The St. Louis Rams continue their search for a new general manager. Minnesota Vikings director of player personnel George Paton interviewed with the team last Monday. Paton will have a second interview very soon for the job, possibly as soon as today, according to the Pioneer Press.
Les Snead of the Falcons is the other candidate known to have had a second interview with the Rams.
Paton has been with the Vikings for five years. Prior to that, he worked for the Dolphins from 2001-2006.
Others who have interviewed for the GM job include: Joey Clinkscales, VP of college scouting for the Jets; Brian Gaine, Miami's director of player personnel; Ron Hill, who ran the Falcons drafts from 2001-2003; and Steve Keim, the Cardinals director of player personnel.
Tom Telesco removed his name from consideration after he received a promotion from the Colts.
Two other candidates, Mike Ackerley and Rich Snead, have been reported as candidates before, but are not. TST first reported last Sunday that Rich Snead was not a GM candidate, and the PD had the scoop on Ackerley later that week.
Titans exec Lake Dawson was promoted to VP of player personnel, but some say he could still be in the mix for the Rams job.

Lake Dawson remains my #1 choice
Been losing sleep over Rams football since 1999.
Steven Jackson is a beast, a legend, a HoFer and should be treated as such.
Who ever they are
we better get randy moss out of retirement.

Ugh...
I’m hoping for either 1) Dawson or 2) Keim

Could it be that it is taking so long because of the potential complications with Dawson?
It seems that maybe Fisher really wants him but the Titans brass is resistant somehow.
good question
I don’t think we got to actually interview Dawson. All these other homies don’t qualify because of their whiteness. Dawson just needs to go ahead and do the inevitable though, and pull a Brandon Lloyd on the Titans ass, following his boy Fish to the Lou!
so we still have to satisfy it, I'm guessing an interview with Dawson is inevitable

The Rule was established to ensure that minority coaches, especially African American were considered for high-level coaching positions. Until 1979, Fritz Pollard was the only minority head coach in NFL history (which was during the league’s early years in the 1920s) and by the time the Rule was implemented, only Tom Flores, Art Shell, Dennis Green, Ray Rhodes, Tony Dungy, and Herman Edwards had ever held head coaching jobs (Only Dungy and Edwards were actively head coaching at the time of the Rule’s implementation, though Shell and Green would later return to the sidelines as head coaches). Dungy in particular had struggled for years before getting a head coaching job; he was often promoted as a head coaching candidate by Chuck Noll when Dungy was an assistant under Noll in 1980s with the Steelers, but he would not become a head coach until 1996 when he took over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Seattle has shown interest in hosting a Super Bowl
which could be Super Bowl 50, in 4 years. Thats gives us a good amount of time to get really good……..three years if we want to win in Arizona, too
Super bowl 50 will be in la at farmers field The rams new stadium

JUST REMEMBER --OUR FUTURE FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS
RESTS ON THIS DECISION
yea and i think it will hurt attendance at the ed the next 3 years
when your team is destined to move the enthusiasm is hard to muster up that and
a lousy team
an owner who doesn’t want to even play all his 8 games at home
just hope the team rebuilds somewhat so when they do move to the coast they will generate some explosive interest
i said all along st. loui is a baseball town ….always has been ..always will be
with the exception of TGSON years hasn’t really been that successfull
richard brooks anyone?
Please stop ruining good music
plus that song is against California and its lifestyle. Point to STL.

LA lost two teams already.
Piss poor fans. The Rams aren’t going anywhere. You guys haven’t even come to a decision on a stadium decision yet. You might get an expansion team but that’s it. And you will lose that team too

But hey....
Keep dreaming in one hand and shitting in the other…..let me know which one fills up first haha
by Rcoon1307 on Feb 6, 2012 10:12 PM CST via mobile reply actions
And what is it with you guys?
Why can’t LA fans spell? I mean how do you misspell “the”? Seriously? Lol
by Rcoon1307 on Feb 6, 2012 10:14 PM CST via mobile reply actions
if you guys would sell out your home games in st loui you wouldn't have to worry about any of this
let alone have 1 game overseas…unreal
You cannot expect a city to sell out when the team is 2-14
And had a 10 wins total in the 3 years before that. LA would have been just as empty.
And while it is stressful time...
Kroenke wants to keep his team here. It’s called leverage. And he isn’t going anywhere. He didn’t buy the team just to sell half of it three years down the road. The dude is from here.

And I apologize to LA fans who aren't D bags...
It just seems that this site has alot of LA fans who talk so much shit. How do you talk shit when you don’t even have an NFL team?

I thought all was well and good again in the land of TST.
Imagine my surprise when I go to my computer and learn that the gooroo has returned to wreak havoc once again.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
say what you want.....the owner will not keep the tream here in the future
and i’m not an ass for thinking so
many others feel the same way
kroaneke has already put the pieces in play
st loui’s only chance is a big state of the art stadium..
and we know it will only be half full with even 7 home games
by then maybe even less home games
No your an ass for saying it will happen for sure
with just speculation to back it up.

And an ass for the way you treat people on this site

Double concur....
And let me add that you don’t bring anything good to the site. Your like a cancerous mole. You just say things to antagonize. And you can’t spell even with spell check….which throws all credibility out the window

Seriously????
Tream? Kroankeke? St loui’s? Can you spell “edit”? Probably not.

I’ll be the assistant GM who gets to sit there and do nothing.

What ticks me off is how many post he'll put up
like seriously, 10 in a row and that fact that he has yet to discover the reply button

just expressinf my thoughts ...and if you know psychology
when you have endured this kind of pathetic play for 9 -10 whatever years it is hard to change to positive mode until you see something positive happenin for at least a few years
when positive things happen ….i’m all for it
just do not feel it will be in st ., lou
america …freedom of speech…….i call no one names or belittle them…..just the mood the
past 10 seasons have put me in….i like to watch games with meaning…with crowds….not meaningless games with half empty stadiums ….thats all
Hey, DC- look!
All this time everyone had it wrong. The Gateway to the West- ST., LOU AMERICA.
If only you knew psychology, DC.

"I like to watch games with crowds"
Well I like watching games for football. And if your tired of watching the Rams then like DC said “31 other teams” buddy

I'm just wondering....
Most phones and laptops have autocorrect these days. Do can you imagine what Jswirb’s posts would look like without it!
