St Louis Fires OC and Oline coach

I wonder if Steve Loney will be heading to St Louis as the O line coach since he has ties with Scott Linehan?

Would be good for him he only needs a couple more years in the league to be fully vested for retirement benefits

I am really suprised that Linehan wasn't gone after this season. I guess it is because of all the injuries

Steve always seems to get hired by coaches that are on the hot seat.

Wish he never got away.

It does seem that way. At least he has a 2 year contract in case anything goes wrong.

I thought he was reritiring for good and that is why he was not sticking with Drake for a long while.

An offensive line coach in the NFL makes about 4-5 times as much as Drake's HC. I think a lot of people would be surprised how little the Drake coach makes. I think Loney did it as a favor to the AD who he knew pretty well. He was still under contract from Arizona Cardinals last year.

Met him once. Really nice guy. Good for him.

When I was at ISU one of my friends was a student assistant for the video coordinator and taped all the practices and games. He thought that Coach Loney was a great coach and even better person. Its nice to see him get another shot at the NFL, I have a feeling the Rams O-line wil be much improved in 2008.
