I have a little time on my hands over the holiday and thought I'd run a new dynasty.

I will primarily be simming games in order to move quickly through seasons. I may play a couple of games in the season and will play all the playoff games. Not doing a whole lot of rules or restrictions on this one, although I will be using the ADEMBROWSKI sliders that I have set as default.

A Savior Comes to St. Louis?

Ken Joslin is smart, energetic and confident he's the right choice as new coach of the St. Louis Rams.

Joslin oozed enthusiasm during a news conference to introduce him as Scott Linehan's successor on Saturday, even if he did not offer specifics about his plan to help the Rams climb back among the NFL's elite.

Joslin takes over a team that has struggled in recent years. The Rams have not been to the playoffs since 2004, and are coming off of a 3-13 2007 season.

Tired of losing, and lacking confidence in HC Scott Linehand, owner Raymond P. Goodnight, decided to make a change. The Rams had been considering promoting from with, but in the end decided to go with someone from the college ranks.

"He's a leader, commands the respect of the team ... and his peers," team owner Raymond P. Goodnight said.

"Ken can relate to today's NFL player," Goodnight added. "The game has changed a lot. It's always changing. ... If you don't adapt to those changes, you can't compete."

Although he has no previous head coaching experience, Joslin doesn't believe owner Raymond P. Goodnight and general manager Ray Zest are taking any more of a gamble on him than any team does, when they bring in a new head coach.

"I'm confident in my abilities. I have no problem telling you, I'm a better coach than some of the guys out there doing it right now. I've been successful at every level, I've coached, and I'll be successful at this level."

Following a record breaking season at Oklahoma State University, several colleges were interested in hiring Joslin. Joslin also reportedly interviewed for a coaching position with the Redskins, Raiders, Dolphins, Vikings, and Jets.

"We went out and played our hearts out, earning a Bowl trip, and I'm very proud of it. But, it's time to move on. It is time for me to step out from Mike's shadow and show what I can do on my own." , said Joslin.

Nevertheless, Joslin conceded that even he's a little surprised by his rapid ascension, especially considering he was a new offensive assistant/QB Coach for less than a year with the OSU Cowboys.

"It's really hard to even imagine right now. It's all happened so fast," Joslin said.

Mike Gundy lured Joslin away from NE Oklahoma A&M. Joslin joined the Cowboys as QB Coach/Offensive Assistant. OSU Head Coach Mike Gundy had this to say about Coach Joslin.

"He's one of the more young and dynamic coaches in the league. He's a guy that everyone in the locker room looks up to for the way he knows this game, and for the way he approaches this game."

When asked about what he plans to do specifically, Coach Joslin had this to say, "First thing we need to do is get rid of some deadweight. I'm looking ahead to the draft and can tell you we will be pretty aggressive come draft day. There is going to be a lot of new faces around here come opening day."

Rams Gearing Up For 2008

The Rams don't use the franchise tag, but do give FS O.J. Atogwe a level 2 RFA tender, meaning that it will take a 1st rounder to pry him away from St. Louis.

Despite tendering FS Atogwe, new HC Joslin wastes no time in free agency going out and grabbing FS Eugene Wilson. Wilson signed a 5 year deal believed to be worth around $4.2M/year. The only other free agent the Rams signed was LT Torrin Tucker (2yr deal worth around $600k/year.)

St. Louis a Revolving Door

New HC K. Joslin has set a new record, completing a whopping 28 trades in the FA period. Coach Joslin had this to say, when asked for comment, "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to upgrade the talent level on this team. I'm not interested in keeping guys around because of what they did in the past, or whatever. Mark my words, we'll do more deals before the start of the season."

(Normally I wouldn't trade like this, but I wanted to see how many guys I could get rid of...and ended up being shocked by how many guys I could unload, and the deals I got with a little persistance.)
