The St. Louis Rams (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=stl), winless and riddled with injuries, will wait until the end of the season to decide if coach Scott Linehan will return in 2008, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday.

"I can say that it's not even a subject of conversation today," team president John Shaw said, according to the Post-Dispatch. "Nor will it be until the season's over. There's still 11 games left in the season. He's our coach. ... We'll look at where everything is after the season."


Linehan is 8-13 in two seasons as head coach in St. Louis. He went 8-8 last season, his first in the NFL.


The Rams, at 0-5 one of three remaining winless teams in the NFL, are facing four road games in a five-game stretch covering the next six weeks. Injuries, most notably to starting quarterback Marc Bulger (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5197) and left tackle Orlando Pace (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3951), have decimated the roster.

The Post-Dispatch reported that Shaw has told associates that even a one- or two-victory season might not cost Linehan his job because of the number of injuries the team has sustained.

if you're really unhappy with your (Bills) OC then Linehan may be available. Can't really say anything about his HC stuff, but I thought he was an above average OC with Miami. He had his moments when he tried to be cute with some plays, but still a pretty good OC IMO.
