Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said Monday afternoon that the team will address its vacant defensive coordinator spot in the next two weeks or so. The Rams hired a defensive coordinator in 2012, long-time Fisher assistant Gregg Williams who was let go by the New Orleans Saints. It was the first coaching staff hire Fisher made. Not long after that, the NFL suspended Williams indefinitely for playing a leading role in the Saints bounty scandal. Bringing Williams back has been mentioned as a possibility before, but the league has yet to reinstate the coach. The NFL has said that it has not considered reinstatement for Williams or Sean Payton yet and is unlikely to do so until after the Super Bowl. Source: SBNation.com
