Rams report, 1/30: new names in front office searches

Happy Super Bowl XXXIV anniversary.....

The Rams' GM search has picked up the pace a little bit, with two interviews scheduled for today. They will talk with Jets VP of college scouting Joey Clinkscales and a new name to the list, Vikings director of player personnel George Paton. They'll join Les Snead, Ryan Grigson and Lake Dawson on the list of candidates the Rams have interviewed. Grigson, however, has already taken the Colts' GM job, and Dawson is an unlikely candidate here after getting a promotion in Tennessee.

Big Dead DPP Steve Keim was scheduled for an interview over the weekend but it had to be postponed. Uncertain at this time if talks will go through with Dolphins DPP Brian Gaine or Colts DPP Tom Telesco.

It has also been revealed that the Rams had interviewed Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano for their head coaching job. This only came out after the Buccaneers made Schiano their new head coach last week. Schiano would have been the Rams' Plan B if things had fallen through with Jeff Fisher.

In ex-Rams news, former defensive coordinator Ron Meeks has joined the Chargers' staff as secondary coach.
