The Facts:
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, citing unnamed team sources, reported Sunday that the Rams players have drafted a petition to owner Chip Rosenbloom, asking him to keep Haslett as the team's coach. "He knows what we need on this team," a veteran player, speaking anonymously, told the newspaper. "He knows the strengths and the weaknesses. He knows his players in and out. He's the right guy for the job."

On Wednesday, Rams president John Shaw resigned after 29 years with the franchise and Billy Devaney was promoted to general manager. Devaney, who has 23 years of NFL scouting experience, will be responsible for all player personnel decisions, including the draft, free-agent acquisitions, trades and other transactions. He'll also lead the search for a new head coach after the season. "We'll start talking about things in the next couple of days, but we've said all along that it's a process and that Jim's a viable candidate," Devaney said. "We'll see where we're at probably starting tomorrow [Monday]." Haslett, 2-9 after replacing Scott Linehan following an 0-4 start, is among the candidates.
