DEVELOPING: ESPN Claims Rams To Fire Spagnuolo, Devaney ((UPDATED: THEY DID))

((HT: KSDK-TV))

Initially, everyone and their mother thought that the 49ers would take care of the Rams withought much trouble.

There was some trouble toward the end, but not enough as a Kellen Clements injury led to a Tom Brandstatter turnover and a 34-27 win for the visitors.

As a result, another 2-14 season will not sit well with owner Stan Kroenke and he is going to fire both head coach Steve Spagnuolo and GM Billy devaney. Chris Mortensen is relying on "unnamed sources."

MONDAY UPDATE: They're gone...

Here's the statement from Kroenke...
“I would like to personally thank Steve and Billy for their dedication to the St. Louis Rams organization over the past several seasons,” said Rams owner E. Stanley Kroenke. “This was a difficult decision for many reasons. We have tremendous respect for Steve and Billy as people and football professionals.

“No one individual is to blame for this disappointing season and we all must hold ourselves accountable. However, we believe it’s in the best interest of the St. Louis Rams to make theses changes as we continue our quest to build a team that consistently competes for playoffs and championships. We wish Steve, Billy and their families the very best in the future and thank them again for their commitment to our organization and the city of St. Louis.”
