PFT Stirs the pot - Mueller mentioned for Rams job

[Nublar7]

NAMES SURFACING FOR RAMS' FRONT OFFICE

We've confirmed that multiple scouts were scalped by the St. Louis Rams on Friday, even though the "real" media hasn't said a peep about the transactions.

We're also now hearing that former Bills G.M. Tom Donahoe and current Dolphins G.M. Rany Mueller's names have popped up as possible new additions to the Rams' front office, in not-yet-specified roles.

Because Mueller doesn't have final say over the draft and/or the 53-man roster, and does not have the power to hire and fire the head coach, he'd need to acquire such duties in order to be able to leave Miami without the blessing of the team. So if the Fins were to allow Mueller to take a lateral move, it could be a sign that the guy who calls the shots in South Florida -- coach Nick Saban -- isn't happy with the performance of the former Saints' G.M. in less than a year on the job.

In St. Louis, Mueller would be reunited with former Dolphins offensive coordinator Scott Linehan and, more significantly, former Saints head coach Jim Haslett. Mueller and Haslett had emerged as a strong one-two punch several years ago, before Saints owner Tom Benson abruptly fired Mueller.

Donahoe essentially has faded from view since being released by the Bills. We've heard that, if he join the Rams, it won't be as the G.M.

Charley Armey currently is the Rams' G.M. There has been speculation of late that he'll soon be let go.

No real substance to their report, and I doubt Saban would let his right hand man just walk to the Rams.

I am fairly confident that its just something PFT threw against the wall hoping it wouldl stick.

This is the time of year for hiring personnel evaluators but I think Mueller signed a multi year deal .There would have to be a buyout inmvolved and that is highly unlikely.

Nice find Nub. Credible or not, if Randy leaves, we will just plug in
someone else.
Saban is the brains of this operation, so I'm not too worried....

I wonder if Scott Linehan had any imput though?
It seems like he was trying to raid our staff a few months ago.

 

[HysterikiLL]

Ahhh beat me too it

 

[Ruderic]

Has it even been a year that Mueller has been with the team? I think not.

he already let his right hand man go to the rams....scott liehan right?

Linehan ran the offense, he didn't help make free agent and draft decisions. Saban's main helpers in free agency and draft are Randy Mueller and Scott O'Brien.

PFT is entirely incorrect on this point. There are no circumstances where someone in the front office can leave their contract without permission, for a promotion or otherwise. See Pioli, Scott for more info. The only way Mueller can leave is if we grant permission for him to interview and pursue another job, or when his contract expires.

Randy Mueller on April 14th:

It's been a good fit for me and I have really enjoyed being here and I am looking forward to a lot more years of winning games and having fun. The Dolphins are a great place to be at this time, and I think that we are setting ourselves up to make a pretty good run.

 

[Mike13]

I really doubt Mueller would leave after less than a year on the job. This is just the same BS from PFT.

I think so too. It worries me to see his named mentioned, but I don't think he will leave after just one season.

 

[PHINANALYST]

Doubtful that he would leave until after this season ....

I would also make the RAMS give up a draft pick for him ...
