I do not think anything’s official yet. But if that’s the instructions that he goes, then he’ll do a terrific task just like he did previously. He and I have an excellent relationship no matter how it winds up finishing up. He’s going to do an excellent job with us the rest of this year. Then if that’s the direction that he selects, then I understand he’ll do an exceptional task there.”The Rams next play Dec. 19 at Green Bay on Monday Night Football.
