The St. Louis Rams have hired their next head coach, Giants Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. As Defensive coordinator, the 49 year old, turned the Giants defense into a force to be reckoned with, amassing 53 sacks in his first season plus a strong Super Bowl sacking Tom Brady five times. This season, even after losing two of his defense's stars (Micheal Strahan, retirement, and Osi Umenyiora, injury), he had his defense ranked 5Th over all. Spagnuolo has his work cut out for him, as the Rams are 5-27 over the past two seasons and have struggled on both sides of the ball, with the defense being ranked 28Th over all and the offense tied for 30Th scoring just 14.5 points a game. The Rams signed him to a four year deal, reportedly worth $12 million, in hopes that he can turn them back into the perennial playoff team they were not too long ago.
