ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams have hired Miami offensive
coordinator Scott Linehan, the sixth first-time NFL
head coach to land a job in the last two weeks.

The team called a news conference for Friday to introduce their
fourth head coach since moving to the Midwest in 1995.

It's the first hire outside the organization, however, since
Dick Vermeil was lured out of retirement in 1997. That move
produced the franchise's only Super Bowl victory after the 1999
season.

The 42-year-old Linehan impressed the team in two interviews.
Then, he passed a final test with a meeting with team majority
owner Georgia Frontiere in Arizona.

Linehan helped the Dolphins finish 9-7, winning their last six
games. He had been one of three finalists along with Bears
defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and Chargers offensive coordinator
Cam Cameron.
