in NFL history, the 49ers appear intent on hiring Scott Linehan as their new offensive coordinator.

Replacing Mike Martz with Linehan worked so well for the Rams the Niners figured they should try it? Idiots.

Other Ram assistants are still under contract at this time, including:
wide receivers coach Henry Ellard;
offensive line coach Steve Loney;
offensive coordinator Al Saunders;
assistant coach/son of Al, Bob Saunders;
QB coach Terry Shea;
assistant head coach/RB coach Art Vandelay, er, Valero.

Ellard and Loney are believed to have good chances of remaining on the new coach's staff. Shame that also isn't true for Roberts, whose special teams were actually a competent unit this year.
