Jim Haslett has been eliminated from consideration for the Rams coaching job. Haslett was 2-10 after being promoted from defensive coordinator when Scott Linehan was fired. "Jim took over an impossible situation," GM Billy Devaney said. "He kept the team focused and playing hard, and, as an organization, we are much better off for his contribution. "We decided that, after going through the interview process and in the spirit of that process, it was best to let Jim know that we are going to go in a new direction."
