bfett81 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Wotta life. http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/aro...staff-hirings/ 01.26.2009 2:04 pm St. Louis Rams announce 3 staff hirings By Jim Thomas St. Louis Post-Dispatch Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo has confirmed the hiring of Paul Ferraro on his defensive staff, and also announced the hiring of Dick Curl as assistant head coach-quarterbacks coach and Frank Leonard as an offensive assistant. Curl, 68, has spent the last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, but worked previously for the New York Jets (2003-2005). He and Spagnuolo worked together for a couple of years in NFL Europe, with the Barcelona Dragons in 1992 and with the Frankfurt Galaxy in 1998. It is believed Ferraro will be the Rams linebackers coach, but while confirming his hiring, Spagnuolo referred only to him as a defensive assistant. Ferraro has spent the past three seasons as special teams coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, but most of his career coaching experience has been on the defensive side.

JohnnyHector Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 At least we know that the Rams won't be lacking in the clock management department next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 About 10 years ago, former NFL commissioner, Paul Tagliabue, put in an addendum to the NFL bylaws which requires that Curl be employed by at least one team until the time of his physical dismemberment or death. It seems that Tagliabue, smartly, realized that just saying the name Dick Curl has brought--and will continue to bring--a level of humor to sports fans not seen since the 80s and MLB's Russell Jay "Rusty" Kuntz.
