All signs point to Frazier or Spagnuolo for St. Louis Rams
By Jim Thomas
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
There’s no doubt that Minnesota’s Leslie Frazier and the New York Giants Steve Spagnuolo were the stars of the Rams’ finalist interviews this week in Los Angeles, multiple sources _ including team sources _ have told the Post-Dispatch.
As of Friday morning, it appeared that Frazier, the Vikings assistant head coach-defensive coordinator, is choice No. 1.
But Spagnuolo, the Giants’ defensive coordinator is a strong 1A, interviewed very well, and the team would be enthusiastic about hiring him as well.
So the only thing that would prevent the Rams from reaching a decision in the next 24 hours would be if the team decided to wait on Rex Ryan, the Baltimore assistant head coach-defensive coordinator. Ryan’s Ravens are still in the playoffs, and he can’t be hired until Baltimore is eliminated.
Ryan’s preliminary interview went well last Sunday in Baltimore. But if the Rams decided to wait on Ryan and the Ravens lost the AFC championship game to Pittsburgh, he would still have to meet Rams ownership before a decision was made.
And with team ownership and management so high on Frazier and Spagnuolo, there’s probably no reason to wait on Ryan.

yeah i'm sure he loves hearing reports that he might lose his job.
