According to various online reports, the Rams will introduce Steve Spagnuolo as their new head coach on Monday. He will receive a 4-year contract in the $11-12 million dollar range. Fascinatingly, that's not that much more than he was making as DC of the Giants.
Brilliant investigative work by all the people out there, led by Adam Schefter at NFL Network, that the pick was going to be Jason Garrett. Good thing Schefter's not a real news reporter; he'd still be projecting John McCain to win the presidential election.
Early speculation has Chris Palmer coming aboard as Spagnuolo's offensive coordinator and Peter Giunta as defensive coordinat - WHA? PETER GIUNTA? - I'll be amazingly open-minded here and just say I trust Giunta has improved enough not to screw the pooch defensively the way he did here in 2000.
Spagnuolo was never my top pick but I've never thought he would be a bad pick. Rams Nation welcomes him with open arms.
And by the way, people, learn to spell his name right. S-P-A-G-N-U-O-L-O. This is doomed to be the most misspelled name on Rams message boards since "Winstrom".
